Born-Free 6
What a fantastic event! Mike , Grant and their staff went above and beyond this year, and it was smooth sailing. Our booth was non-stop from the time the gates opened to close both days. It was great to finally meet long time members and new followers. Hopefully, our new followers will take the time to sign up and become members.
I don't have a voice today which is actually the biggest blessing of the event. You see, Born -Free has VERY limited cell phone reception so everyone's phones stayed in their pockets and they were enjoying the event vs. staring at their small ass screen all day. There were actual conversations taking place and laughter in the air.
We will be featuring a lot of different articles from the show as ChopCult contributors Mikey Revolt Jason Ochoa, Bear Haughton and Jessie Stopnik were all on location. I would like to thank each of them for their time and endless devotion to the site. My job would be a little tougher as it's VERY hard to cover a show like Born-Free and work the booth at the same time.
Big thanks to Zack Boxx of Throttle Addiction for creating the Art and Fuel Exhibit. It was a hit with the crowd, and I hope it becomes another wonderful addition to Born-Free
Born-Free has opened the doors for us and the next generation, and for this I thank you! I will be sharing my photos here, and on Facebook and Instagram.
Until we meet again, safe travels and #enjoytheride!

One More Mile - July 12, 2014 - San Jose, California
Motorcycle Photos From The Road by Lee Bender, Ken Nagahara, Holly Anderson, Jon Humphries, Andrew Hutchison, Josie Perez-Ramondetta, and Keynan Tait
ONE MORE MILE
The contextual ever present feeling to never stop moving. Every second counts. You may never know what goes on beyond us, ripping thru freeway-caged traffic, steaming over your glass ceiling job you're commuting to or from. You live and we exist among you. The photographs in One More Mile represent an underground subculture not welcoming of most others and rarely seen at this level. To see these images is as close as most will get to be a part of this life we've carved out and call our own.
Privileged to say the least. Knowing all too well how fast time slips thru these fingers, a few of us have chosen to document the happenings about us. Most every weekend we are out there shooting whatever it may be that's in front of us. From building an old Harley drag bike to jumping two-lane roads or simply sitting in oil stained work shop. We've laid in the gutters and stood on our seats riding backroads all around the country to get these shots. We are 110% committed, we are one. -Lee Bender
