Some bikers are content with the activities held locally by their own motorcycle club and nearby groups. However, some bikers want to check out other areas, ride down roads they're unfamiliar with, and talk to as many bikers as possible about the hobby. These bikers may wish to travel cross-country to one of the large motorcycle rallies. These rallies have a lot to offer bikers of all ages, although some of them are restricted to those age 21 and over. That's because these types of rallies feature adult entertainment, activities, and, of course, drinking.
Biker rallies feature many different activities, although of course activities can vary from rally to rally. You'll usually find some riders and competitions, some live entertainment, vendors, and motorcycle displays. If you're looking for new gear, some embroidered patches, or some parts for your bike, you'll find many vendors selling these items. You can also check out some of the latest motorcycle models, too, since manufacturers often take the time to bring their demo models to large rallies. Many local bands and entertainers perform at motorcycle rallies, and the bigger ones sometimes feature national names.
While some biker rallies are age restricted, others, such as the huge Daytona Beach rally or the Sturgis rally, aren't. Entire families can attend, and lately, they do. Bikers may ride their motorcycles to the rally while their families follow along, or they might bring their bikes on a trailer and just ride the last few miles to the rally itself. Either way, motorcycle rallies have changed a lot. They now last for several days, if not a week, and are huge multi-media events. If you've never been to one, you certainly should check out a motorcycle rally. You'll find motorcycles, gear, biker patches, entertainment, and much more.
