Join us at Crooked Mountain for an adrenaline-packed weekend of motorcycling fun. Whether you’re a seasoned rider or a newbie, this event is perfect for all motorcycle enthusiasts. Get ready for thrilling rides, scenic views, and good times with fellow riders.

At the Crooked Mountain Moto Rally, you can expect live music, delicious food (for purchase from local vendors), and plenty of opportunities to connect with other riders. It’s a great chance to ride some great roads around Floyd, VA. “There’s not a straight road around here”.

So rev up your engines and mark your calendars for the Crooked Mountain Moto Rally – it’s an event you won’t want to miss!

This is not a specific dual sport, cruiser, or sport bike rally… it’s a MOTORCYCLE Rally. ALL motorcycle types welcome! Ride it if you got it. The Crooked Mountain Moto Rally is an opportunity to bring together riders to support motorcycle efforts in Floyd County, VA and help Veterans in need through the local American Legion post 127 and Mountain Valor Veteran Services. We’ll keep adding more to this weekend up to the day of the event.

Presented by Erskine Law, Reasons To Ride will be hosting a BIKE SHOW and FAMILY BBQ at Van Hoosen Farm in Rochester Hills with proceeds going to help families and individuals impacted by the recent event that occurred at the Rochester Hills Splash Pad.

This is a COMMUNITY EVENT – all are welcome.

FOOD PROVIDED BY:
Dime Store, Rochester will be donating all catering
Detroit Panzerotti Food Truck

BIKE SHOW INFORMATION:

It’s a RTR BIKE SHOW!!!!

ALL MAKES, MODELS, AND YEARS are welcome – bikes and riders!

REGISTER IN ADVANCE for a FREE T-SHIRT and LANYARD courtesy of ERSKINE LAW. You can register in advance by emailing – Info@ReasonsToRide.com

You can also reserve a booth / display for your shop or riding organization. All are welcome as we work to support these families in need.

The RtR Bike Show Series features local, regional, and nationally recognized shows that all builders and bike owners are encouraged to participate in. Vintage, metric, v-twin, customs, restored antiques, “resto-mods”, trikes, and radicals – they are all welcome to the show. Each bike show is also a qualifier for our Championship Shows – both the State Show and the National Championship Shows.

The vast majority of these shows are RIDE-IN shows, meaning that the bikes are expected to be ridden and a little bit of road dust is fine. We don’t split hairs over trailering in bikes, but we do require that all bikes must be functioning. They must start and be able to be safely ridden on the road.
Most of the shows include voting by event attendees and weighted judges scores. We use this approach to make certain we include the “people’s choice” as well as a professional eye – preventing it just being a popularity contest. Some shows, though, are Judged Shows – with the guest votes simply going towards the People’s Choice Awards.

All Shows feature trophies and placards to recognize the bikes and winners, with special prizes being added in some shows in consideration of the location and hosts. The Best of Show Bikes and TOP Class Winners from the Bike Show Series are then invited to take part in the Championship Shows.

This year’s shows will feature a broader range of classes including CUSTOM and RADICAL BAGGERS, GARAGE BUILDS, TRIKES, as well as VINTAGE, CUSTOM PAINT, and IMPORT categories. All will compete on the by the water, as the show is being held once more downtown on Sunday, For more information and to register, visit ReasonsToRide.com

CUSTOM PAINT!
All shows this year include a CUSTOM PAINT class for bikes to be considered under. You can enter your bike in just this category – or you can add it as a second classification. There is a discounted fee for adding the second category.

Expanded Audio Competitions
This year’s Bike Show Series now features an AUDIO SYSTEM class that can be entered by Exhibitors. The winner of this class is determined by informal sound competitions hosted by RtR as part of the shows. These are “King of the Hill” style competitions with winners chosen based upon overall sound quality – not simply the decibels they can produce. In some shows, we may host multiple rounds – each with their own OUTSTANDING AUDIO AWARD being awarded. This will help differentiate some of the bikes and allow more folks to participate.

The emphasis is on fun and the spirit of the day. Failing to uphold the spirit of the day is grounds for immediate discharge from the show and event grounds at the sole discretion of the host and promoter.
