Garage Build Motorcycle Show – Sturgis 2026 - Powered by Dennis Kirk
Sturgis isn’t where you explain your build.
It’s where you park it, step back, and let it speak.
During the 2026 Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, Dennis Kirk brings the Garage Build Motorcycle Show back to the Iron Horse Saloon—a show built specifically for riders who turn their own wrenches and build motorcycles because they want to, not because they’re paid to.
This is a garage-built show, staged at the biggest motorcycle rally in the world.
If you built it yourself, this is where it belongs.
*A Sturgis Show for Real Garage Builders*
The Garage Build Motorcycle Show exists to give space to builders who live in the real world:
*Bikes built after work*
Projects finished between family time
Mods done one decision, one paycheck at a time
This show is intended for amateur builders—riders who built their motorcycles for pride, satisfaction, and the ride itself. Professionally built show bikes have plenty of stages at Sturgis. This one is for the people who did the work themselves.
Mild or wild. Ground-up or heavily modified. Even a mostly stock bike that’s been shaped into something personal—if you built it, bring it.
