Motorcycle Events in the United States

What counts as a motorcycle event

Most of what is listed here falls into a handful of shapes. A rally runs over a weekend or a week, with vendors, music and organised rides — Daytona and Sturgis are the famous ones, but most states have two or three of their own. A poker run is a day ride between five stops where you draw a card at each, usually for a charity. A bike night is a few hours at a bar, dealership or diner, often weekly through the summer. A swap meet is parts and project bikes changing hands, and the vintage ones draw people from several states. Toy runs and memorial rides fill the autumn calendar almost everywhere.

Dates move, and small rides get cancelled. Every listing here shows where it came from, and each page has an “is this your event?” box so the organiser can correct it — which is the only way a calendar this size stays right. If you run an event and it is not here, add it and it will be live once it has been checked.
