Every year, motorheads, outlaws, hooligans and garage-wrenchers make a pilgrimage to Trabuco Canyon, California, for what is nothing less than a spectacular event, jam-packed with custom-built bikes, moto-culture swap meet, half-pipe skate demos, live music, tattoos and cold beer. This year, attendees came from all corners of the earth for Born-Free's 10th birthday party, which was greeted by perfect weather and never-before-seen choppers and custom builds in all their sparkly and shining glory. As the weekend unfolded, a judge panel made up of custom builders selected their favorite bikes to win awards and the opportunity to go to Japan in the fall for the Mooneyes show. Check out some photos from the event.
