The ultimate kickoff...boonie bike races and moto-fueled fun.
The Mama Tried Motorcycle Show is an exclusive indoor invitational custom bike show celebrating the spirit of creativity and craftsmanship. Held at The Rave / Eagles Club in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the show spotlights honest, homebuilt, and one-of-a-kind motorcycles that push the boundaries of design and imagination.
Come for the pre-party and stay to enjoy the creativity and craftsmanship of one‑of‑a‑kind, homebuilt custom bikes. We’re already looking ahead to next year, with full 2027 event details coming out closer to the holidays and a few months before Mama Tried.
Make the most of your trip. Here’s what else is going down while you’re here:
Kick off Mama Tried Show weekend at the official pre-party on Thursday on the H-D Museum! Meet Flat Out Friday racers and Mama Tried builders, cheer on the boonie bike races, and enjoy DJs, raffles, outdoor fire pits, and MOTOR Bar & Restaurant specials.
Don’t miss Flat Out Friday, the largest indoor flat track motorcycle race in the U.S.A. Held on a concrete track coated in sticky Dr. Pepper syrup, this one-of-a-kind event blends motorcycle racing with live entertainment. From pro and amateur riders to kids tearing it up, the action spans every class.
Saturday kicks off the Mama Tried Motorcycle Show. The H-D Museum offers free shuttles to The Rave/Eagles Club from 10 a.m. – 6 p.m., making it easy to experience this iconic event. Explore over 100 custom and vintage motorcycles from world-class builders, connect with fellow enthusiasts, browse vendors selling parts and gear, and celebrate the culture, community, and craftsmanship that define the motorcycle world.
Sunday marks the final day of the Mama Tried Motorcycle Show! While shuttles won’t be running, cap off your weekend by exploring the Harley-Davidson Museum and experiencing the legacy, bikes, and stories that make it a must-see destination.
