Arizona Motorcycle Events

Benson Biker Rodeo.
The 15th Annual Biker Rodeo sponsored by the Southern Arizona Harley Riders MC (SAHR), was held the 3rd weekend in October at the Arena Bar in Benson. What can I say, if you like bikes, bars, camping, bike games, music, food, poker runs and wet t-shirts, you should have been there. It's true that bikers don't need a reason to get out and ride and have some fun. But throw in a good cause, and that makes it all the sweeter. This year's rodeo was dedicated to the memory of lost SAHR sister Janee Thorn Lohse who passed on after a long, hard fought battle. Ride free Janee! Her parents, Leonard and Lavon, both SAHR members were on hand … see pictures and continue reading Benson Biker Rodeo.

Bisbee Bikes and Blues.
Bisbee is not only cooler in the summer; it is way cool all the time! This time it was the 5th annual Bisbee Blues Fest. Not only is Cochise County a great place to ride, it's a great place to party. And what a party it was. It was held at the Warren Ballpark in Bisbee to celebrate the park's 100th birthday. A huge stage was built around home plate, and the infield section was dancing, burnouts(more on that later), and lawn chairs. The tent section was just behind the infield, while all the vendors and motorcycle shops had their tents set up along the outfield fence. The bikes were allowed inside if you wanted to enter into the Bike Show, and there … see pictures and continue reading Bisbee Bikes and Blues.

Helldorado Days.
Tombstone has been celebrating Helldorado days since 1929. It's a weekend where town folk and tourists alike dress up in period costumes and pretend that it's 1880 again. After a couple of brews at some of our favorite watering holes, you wouldn't know the difference. There are gunfights in the street, shady ladies hanging out on the corners and motorcycles everywhere. Just keep in mind that guns, even toy guns, are not allowed in the saloons. On Sunday there was a major parade down Allen Street which included cowboys, cowgirls, cavalry, tractors, horses, and of course motorcycles. There was some very cool and interesting stuff … see pictures and continue reading Helldorado Days.

Rally In The Alley.
Sierra Vista Harley-Davidson goes all out every year to put on a great event in the "Alley" next to the shop. Plenty of vendors and food booths filled the spaces all the way around to the back of the building. They even had a Hog Wash dunk tank where several young ladies and Brian took a dip. There was also a trike race for trophies and prizes. Thanks to SV H-D's Brian, Tim, Michele, and crew. A special thanks to Nicole from the parts department for taking over the Hog Wash duties from Brian. No offense to Brian, but he doesn't look as good in a bikini. The Thunder Mountain HOG chapter put on a great Charity Poker Run. We hooked up with … see pictures and continue reading Rally In The Alley.
