Happy National Motorcycle Ride Day! On the second Saturday in October encourages any and all motorcyclists in the United States and the world to get out on their motorcycles for a united day of riding.
The month of October is significant. Not only is it toward the end of the riding season for a lot of motorcyclists in America, but it is also the month that American political scientist, John B. Dunlop, developed the first practical pneumatic tire in 1887.
Without this development in tire technology, motorcycles would not perform as they do or be as enjoyable as they are today.
That being said, the day also honors Dunlop and his invention of the first practical pneumatic tire.
Use the day to escape on your motorcycle. Have some fun, relieve some stress, and really enjoy the thrills. Freedom is what riding a motorcycle offers.
The day focuses on riders of all motorcycle disciplines. No matter what type of motorcycle you own or what type of rider you are, enjoy the camaraderie that comes along with owning a motorcycle. If you own a motorcycle, you will understand.
National Motorcycle Ride Day also encourages motorcyclists to support the motorcycle industry. While enjoying some of the last beautiful days of riding, stop by your local motorcycle dealer as well.
By supporting your local dealer and other businesses while enjoying your ride, you will help spur growth in your local economy.
HOW TO OBSERVE
Go for a ride with a friend and enjoy the fall weather. Be sure to share the enjoyment of riding while the season lasts.
While you are out on your ride or at your local dealer take a picture.
• Relive the thrill of this year’s rides.

• While connecting with other riders, find out about their favorite places to ride.
