Folks that don't register in advance, don't get the free t-shirt for showing their bike and have to pay for admission at the gate! It's a RTR BIKE SHOW!!!! As motorcyclists, bikers, or whatever you want to call yourselves, our bikes are often our pride and joy. In many cases, We spend hours after hours, and often dollars after dollars making them our own personal ride. With all that time and effort, why not bring them out and showcase what you’ve done? To that end, we present the 2026 REASONS TO RIDE CHAMPIONSHIP BIKE SHOW SERIES!!! For over 15 years the RtR Bike Show Series has featured local, regional, and nationally recognized shows that welcome all builders and bike owners. Vintage, metric, v-twin, customs, restored antiques, “resto-mods”, trikes, and radicals – they are all welcome to the show. Each bike show is also a qualifier for our Championship Shows – both the State Show and the National Championship Shows. These shows are RIDE-IN shows, meaning that the bikes are expected to be ridden and a little bit of road dust is fine. We don’t split hairs over trailering in bikes, but we do require that all bikes must be functioning. They must start and be able to be safely ridden on the road. The shows feature voting by event attendees and weighted judges scores in order to select which bikes receive the awards. We use this approach to make certain we include the “people’s choice” as well as a professional eye – preventing it just being a popularity contest. Some shows, though, are Judged Shows – with the guest votes simply going towards the People’s Choice Awards. All Shows feature trophies and placards to recognize the bikes and winners, with special prizes being added in some shows in consideration of the location and hosts. The Best of Show Bikes and TOP Class Winners from the Bike Show Series are then invited to take part in the Championship Shows. This year’s shows will feature a broader range of classes, including SPORT BIKES, CRUISER, CUSTOM and RADICAL BAGGERS, GARAGE BUILDS, TRIKES, as well as VINTAGE, CUSTOM PAINT, and SOUND AWARD categories. 2026 Reasons To Ride Championship Bike Show Primary Classes ● Cruiser o Bobber o Chopper ● Touring / Bagger o Sport Touring ● Sport Bike ● Trike ● Adventure ● Off-Road ● Racing Within each of these Primary Classes, bikes may be further subdivided into: ▪ Stock ▪ Custom ▪ Radical SPECIALTY CLASSES o Age Specific: ▪ Vintage / Antique / Historical ▪ Survivor / Restored / Custom / Radical o Custom Paint o Engine – Design / Aesthetics o Engine Performance / Horsepower o Patriotic ▪ Military Tribute ▪ PRO BUILDER A class must have at least 3 entries in order to qualify for a BEST OF CLASS Award.
