Roar on the Shore
One of the largest events is Roar on the Shore. The 2017 Roar on the Shore event marks the 11th year we have celebrated Bike Week in Erie, PA. The event officially opens in downtown Erie on July 12 at 4:00 p.m. More than 100 vendors will be on hand to offer a variety of merchandise. Live music and plenty of food will bring many bikers to downtown Erie. There will be plenty of bike parking throughout the downtown area. Roar on the Shore 2017 runs from July 12 through July 16.
Harley-Davidson of Erie BikeFest
Slightly overlapping Roar on the Shore, Harley-Davidson of Erie Bikefest takes place from July 8 through July 16 this year. A full week of bike activities including sponsored rides throughout Northwest Pennsylvania, eastern Ohio, and western New York. In addition to scenic motorcycle rides, attendees can enjoy live entertainment, contests, motorcycle industry vendors, and plenty of great food and beverages.
In addition to these great motorcycle events in Erie, you can find many more events and festivals throughout Pennsylvania this summer for motorcycle enthusiasts. We suggest you visit the following websites for lists of the upcoming motorcycle events in Pennsylvania:
Pennsylvania is the perfect place to hold motorcycle rallies, events, and festivals because of the beautiful scenery, great roads, and friendly people. We hope everyone enjoys riding this year, but we also want to remind you to stay safe while you are enjoying the open road.
Motorcycle Safety Tips
You cannot control the actions of other drivers, but you can take steps to reduce the risk of being injured in a Pennsylvania motorcycle accident. Remember, intersections are extremely dangerous for motorcyclists because other drivers will turn left in front of riders without a second thought. Some drivers are simply not paying enough attention while others don’t even notice motorcycles on the road with them.
Be cautious when approaching intersections and look for signs a driver may pull out in front of you. In addition to offering tips for avoiding accidents caused by drivers turning left in front of you, Ride Apart offers tips for avoiding common motorcycle accidents.
Before heading out on a motorcycle ride, inspect your bike to make sure that all components are in good working order. A well-maintained motorcycle can reduce your risk of being involved in a motorcycle accident. When you are riding, limit distractions. It may be tempting to turn up the music or use your cell phone; however, remaining alert can mean the difference between a tragic accident and a close call.
Call an Erie Motorcycle Accident for Help
Even an experienced motorcycle rider can be injured in a crash. If your crash was caused by another driver or other party, our Erie motorcycle accident attorneys can help you file a claim against that party to recover damages. Some insurance companies like to place the blame for accidents on the motorcyclist. We fight for justice and for your legal right to receive full compensation for your injuries, losses, and damages.
