Motorcycle rally
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A motorcycle rally is a gathering of motorcycle enthusiasts. A rally can range from the mild corporate-sponsored Honda Hoot to the infamous Hollister riot.
Rallies can be large or small, and one-time or recurring. Notable annual rallies with attendance in the hundreds of thousands from all over the continent include the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, Laconia Motorcycle Week, and Daytona Beach Bike Week. There are innumerable smaller, regional rallies around the United States, including the annual BMW MOA international rally [1], the Oyster Run in the Pacific Northwest, the Golden Aspen Rally (formerly Aspencade[2]) in the Southwest, and Americade [3] in the Northeast.
Some rallies are ride-in events, whereas some like the Iron Butt rally involve days of riding and an actual gathering only at the end of the ride.
The longest established motorcycle rally in Europe is the Elefentantreffen (Elephant Rally) which was established by former Wermacht motorcyclists and named in honour of the Zündapp motorcycle that was nickednamed the green elephant.
