The Biggest Motorcycle Event in the North
The New Liskeard Bikers Reunion—there's nothing else quite like it. If you want a motorcycle event with heart head to the Bikers Reunion this summer!
New Liskeard
June 27th, 28th and 29th
Free Admission!
Back at it again for fun in the sun in Ontario's true north is the New Liskeard Bikers Reunion. With over 5000 motorcycles expected and so much to do for the whole family, the 2014 Bikers Reunion is our top choice for motorcycle events in Ontario this year and guaranteed to be a weekend you won't soon forget.
More than just another party, this is a celebration of a community that cares. Each year the Terry Phippen Memorial Freedom Ride includes a stop to the Temiskaming Hospital to deliver care packages to all patients and nurses there. Imagine how it would feel to be visited by a line of bikes over 12 miles long!
Check out the brand new Go Tour Ontario Trip Planner because the ride up there is going to be half the fun!
The weekend will include:
- People's Choice Show & Shine
- Live Music All Weekend Long
- Home-Cooked Meals
- Silent Auction
- Refugee Palace
- Early Bird Ride
There will also be Demo Rides and a chance to win a 2014 Harley-Davidson CVO Softail Deluxe. Click here for the full schedule.
Camping will be available on site so you won't have to miss a thing. Or if you want some respite from the fun there are lots of local accommodations available.
This is going to be a party you're not going to want to miss. Register today and we'll see you there!
