Rallies & Events

More than 250 motorcycle riders are now making their way back to their homes across the U.S. and Canada after riding the final leg of the largest womens motorcycle journey of 2016.

BMW Motorrad USA will be the title sponsor of the Sisters Centennial Motorcycle Ride, a cross-country motorcycle adventure for women we first told you about last October.

It just might be the biggest motorcycle rally of the year as Daytona Bike Week celebrates its 75th anniversary March 3–14, 2016.

North Carolina’s Blue Ridge Mountains will lend its twisting roads and scenic vistas to a womens motorcycling conference this May.

Daytonas annual fall rally, Biketoberfest, gives motorcyclists a chance to extend the summer rally season by being held in October, when Florida starts to experience its best temperatures. Cooler weather and less crowds than Marchs Bike Week, Sturgis and Laconia rallies, are big draws for riders to head to Biketoberfest.

Choosing steel and torches over ribbons, Harley-Davidson “ignited” its presence for the grand opening of the new Harley-Davidson Rally Point and the official kick-off to the 75th Sturgis Motorcycle Rally.

This year the inaugural Women’s Sportbike Rally West took place on the cusp of summer in Big Bear, California. With more than 30 female sportbike riders in attendance, some coming from as far as Utah and Ohio, this event catered to the women who love twisty roads and nimble bikes, but can’t make it to Deals Gap in North Carolina for the Women’s Sportbike Rally East, now in its tenth year.

From 1997 to 2003 I worked as a reporter for the Speedvision cable network, which evolved into Speed Channel, which eventually evolved into Fox Sports in 2013. Part of my job was traveling around the country covering motorcycle events. Check out this news segment I did covering the second annual Arizona Bike Week that aired on February 23, 1998.
