For many years, in the US, likeminded people 
have gathered together in order to celebrate 
their favorite sport or activity. As early as 1825, 
fur trappers and mountain men came together 
in a pre-designated spot in the American West 
for an event called The Rendezvous. These fur 
trappers and mountain men would stay together 
for a week or more, trading their goods, drinking 
and participating in all kinds of contests.
Into The Future
Much like those mountain men of yesteryear, 
motorcyclists from all over the world come together 
once a year at an event simply called “Sturgis.” It is 
named for the small town in which it takes place: 
Sturgis, South Dakota. This larger than life motorcycle 
rally has been taking place every August since 1938.
Sturgis is probably the biggest motorcycle rally in the 
world. Every year more than 500,000 motorcyclists 
are welcomed with open arms as they converge on 
this little town of less than 7000 residents. And no 
wonder. The small town’s main street becomes a large 
parking lot for all the motorcycles, their riders in town 
for a week of partying, games and sightseeing. The 
town of Sturgis rakes in an estimated $800 million 
dollars yearly.
Not So Much a Festival
• Now, while Sturgis is definitely number one on everybody’s list. 
This next event actually came in at number five, but I feel that I 
should mention it now being as it just took place this past 
Memorial Day weekend in Washington DC.
• The event is called Rolling Thunder. It is not so much a party as 
the others. This rally is dedicated to veterans of the Vietnam war. 
Founded by Ray Manzo, a former Marine, the members of Rolling 
Thunder felt strongly that American Servicemen had been 
abandoned as prisoners of war at the end of the Vietnam conflict. 
Today, thousands of former military personnel gather at our 
nation’s capital on Memorial Day to honor their fallen brethren.
Next Up!
• Number two on the list just has to be Daytona Bike Week. This 
event started in 1937 as a motorcycle race along a sand and 
road course. The American Motorcycle Association was forced 
to cancel the race in 1942 because of the war in Europe and 
Japan.
• Even though the race was cancelled, motorcyclists continued 
to show up for a party that eventually morphed into The 
Daytona Bike Week of today. The event attracts about 500,000 
bikers every year for a party lasting ten days.  It has even 
hosted some weddings over the years.
The Oldest of the Motorcycle Weeks
• Number three on our list takes place in a small New 
Hampshire town. Overall it is a bit smaller in size than 
Sturgis and Daytona. But Laconia Motorcycle Week is the 
oldest motorcycle rally in the United States.
• The fact that it is along Lake Winnipesaukee with its 
scenic views is probably enough to attract most bikers. 
But this rally offers many unique events such as the 
largest beer belly contest.
And if that isn’t entertainment enough, there 
are plenty of motorcycle races and scenic 
roads to ride your motorcycle along. The ride 
along the Mount Washington Auto Road up 
to a peak of 6,288 feet is a very popular event 
at Laconia.
Republic of Texas Biker Rally
Last but certainly not least is the ROT Biker Rally. 
Although the youngest of the rallies, only being around 
for the last 18 years. This event is so big that the city of 
Austin, Texas closes off 50 blocks downtown for a 
massive parade and party that take place the second 
weekend in June. Not just really cool motorcycles are 
attracted to this event, many famous musicians have 
made the scene at the ROT over the years.
Suit Up and Get Out There Already
• I’m sure that you are just “itching” to get out to at 
least one of these events this year. And this is only a 
short list of motorcycle rallies across the nation.
• And if you are considering attending Daytona or 
another warm weather event like Myrtle Beach Bike 
Week, you might want to head on over to 
Wicked Stock and check out the Mesh biker jackets, or 
perhaps a 4 Season Motorcycle Jacket to keep you 
comfortable and safe on your trip.
• For the cooler weather excursions, perhaps 
Leather motorcycle jackets or 
Men leather motorcycle pants may be on your radar.
