Kick Off the 2026 Riding Season at the Santa Fe Trail Vintage Motorcycle Show

The start of a new riding season always brings anticipation, and for us, it begins in Lawrence, Kansas, at the Santa Fe Trail Vintage Motorcycle Show.

On Sunday, February 1, 2026, the Santa Fe Trail Chapter of the Antique Motorcycle Club of America hosts another outstanding event celebrating vintage motorcycles and the people who keep their history alive. This year’s show features motorcycles from the 1940s, an era defined by innovation, hands-on engineering, and enduring design.

This show has become a meaningful early-season stop for us. It’s where we reconnect with longtime customers, meet new riders, and spend the day among people who value craftsmanship—whether that craftsmanship is found in a beautifully restored motorcycle or a well-made piece used every day.

As you walk the show floor, you’ll see motorcycles that helped shape riding culture, hear the stories behind them, and connect with members of the local biker community. The Santa Fe Trail team provides breakfast and lunch throughout the day, and the event T-shirt is always a popular keepsake.

At our booth, we’ll be stocked with ready-to-wear handcrafted headwear designed for riders and everyday wear. You’ll find do rags, hair bag do rags for long hair, headbands, head wraps, skull caps, welding caps, and military patrol caps, along with vintage-inspired styles like flat caps, fisherman caps, and boonies. These are pieces you can try on, choose from the rack, and take home the same day.

We’ll also be introducing something new at this show: laser-cut ceramic trivets, made in small batches and available in several designs. These 6-inch square trivets are a new direction for us, and this event will be their first in-person release. We’re looking forward to sharing them and seeing how they’re received.

Many of the photos shared here were taken at past Santa Fe Trail shows. They reflect what we value most about this event—real people, real bikes, and handmade goods used in real life.
