Born Free Motorcycle Show and Q&A with Marcus Ellis

Video: Q&A With Marcus Ellis - Terminal Speed - Born Free 12 Invited Builder

Born Free Motorcycle Show - Full Length Film

When motorcycle aficionados Mike Davis and Grant Peterson conceived their Born Free experience, they had no idea their little bike show would grow into the grandest and most eagerly anticipated celebration of custom motorcycle style and culture in the world. Born Free's location in Southern California - the heart of American motorcycle customizing - only intensifies this event's impact and allure.

"Born Free 4" gives a behind-the-scenes peek into the planning and craftwork required to bring hundreds of motorcycle-industry players, 3,000 show bikes and over 10,000 bike riders and rabid fans to the rolling hills and green pastures of SoCal's beautiful Santiago Canyon for a day of music and machinery among great friends.

Q&A With Marcus Ellis - Terminal Speed - Born Free 12 Invited Builder

Marcus Ellis of Terminal Speed owns a small motorcycle shop located in the heart of Downtown Cleveland, OH. This year he was asked to be one of the featured builders at the coveted Born Free 12. Marcus is a great friend of ours here at Lowbrow and we couldn't be more excited to see this build come to fruition and hit the "Big Stage". Sit back and learn more about Marcus and his history. Along with getting a first in depth look at all the tricks and shit he's got up his sleeve on how he's building this extraordinary 1952 Harley-Davidson Big Twin Pan/Shovelhead.
