Not even sub-zero temperatures can put a damper on Milwaukee, Wisconsin’s, red-hot motorcycle scene. Ironically, one of the biggest events of the year for Brew City bikers—the annual Mama Tried invitational motorcycle show—happens during the dregs of February (click here to see the first Mama Tried Show).

Here are some highlights:
