Roland Sands Design and Indian Motorcycle featured motorcycle races throughout the day on their Super Hooligan flat track, and UNKNOWN Industries' team of riders entertained attendees with their freestyle Harley-Davidson riding and demos throughout the day. Motorcycle builders and enthusiasts from around the country showcased their custom bikes to the crowd and to editors of the world's top custom motorcycle magazinesHot Bike, Baggers and Street Chopper. Presented by Geico Motorcycle Insurance, the magazines hosted the motorcycle shows, with their editors judging the custom creations and awarding trophies and prizes.

True American craftsmanship was showcased through the collaborated works of Speakeasy Original and Red Beard Leather on custom handmade championship belts for the winners of the three 'Best of Show' bike show categories. Johnny Klein, with his 2003 FXDX Dyna built by Chip from San Diego Customs and painted by Pete "Hot Dog" Finlan, earned the Hot Bike Best of Show championship belt. Bill from Scode City Cycles, with his Pan/Shovel Chopper, took the Street Chopper Best of Show. Ivan Sauceda, with a 2015 Street Glide built by Jimmy Todd from Top Line Tubes, painted by Buck Wild Brand, won the Baggers Best of Show championship belt. Additionally, each was awarded $500 from Geico Motorcycle.

Simpson Motorcycle Helmets partnered with House Of Kolor to have custom painter Taylor Schultz host and curate a helmet art show. Taylor Schultz invited seven of the country's most talented artists to paint helmets for the show. Artists included Andrew Babish, James Dean, Stephen Gibson, Tanner Leaser, Phil Leonard, Andrew Meeh and Mike Weigate. Their works were on display for attendees of Lost Highway to check out and will be auctioned online in coming weeks, raising money for the Infinite Hero Foundation.

"Even in 108 degree temperatures, which was the hottest weekend in the last few years, we had an attendance of 20,000 fans at the 2016 Lost Highway festival at the San Manuel Amphitheater Festival Grounds in San Bernardino, CA," says SGE's John Reese. "Thanks to all the bands (including Brantley Gilbert, Social Distortion, Justin Moore and many more), the vendors, and the various attractions including the Hooligan Flat Track Race and the Unknown Harley Stunt Show for making Lost Highway an epic event. See you in 2017."
