Born Free 4

-
This is just the overflow of bikes that didn't make it early enough to be in the official show.
Who doesn't love a free motorcycle show where they raffle off a custom built Harley?

This was a great show and a great ride. Born Free has gotten bigger and bigger every year and doesn't seem to be slowing down. Born Free 3 was the first year I attended and I've gone back a few following years.

Overview:
Bike: BMW R1200GSA
Distance: 367mi
Time: Most of the day (Including time at the show)
Sights: Born Free!!!!!
