Getting ready for the 2026 Sonora Pass Chopper Show! See you all 14-15 August at Kennedy Meadows. Pack ride from the clubhouse Friday afternoon. More details in bio
Here it is! Save the date: August 14-15 2026. We're changing it up a little, however the theme remains the same. Pack ride from the clubhouse up to @kennedymeadowspackstation Friday evening. Show will be high noon on Saturday. Camping will be up in the grove of trees just past the meadow. You will still have to ride your motorcycle. Everyone is still invited, and yes, it's still totally free. More details to follow, but hit us up with any and all questions! Thanks and see y'all this summer! #deathtrapsmc #sonorapasschoppershow #kennedymeadows
Dirty Mike in Mexico on the El Diablo Run in 2011. We've been lucky enough to get to several of these runs, starting way back in 2007. Rumor has it, 2026 will be the last one. #deathtrapsmc #eldiablorun #edr #biltwell not sure who took this photo...
Fourth year on the roster @bornfreeshow . Honored to be included amongst the best builders in the world — but this one’s personal.
I’ve spent the last decade building and riding with the @deathtrapsmc — the dudes who wrote the book on what a real chopper club should be.
Bike’s that are narrow. Fast. Mean. Built to ride.
A lot of people have tried to copy the DTMC style and our lifestyle…
but there is only one Deathtraps MC.
Loud. Proud. Choppers only.
We’ve ridden to Born Free as a club since its inception. Blown engine cases and every road side fix imaginable. The stories we could tell would blow your minds. It’s always been about the ride for us. So in honor of the greatest chopper club in the world. This year, from Nevada to Sonora to SoCal, this bike’s getting ridden, not hauled.
When the show’s over, it becomes my daily — my club bike.
Show and go. No trailer queens. No expensive paperweights.
Just grit, gasoline, and smiles for miles. A bike true to our roots that can rip the eastern sierra mountains and is fast enough to leave your Dyna in the dust. Performance and style. This is the way.
See you on the grass.

We've never been so prepared! 2026 Sonora Pass Chopper Show date is set for the weekend of 14-16 August 2026, Kennedy Meadows. Pack ride, Saturday show, free camping, let's go! #deathtrapsmc #sonorapasschoppershow #kennedymeadows
In a race to become the craziest show around, we decided to go backwards and just have a party in a meadow. I think we pulled it off.
We wanted to have a chopper show to help celebrate 18 years as a club. But what ended up happening was we had a reunion. A reunion with all our old friends (and some new ones), with all the good stories, and all the best choppers.
Thanks again to everyone who came out to support this, and us, and that idea of riding your chopper into the mountains, and getting lost. #deathtrapsmc #sonorapasschoppershow #kennedymeadows #sonorapass
