Motorcycle events are always a good excuse to go out riding, hang out and meet new biker brothers. There are people who drive thousands of kilometers on their motorcycles to get to one of these events, and there are even people who do not have motorcycles and like to attend since the party and good vibes make for an incredible day.




We share with you a list of the biggest motorcycle events that take place around the world.


Motorcycle events in the world

Sturgis Motorcycle Rally

It takes place every year in Sturgis (United States), and more than half a million bikers attend, although the approximate number is always uncertain. This event, the largest in the world, was organized for the first time in 1938; thanks to JC Hoel .


For 10 days, this small South Dakota town of about 6,000 people is packed. Hundreds of Harley-Davidsons , stunt riders, bikers of all kinds, rockers, celebrities and much more stroll through its streets .


This concentration is held every year for 10 days starting on the first Friday of August.


Laconia Motorcycle Week

Laconia Motorcycle Week is celebrated on the famous Weirs Beach, on the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee. In addition to demonstrations and all kinds of events there is an important poker championship. It has been held since 1916 and the American Motorcycle Association included it, since the 30s, in its Gipsy Tour in 1923.


The current duration is 9 days. As a curiosity, it can be noted that the use of a helmet is not required, which translates into some death every year.


Thundersprint

Held each year during the second weekend in May, the main event of this concentration is classic motorcycle races that attract celebrities from the world of racing motorcycling including six-time world champion Jim Redman, 15-time world champion Giacomo Agostini, Sammy Miller and a host of modern stars.


The races, until 2013, were held in a parking lot in the center of Northwich (England) but the space had been running out for years and, since 2014, it has been run at the Darley Moor circuit.


Each year attracts more than 150,000 participants and has a marked family character (although there is no lack of beer, parties and everything representative of this type of event)


Penguins

It is an annual meeting of motorcycle lovers from around the world, which has been held since 1982, the second weekend of January, for four days in the province of Valladolid, autonomous community of Castilla y León, Spain.


It is one of the most important winter motorcycle rallies in the world, with an attendance of more than 35,000 motorcyclists from all corners of Europe and even from other continents, which is organized by the Club Turismoto.

It is a meeting with the aim of camping on Saturday next to a mountain refuge in the Italian Alps and climbing on Sunday to the highest accessible point, the Col du Someiller at 3,009 meters.


The Stella Alpina has been celebrated for 50 years. This concentration became a simple meeting of friends, the largest and most important in all of Europe at the trail level.
