What a long, strange, octane-fueled trip its been for the organizers of the underrated gear head gathering known as the Born Free Motorcycle Festival, who celebrate seven lucky years of mobilizing young and old motorcycle enthusiasts around the world for a weekend of chopper oogling and Harley racing. Sneak into a pre-party or two if you like, but the main event is where the action's at: hundreds of vintage and classic Harleys, Triumphs, Indians, and more vintage and classic bikes will be on view, you can even come to the event in your own sweet ride to show off. Plus, vendors and an AMCA regional swap meet will probably have that long lost motor part you've been looking for. Plenty of kindly biker folk to meet, with handlebar mustaches matching their bike handlebars. Ride on!
