Our Story
Founded by The Iron Horse Hotel in 2011, BUILD is non-profit organization dedicated to pairing students and mentors in a collective effort to learn valuable life skills while restoring vintage motorcycles.
A team of dedicated volunteers and motorcycle enthusiasts offers local high school students the opportunity to learn vintage bike restoration while developing important business and interpersonal skills in the process. Students will learn valuable expertise, meet dedicated Mentors and, through a formal and very visible competition, be rewarded for their efforts with incentives given along the way and recognition through the display and racing of their bikes.
Teams from local high schools have been organized to design and rebuild a race bike to AMA Flat Track racing standards. Each team has been matched with at least one Faculty Advisor from their school and a pair of experienced Mentors who will act as coaches and team leaders, encouraging the students to plan, design and complete their build. Teams will be judged by regional experts on design, ex*****on and horsepower output on a chassis dynamometer.
Timeline:
A 100-day build is scheduled from January to May. Teams and Mentors will meet at least once per week for the duration of the build, most likely at the participating school under the supervision of their faculty advisor or at the Mentor’s shop.
