Looking for something WILD and CRAZY to do this weekend? Then head on up to Gettysburg Bike Week 2019 in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania and meet thousands of your fellow bikers, compete in crazy motorcycle events, browse swap meets, see bike shows, try demo rides and watch headliner concerts with fireworks! So much to see, so much to do, it’s a WILD one in the summer sun!
Every Friday* I put up something interesting, inspiring and or just plain cool to get you, as a biker, to get out there, talk about it or get interested in motorcycling and our way of life. I hope you enjoy this week’s Rider Inspiration Story! (*if something exciting is happening)
Entertainment Is Top Notch and the Crew is Ready to Rock
Gettysburg Bike Week 2019, they are gearing up for the best bike week yet! Back for its 18th rally, the Allstar Events Complex will once again host the best bike event Gettysburg has ever seen. The kick off party starts on Wednesday July 9th at Battlefield Harley-Davidson and continues through the weekend at the Allstar Event Complex.
“We know that this is going to be the best year yet. The weather report looks amazing and we have new riders come in from all over the East Coast and Canada.” says GBW event coordinator Kelly Shue. “We are ready to see all our old friends and meet some new ones.”
This year’s musical acts include Thursday’s headliner Kashmir: The Live Led Zeppelin Show, with motorcycle rally favorite Jasmine Cain starting the four day party off right. Friday will feature bands ALL DAY from the Resurrection Tour including Puddle of Mudd, Saliva, Saving Abel, Tantric and Shallow Side. Saturday will be a full day of rock and roll starting at 10 am with Sound of Silence featuring 13 year old drumming sensation Avery Molek, followed by Redemption Road, Rebel Soul (kid Rock Tribute), Brickyaard Road (Lynyrd Skynyrd Tribuet band) and headliner Queensryche followed by a fireworks show like you have never seen before! Notorious emcee Jack Schit will once again perform master of ceremonies duties throughout the week on the Budweiser Stage, Gin Gypsies will be serving up the drinks and this year’s rally will feature a cornhole tournament and Cycle Source mini-bike racing. Expect heavy competition in the Cycle Source Ride-In Bike Show, Bike Games and Rodeo and the Parade of Chrome. Josh Owens from Moonshiners will be on property all weekend long as well!
