Built by hand. Brought together by the road.
Harley riders, independent builders, vintage-bike owners, and riders of other makes belong in the story. A proposed showcase treats motorcycles as working machines, design objects, and personal expressions.
Ask about bikes and builder participationWho it’s for
Harley and other motorcycle riders, touring and riding clubs, custom builders, fabricators, painters, restorers, and visitors interested in craftsmanship.
A parked custom and vintage motorcycle display with builder conversations, restoration stories, pinstriping or tank-art demonstrations, and motorcycle photography is proposed. Demonstrations require artist agreements and material-safety checks.
Independent artists and builders could exhibit alongside the wider arts program, with separate selection, compensation, and image-use agreements.
United Bikers of Maine and the Harley Owners Group chapter network are outreach resources, not participating organizers. All makes are part of the concept; no brand sponsorship or club endorsement is claimed.
What must happen first
These checks remain outstanding:
- Exhibitor and artist agreements, image rights and clear terms
- Static display safety, fuel controls and weather protection
- Arrival plans, secure parking, noise management and insurance
A few useful answers.
Do I need a Harley or a custom-built motorcycle?
No such eligibility restriction is established. Harley riders and riders of other makes are explicitly included in the proposed program.
Are test rides, stunts, or motorcycle races included?
No. Dealer test rides and any closed-course motor competition would require a separate insured operator and approvals. Burnouts, street racing, and stunt programming are not offered.
