OCC Road House & Museum was hopping in May for the Invitational Bike Show, brought to you by OCC Road House, Bert’s Barracuda Harley-Davidson, Fran Haasch Law Group, Budweiser, and Visit St. Pete-Clearwater. This was an amazing display of artistic talent! Friends of ours from Massachusetts, Picozzi’s Custom Paint, took home three trophies!

The event started on Friday with the vendor and builders’ load-in, and TL Jentgens brought his amazing talent on the drums and singing to the stage. Saturday, the builders’ bikes were displayed inside Bert’s Barracuda Harley-Davidson. There was a ride-in bike show hosted by Fran Haasch Law Group, and some of the winners’ photos are featured here. Then, some of the winners of the Invitational were presented with their awards on stage while Scream Machine entertained the packed pavilion.

Sunday started with the Sunshine Skyway Ride led by Paul Sr. Bert said it was a record number taking the ride on a beautiful, sunny day. The afternoon included more trophies for the builders and the great music of Shovelhed!

If you haven’t visited OCC Road House & Museum or Bert’s Barracuda H-D, it is an impressive venue, to say the least. The food is awesome, and the staff is always willing to please!

Mark your calendars for the 2027 Invitational Bike Show, May 21–23. Plus, coming in November is St. Pete BikeFest, the weekend of November 19–22! Saddle up, mark your calendars, and we can’t wait to see you all there!
