New Jersey's 5 Best Motorcycle Rallies In 2011

Engines Won't Stop Running This Year

There are so many top-notch motorcycle rallies in New Jersey this year that there will barely be enough time to gas up your motorcycles and fuel up your bikes between runs. Here's a peek at the upcoming action:

Wildwood Spring Rally

Southern New Jersey's motorcycle Mecca roars to life May 14-15 with the annual Wildwood Spring Rally will be centered in and around the hotels, diners and bars near Oak and Atlantic Avenues. Motorcycle venders will feature the latest in gear and clothing. Local establishment will off drink specials. Wildwood Cycles will hold its annual open house with discounts on parts and riding gear. Come down to the Bolero, pick up a cold one and chill and relax to the sounds of motorcycles.

Ride the Wave

Join nearly 2, 000 other motorcycle riders in the annual Camden-to-Wildwood fundraiser for the Hero Campaign. The ride begins at the Camden (New Jersey) Waterfront at 10 a.m. Saturday, May 14 and finishes at the Bolero in Wildwood, New Jersey and in the middle of the Wildwood Spring Rally.

Atlantic City

The Jimmy Van Zandt Band is among a group of performers that blast down the house at the Atlantic City Convention Center during a five-day festival of noise, motorcycles and drink from May 19-23. The Atlantic City Bike Week will also include displays by 10 of the area's best custom motorcycle builders. It's sponsored by Cyclesource Magazine, Rider Insurance, Bally's and the Showboat Casino.

Party With the Jersey Devil

The Jersey Devil lives in the woods of the Pine Barrens, but on July 15-16 he'll haunt the Cumberland County Fairgrounds in Millville, N.J. to emcee an old-fashion, older-than-21 biker party. Organizers have signed up tribute bands and the event will feature 21 contests, motorcycle and motorsports displays. This is a motorcycle rally you can't miss.

Roar to the Shore

Thousands of motorcycles, bikers and biker babes cram the streets of Wildwood, New Jersey annually for a three-day festival of motorcycles and fund times. This year's event is Sept. 9-11 and centers around the Bolero Hotel on Atlantic Avenue. But the action doesn't stop there. Cruise up and down Atlantic for drink specials, meal specials and to see the hottest bikes. Head a few blocks south to the Wildwood Convention Center and check out hundreds of venders and the products they offer.

New Jersey Hog Rally

Wild hogs will swarm the streets, bars and beaches of Seaside Heights, New Jersey on Sept. 22-24 for the annual state Harley-Davidson Owners Group convention. The event features daily poker runs, guided runs, contests, concerts and fun. Included is a guided run to the Lakehurst Navel Air Station where the Hindenburg crashed in the 1930s.
