Weakened Warrior: Born Free 3

A couple weeks back (I know. And I'm just posting now?!?), I went to Born Free 3. What a cool event with tons of cool bikes, parts, and garments.

The ride out was interesting. Most of the way was a breeze. Unfortunately, there was an accident near our exit and backed traffic up for a few miles. Fortunately, this is California and splitting lanes is perfectly legal for motorcyclists.

Once we exited the freeway, we proceeded through various surface streets to arrive at our destination. We saw several cool bikes along the way.

Upon arrival, it exceeded my expectations. The parking lot was filling with some of the coolest bikes I've laid my eyes upon in quite some time. They were coming in constantly and my senses were being overloaded.

We walked through the vendor area, checking out many sweet bikes and perusing the goods being sold.

We proceeded to the bike show. Most of the bikes were amazing, but I would bet some were there because the parking was good and it must have been cheap or free to enter the show.

I could not believe the creativity on display on the entire site - parking and vendor areas included. Some of the most radical custom, home-built choppers and bobbers were on hand - some of which are currently featured in magazines and on some of the forums I visit.

After we left the event, we rode to Cook's Corner. At Cook's, we enjoyed a chili cook-off taking place. I also snapped a few more shots of some bikes in the lot.

Here are a few pics (of over 400 taken that day) to whet your appetites for cool custom rides. This is the probably the most photos I've posted for a single blog entry. That's a testament to the fact that there were so many cool bikes on hand.
