Lately, traditional bike shows with classes and trophies have been eclipsed by invitationals. But going old school has its benefits. Like what? Like COLD CASH, that’s what!
And that’s exactly what’s up for grabs at the 7th annual Buffalo Chip School’s Out Chopper Show on Saturday, Aug. 3. The first campers to pass through the Buffalo Chip gate in 1981 rode in on choppers, so it’s only fitting that the Custom Series includes a show for these classic, raked-out rides.
And thanks to show partners, Motorcycle Safety Lawyers, Paughco, Kirsh Helmets, Choppers Magazine, Chop Docs, Twisted Tea, Metalwood Garage, and Bikerpics, this show and shine will give you the chance to meet some of the biggest stars in chopper building and win cash to get you going on your next chopper build.
Winners get trophies, too: epic one-off metal art trophies made by Dana Tilling at Metalwood Garage. They’re definitely trophies worth showing off!
And along with the classes from prior years, we’re adding a new one in 2024: the Mini Chop Class with $500 cash for first place and a Kirsh helmet for second place – plus awesome Metalwood Garage trophies. So Mini Bike Fans, roll in that mini chopper to take its place with the big boys and girls.

This is your chance to show your stuff live and in person at the greatest motorcycle rally in the world. Dennis Kirk, with the support of the Sturgis Iron Horse Saloon and Cycle Source Magazine are hosting the 7th Annual Garage Build Motorcycle Show.
This show is for amateur builders only. Yes, we like pro-built bikes as much as anyone else but they have many other shows that they can participate in to display their skills. No professionally built motorcycles will be allowed in the show.
This show is for you, the person who didn’t build it to make money but rather for the fun and self-satisfaction of being able to say…I did it myself and I’m really proud of it!
It doesn’t matter if it is mild or wild, as long as you did it yourself. If you built a ground-up custom in your garage, we want to see it. If you heavily modified a stock motorcycle we want to see your bike too. In fact, even if you just bolted on some cool stuff and tweaked your basic stock ride to make it your own come on over to the Iron Horse Saloon and show it off. V-Twins, Metrics, Trikes, Cafes, Rats, or any other cool rides are encouraged to participate.
What do you get for being in the Garage Build Show? First and foremost the opportunity to show off your pride and joy! In addition, you will also get a free swag bag full of goodies, a chance at trophies and gift cards. There is no entry fee whatsoever. All you have to do is show up and you’re in the show.
Can’t make the show in person? The show will be broadcast live on the Garage Build Facebook page as well as the Facebook pages of the Iron Horse Saloon, Cycle Source, and Dennis Kirk.

Meet the Brains Behind the Show:
Tyler and Amity are just a Midwest couple who not only fell in love with each other but also with the excitement and adventure of a two-wheeled machine. Tyler’s passion started at a young age tinkering on cars and motorcycles. Amity’s came much later after going to many motorcycle events with Tyler. Tyler realized he wanted to immerse himself in the industry after a soul-searching Ride 1k in a Day motorcycle trip. Amity realized it shortly thereafter when they were on a motorcycle trip near Lake Tahoe, and Tyler was receiving many compliments on original parts on his bike. Both bring many years of machining, fabrication, and business experience to the table. Tyler has spent his whole life working with his hands in garages and homes. Amity has spent her career in sales, finance, and business consulting, and has had her fair share of time spent with Tyler wrenching in the garage.
Timmy is, well, Timmy. He quickly became acquainted with motorcycles at the age of 17 when he wanted to ride a motorcycle to Sturgis with his brother Tyler. Tyler told him to ride his motorcycle, a Honda CM400, every day for well over 6 months before that trip, and then he would feel confident riding with him. Timmy rode that motorcycle every day and ended up riding to Sturgis that year for the first time. The following year, Timmy graduated from high school, and Tyler convinced their dad to buy Timmy a box of Sportster parts for graduation. After graduation, Timmy and Tyler spent the summer getting that Sportster ready for Timmy to ride to Sturgis that year—which he did. Since then, Timmy has spent his time traveling to motorcycle events, welding and building various motorcycles. Most know him for the very eccentric things he has created on his motorcycles over the years.
