Born-Free 16, You Did It Again.

Another year, another wild ride. Born-Free 16 brought the heat to Silverado Canyon—sun blazing, engines roaring, and a sea of custom builds that stopped us in our tracks. It wasn’t just a motorcycle show. It was a full-on celebration of craft, community, and the people who live for the ride

From sunrise to last call, the vibes were dialed. Builders rolled in from every corner of the map, each bike telling its own story in steel, paint, and attitude. Chrome gleamed, tanks were pinstriped to perfection, and the Biltwell lids? Straight-up works of art. Hand-painted, one-of-one, and built well in every sense of the word.

805 held it down on the ground with cold beer, good people, and a front-row seat to the chaos. We caught Frankie Garcia chasing sunburns and horsepower. And just about everywhere you looked, there was someone doing it their own way.

That’s the thing about Born-Free. It isn’t about trends or trophies. It’s about the culture that lives between the throttle and the road. The garage builders, the painters, the welders, the dreamers. The ones who show up because this is what they do, even when no one’s watching.

Huge thanks to the artists, the riders, and the folks who made it all happen. Until next year, cheers.
