Reasons To Ride joins in to host the 2025 Mid-Ohio Shriner Bike Show in downtown Mansfield Ohio. This is a great event that showcases vintage and custom bikes - all makes, models, and years welcome!
Proceeds benefit the Mid-Ohio Shrine Club and the charities they support!
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 REASONS TO RIDE CHAMPIONSHIP BIKE SHOW SERIES!!!
CUSTOM AND VINTAGE BIKES - ALL MAKES, MODELS, AND YEARS WELCOME!
The RtR Bike Show Series features local, regional, and nationally recognized shows that all builders and bike owners are encouraged to participate in. 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.
The vast majority of 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.
Most of the shows include voting by event attendees and weighted judges scores. 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 BEST IN 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 CUSTOM and RADICAL BAGGERS, GARAGE BUILDS, TRIKES, as well as VINTAGE, CUSTOM PAINT, and IMPORT categories. All will compete on the by the water, as the show is being held once more downtown on Sunday, For more information and to register, visit ReasonsToRide.com
CUSTOM PAINT!
All shows this year include a CUSTOM PAINT class for bikes to be considered under. Yo(u can enter your bike in just this category – or you can add it as a second classification. There is a discounted fee for adding the second category.
AUDIO!
RtR Audio Awards are based upon an informal challenge contest, with judges deciding based upon crowd support. This is NOT a loudest (or most expensive system) contest - it's about overall sound as judged by the crowd. Contestants play their own music for :30-:45 each round, with the winner each round going on. Based upon the number of entries in the Audio Competition, multiple rounds may be offered. These are OPEN challenges, and all are welcome to compete.
