"If You Build It They Will Come" Bike Show Results

We'd like to thank all of our amazing sponsors for supporting us in our mission to bring like minded motorcycle enthusiasts together to pay tribute to the past history, and ultimately inspire one another through the art of creation, and influence future generations of artists and builders to push the limits of motorcycle art.

Please support our sponsors, their links are on our website.

We'd also like to thank Jacquie Mann for flying out to be a part of this celebration, as well as the artists, builders and show bike participants who came from as far as Kentucky, South Dakota, and Washington. It is an honor and privilege to work with you all on this event, and it is the artists and builders who make the event so spectacular. We can't wait to see what you create in 2016! The spirit of David Mann lives on! - Tory DuVarney

Chopperfest Food And Blanket Drive

We would like to thank Dan Collins at Old Gold Garage Co.. for spearheading this Food and Blanket Drive.

"So it's time for me to do something different and I hope some of you will get on board to support me in this. I will have a booth as usual at the David Mann Chopperfest in Ventura this coming Sunday, but this year I won't be selling any seats or merch. Instead, I'm going to be taking donations of canned goods and new blankets for needy families. Anyone who makes a donation will get free "Broken Buzzard" stickers that retail for about $10 for the pair. Please throw a couple cans in your saddlebag or a blanket on your sissy bar and come down to the show. The promoter has even agreed to donate any unsold T-shirts from the event as well. Thanks so much in advance. Let's see if we can do something positive right now. And please please repost this to spread the word." - Dan

Sponsor highlight: The Speed Merchant

The Speed Merchant is a team of like-minded guys, Brandon Holstein, Dan Begakis, and Mark Kawakami, who each bring something different to the table.  The goal is to bring our sense of style and function to the motorcycle industry while keeping our manufacturing here in California.
