ALEXANDRIA — The 14th annual Freedom First Riders 2022 Bike Show brought in a steady stream of motorcycle enthusiasts to the Runestone Community Center on May 21-22.
The event is a fundraiser for the local chapter of American Bikers for Awareness, Training and Education, known as ABATE.
The open-to-the-public show featured 11 bike classes, such as street performance, custom, stock and more. Awards were presented to the first, second and third place bikes. Other awards included fans' choice, committee's choice, veterans' best paint, fallen members and best of show.
Several fun contests were also offered — Eagle 3063 loudest bike, tattoo and beard contests, and more.
Several prize drawings took place while 57 Chevy provided music.
