David Mann, active as an influential biker-artist from the 1960s through the early 2000s, left a lasting imprint on chopper aesthetics and the wider motorcycle community. The Chopper Fest life-archive concept brings together the David Mann Archives Show, all-brand antique and custom motorcycles, a multi-class bike show, swap meets, and vendor marketplaces. For fans, collectors, and riders, this is more than a show—it's a living museum and a celebration of the culture Mann helped define.
Upcoming dates include the 21st Annual Chopper Fest at the Ventura County Fairgrounds on February 9, 2025, the inaugural 1st Annual Chopper Fest in Kansas City on September 20, 2025 at West Bottoms, and the 22nd Annual Ventura edition planned for February 7, 2026.
