I Love Harley Davidson Bikes

ADVERTISEMENTS ADVERTISEMENTS Born-Free always serves as inspiration, showing thousands of examples of what you can do to your bike, or your next bike, or maybe what you should have done to the last one. There’s always so much to see, it’s a damn good thing it runs two days. Enjoy this gallery of Shovels and […]

Many will argue it’s the best damn bike Harley-Davidson ever made. It’s the FXR’s ability to be flogged like Secretariat down the straight that makes it such a prized possession. It’s also what makes it hard to find for the everyman. They dwell in Southern California, and they showed up en masse at Born-Free 10. […]

Harley-Davidson’s Knucklehead is one of the rarest, most expensive and most revered vintage powerplants still being used by builders today. Because of the simplicity, style, and heritage of the bike, it’s still the first choice for many customizers that can afford one. And, of course, Born-Free doesn’t just have tons of them chopped up and […]

Every year just in time for Born-Free, the clouds part, the sun comes out, and it gets hot. Hot enough to justify all those lovely tiny outfits the babes of Born-Free were donning this weekend—as if they needed justification. Photo gallery: Babes Of Born-Free 10

While the bikes are always the primary focus at Born-Free, by the time day two rolls around you have probably done more than a couple laps around the show and seen most of the things that will really catch your eye. But while the sun beats down and the beer flows, the crowd around the […]

The Born-Free Stampede is not only the first opportunity to see the bikes that builders have been preparing and the kickoff of the Southern California chopper show, it’s also one hell of a flat-track race. Builders and enthusiasts bring out all types of bikes to rub elbows on the dirt and get a sneak peek […]

Born-Free 10 is here, which means the best builders from around the world have ridden, shipped, or trailered their bikes to be exhibited at the show here in Southern California.
