Combat Hero Bike Build
Giving the Freedom of the Road to our
Wounded Veterans & First Responders
2026 AMERICAN HERO HONOR RIDES...RIDE WITH US!
Combat Hero Bike Build (CHBB) has been honored to provide awesome bikes to worthy combat hero recipients since 2014. The experience has been rewarding to everyone involved - the coordinators, builders, recipients, donors, and supporters, as well as the public. Our goal is to enhance the motorcycle experience for our heroes and supporters through “AMERICAN HERO HONOR RIDES”, with one ride located along a southwest route and one ride located along a southeast route.
The Rides:
-
Raise awareness of the sacrifices made by our military and first responders.
-
Foster a supportive “family” culture through camaraderie, fun, and community-building.
-
Provide opportunities for injured heroes to connect with others facing similar challenges.
-
Facilitate building and maintaining a supportive group that everyone can look forward to year after year with the goal of building community support along the routes.​
CHBB will not only gift customized motorcycles to our American Heroes, but will also create events for these heroes to participate on the routes, connect with old and new friends, and be a great support organization for everyone involved.

Honoring Those Who Serve: Since 2014 Combat Hero Bike Build (CHBB) has been honored to provide custom motorcycles to our nation’s most deserving combat veterans and first responders. What started as a bike build has grown into a powerful movement, rewarding everyone involved—the coordinators, builders, donors, and the public—with the pride of giving back.
The Next Chapter: AMERICAN HERO HONOR RIDES We are expanding our mission to bridge the gap between gratitude and action. By establishing the "American Hero Honor Rides" - with dedicated routes across the Southwest and Southeast - we are creating a mobile community designed to support those who have sacrificed the most.
​
Our Mission on the Road:
-
Honor Sacrifice: Raising public awareness for the service of our military and first responders.
-
Build Camaraderie: Fostering a supportive "family" culture through the unique bond of the open road.
-
Create Connections: Providing injured heroes the opportunity to ride and find strength alongside others facing similar challenges.
-
Strengthen Communities: Establishing a lasting tradition of support that towns along our routes can look forward to year after year.
CHBB is no longer just about the gift of a motorcycle; it’s about the journey that follows. We are building a support organization where our American Heroes can reconnect, ride, and remain part of a family that never leaves a member behind.
