2011 Outer Banks Bike Week – Dates Announced

9th Annual Outer Banks Bike Week™
2 Full Weekends in 2011!
Saturday to Sunday, April 16th-24th, 2011

Outer Banks Bike Week - Harley Store

Outer Banks Bike Week - Harley Store

9 years?!  Can you believe it’s already been 9 years for the Outer Banks Bike Week?  Time flies.  And the event just keeps getting bigger and better.

2010 marked the first year Bike Week ran for eight days. Thursday had been the traditional kickoff day in prior years. This gave the bikers more time to get in the longer guided tours, extended rally activities and the area attractions. And for 2011 the OBX Bike Week is being extended to include 2 full weekends (9 days)!

Outer Banks Bike Week

Outer Banks Bike Week

The springtime weather after a long winter makes this biker paradise the perfect getaway. The Outer Banks area runs from southern Currituck County, to its northern beaches of Duck and Corolla, through Dare County and the towns of Kitty Hawk, Kill Devil Hills and Nags Head, over to Roanoke Island, Mann’s Harbor and then further south to Hatteras and Ocracoke Island. The venue is spread out enough to ride without any crowd or traffic concerns but intimate enough to make friends for life.

Like any good bike rally, Outer Banks Bike Week™ has more than enough activities and entertainment to keep riders going all week. The rally events are all free due to the local business sponsors who have been extremely enthusiastic and generous in supporting this growing event during the spring.

Updates on 2011 events coming soon.

2010 Motorcycle Cannonball Run Takes Off from the Outer Banks

Outer Banks Cannonball Run

Outer Banks Cannonball Run

Way back in December 2009, we provided some details of a whacky (that’s a term of endearment) motorcycle race called the Cannonball Run that was starting on the Outer Banks.  Well, today was the day.

The Cannonball Run took off from the OBX this morning.

No, not this Cannonball Run (although it would be great to see Burt’s ‘stache on the OBX!).

It’s not 1981, and there were no Burt Reynold’s mustache sightings this morning.  The 2010 version of the Cannonball Run is a cross-country motorcycle race starting on the East Coast (Outer Banks) and  culminating 3,300 miles later on the West Coast (Santa Monica, CA), and although the race may be modern, the motorcycles are anything but contemporary.

The race launches a pack of riders on vintage motorcycles on an historic ride across the U.S.  Participants are required to ride classic pre-1916 motorcycles such as Pope, Sears, Flying Merkel, Excelsior, Henderson, Indian, Triumph, and the Harley-Davidson’s Silent Grey Fellows.

About 50 vintage motorcycles pre-dating 1916 headed out for the coast-to-coast Cannonball Run from the Wright Brothers National Memorial on Friday September 10, 2010.  Kill Devil Hills Mayor Ray Sturza waved the green flag as hundreds of onlookers cheered the riders departing for the run’s first leg.

The run will be in 16 stages totaling more than 3,000 miles. Each leg ranges between about 200 and 300 miles, starting on the OBX and ending in Santa Monica, California on September 26.

You can find more details about the Motorcycle Cannonball at www.motorcyclecannonball.com

Here’s some video of the event at the Wright Brothers Monument.
