Tens of thousands of bikes and two-wheel fanatics will converge on the 102-acre Carlisle PA Fairgrounds for non-stop entertainment, an unbeatable motorcycle shopping experience, breathtaking and historic local rides, giveaways all weekend long and the chance to ride the latest models from manufacturers. The ride to the Carlisle PA Fairgrounds, located less than 200 miles from five metropolitan areas throughout the East Coast, is almost as much fun as the event itself. No matter which direction you come from, there is a tour ride that will be loaded with plenty to see in the way of scenic mountains, farms, orchards and battlefields. When you arrive in Carlisle, that’s when the real excitement hits you: the number and variety of bikes (V-twins, choppers, sport and metric bikes), the hundreds of vendors, a manufacturers midway filled with top names in new parts and accessory dealers, bands on stage all weekend, stunt shows and every component a major motorcycle event could possibly offer, all in one place! Limited vending space still available.
