Flying Piston Benefit

We had the opportunity to attend the Flying Piston Benefit: Builders Breakfast last year 2021 during Daytona Bike Week!! We honestly didn't know much about Flying Piston, their story, their mission, their purpose... however after attending the event and meeting more amazing individuals in our Moto-community we learned about All Kids Bike. (Another amazing organization doing good in our communities - blog about it soon)


Why are we showcasing the event? Raising 5 kids and witnessing firsthand how our motorcycle community can come together to raise money and help others is something that is dear to our hearts! This is an event that everyone can get behind especially when we are teaching our younger generation important skills including balance & the LOVE of 2 wheels!

As soon as tickets were available for the 2022's Flying Piston Benefits: Builders Breakfast; we jumped on the wagon and purchased our tickets! I wanted to share a little bit about the event and events throughout the entire year. I spoke with Marilyn Stemp this morning and she shared the following.... sums it all up way better than I can!!



The following is taken from Flying Piston Benefit press release & website. Be sure to stay up to date with news & announcements on their social media pages too!

Custom builders, industry celebs and riders in the know will be at Bruce Rossmeyer’s Daytona Harley-Davidson on Sunday morning, March 6, 2022, for the Flying Piston Benefit Builders Breakfast. For the second year in a row, this stellar meet & greet brings the motorcycle industry together to kick off Daytona Bike Week and support new rider initiatives.


2nd Annual Flying Piston Builders Breakfast Rolls into Bruce Rossmeyer’s

Daytona Harley-Davidson for Daytona Bike Week

IRONe Customs Will be Unveiled and Auctioned. Let’s get kids riding bikes!


The signature feature of the Breakfast is the IRONe16 Build-Off presented by STACYC showcasing five professionally customized IRONe electric bikes, which will be unveiled and auctioned that morning.


“This Flying Piston Breakfast revives the builder breakfast events of the mid-2000’s when Bruce Rossmeyer himself welcomed us to gather the riding community in support of local charities,” said Marilyn Stemp, co-founder of Flying Piston Benefit. “We’re delighted that Shelly and Mandy Rossmeyer are carrying on the tradition, making a place for riders to meet legacy and emerging custom builders and to support the motorcycle community.”


The 2022 class of IRONe pro builders includes: Cory Ness of Arlen Ness Enterprises, Steve Lacona of Lacona Customs, Gina Woods of Open Road Radio, Brian Schaffran of Skidmark Garage and NASCAR legend Rusty Wallace with his son Steven Wallace of Southern Country Customs. Each builder will customize Harley-Davidson’s top-of-the-line model: the IRONe 16 Brushless, the extended range lithium ion battery-powered electric balance bike.


“The first step to a motorcycle license is learning how to ride a bicycle,” said Mandy Rossmeyer, Director of Marketing & Events at Bruce Rossmeyer’s H-D. “We are excited to again bring the Flying Piston Builder’s Breakfast to Bruce Rossmeyer’s Daytona Harley-Davidson at Destination Daytona and proud to support motorcycling in our local community by enabling an All Kids Bike training program at Ormond Beach Elementary School.”


Added STACYC’s Matt Schumann, “The team at STACYC are always excited to grow the next generation of riders. Supporting programs like the Flying Piston Builders Breakfast and the Rossmeyers are great ways to share the love of riding. We can’t wait to see the creativity these builders share.”


In the spirit of such events held at Bruce Rossmeyer’s over a decade ago, dozens of world-class custom builders have been invited to attend for the meet & greet. Names will be released as invitations are accepted. Along with the unveiling of the five custom IRONe bikes and a hearty breakfast, attendees can bid on original artwork and other gearhead items. Can’t attend? Bidding will be available in North America via the digital auction app QTEGO.

The Builder Breakfast will be held at the Pavilion on the grounds of Bruce Rossmeyer’s Daytona Harley-Davidson at Destination Daytona in Ormond Beach, FL. Only those holding tickets will enjoy exclusive entry to the Destination Daytona Pavilion, access to the builder community and, of course, breakfast. Parking is free and tickets are available in advance for $20 ($25 at the door) at shop.brucerossmeyer.com. https://shop.brucerossmeyer.com/collections/charity-events/products/flying-piston-benefit-builders-breakfast-charity-auction
