Hello this is Goshu from MOON GARAGE. This time we went to trip on 4 of us! The member were Map Matsura from sales dept, Sumiya from Merchandise development and Steve from MOON Internet Service. This time we will have report from each of us.! Once we reached MOONEYES USA in California we headed to BORN FREE4. The location of BORN FREE 4 was same as the last year, in OAK CANYON RANCH in Pomona. From this year, set up can be done Friday, So people showed up after setting up vender booth and joined DicE Party to see the "6 Over" by DicE Magazine. "LOSER MACHINE COMPANY" had nice set up, we saw Adrian Lopez and Chris Broders who came to join us at Yokohama Hot Rod Custom Show last year and Was way cool to hear that they will join us again at Yokohama Hot Rod Custom Show! Thanks to Adrian for the drinks and foods from BBQ set up on site. Aaron from Salinas was dropping off his new bike. Shovel chopper with Paint jobs done by Japanese painter who travelled to US before the show. Twin engine dragster. HD with Full- cowl was also getting a lot of attention.

This pre party was for DicE Magazines Release party for DVD called “6 Over”, with projector and screen, just needed the sun to go down to see. The DVD was about 1 hour and Love Cycle, 4Q and more bike builders were on interview at their shop and garage. To ride bike and build bike that was most of the subject and I think it was cool to watch and interesting stories for builder and rider for the both side.

It felt quick when DVD finished we head back to hotel after saying good bye to everyone.

he show day morning was busy with all venders were setting up for the show. This year vender space was extended to entry parking lot. The number of bike and people were definitely more than last year and some talk of 15,000 bikes were there in parking. I saw many builders inside the show.
