Each year, the Born-Free Motorcycle Show assembles a group of Invited Builders to build their dream bikes and debut them as a focal point of the show.
“We do our best to scour the earth to bring you our favorite talent, passion, style, creativity, and personality in men and women from all different walks of life, locations, inspirations, to allow you to see it first at Born-Free… These builders are not cable TV stars but craftsmen, small shop owners, and garage builders who are doing their best to push themselves to build something unique, well thought out, and finely finished.”
Last month at Born-Free Texas 4, the BF Invited Builders were one of the main attractions alongside the San Diego Customs Performance Show, FXR Tour Builders, Ives Brothers Wall of Death, Hell on Wheels MC Dirt Track Racing, Oliver Peck Dirt Drags, live music, and more.
Our friend and photographer Drew Perlmutter was in attendance and managed to capture a selection of shots of more than 20 of the show bikes that filled Yellow Rose Canyon.
Whether it’s your style or not, it’s incredible what some of these craftsmen and garage builders have created. Got a favorite build? Let us know in the comments!
