Go Hog Wild at the Mama Tried Motorcycle Showcase, Race and Parties

Go deep into motorcycle culture with Mama Tried, a sprawling show of custom and collectible bikes named for a Merle Haggard song.

The weekend kicks off on Feb. 23 at Fiserv Forum with Flat Out Friday, the “world’s largest indoor flat track race” on a surface coated with Dr Pepper syrup. (It adds traction, like a sticky movie theater floor.)

This year marks the 10th anniversary of the homegrown show, which runs Feb. 24-25 at the Eagles Ballroom.

“People come into town from all over the world to spend the whole week doing motorcycle-related parties and stuff like that,” says co-founder Scott Johnson (right), pictured at the Eagles Ballroom with partners Jeremy Prach (left) and Warren Heir Jr. mamatriedshow.com
