What's the gimmick you ask? There simple is none. Sowrides creates revenue from our on-line magazine "Sowrides E-vents" and Advertisements and Store items. You get great event listings FREE!

Sowrides will do its very best to list the most accurate and up to date motorcycle events possible. Sowrides can't always guarantee the reliability of all posted event information. You should call, e-mail, or visit the event's web site for additional information before making your final riding plans.

Other Event Sites : Ask your self this question! Would you rather list your event on a web site that's dedicated to motorcycle events only? Or one of the hundreds of other web sites that list events just to help drive more traffic to sell you something. Your event gets lost deep in the back of there real content? It shouldn't take a rocket scientist to figure that one out! Just think of it, one web site with every United States motorcycle event listed! That's Sowrides Goal! At Sowrides we take a different approach to posting events on our site. At Sowrides, one to two weeks after an event's date has past, we move the event to our "Past Events" pages. Sowrides believes our users don't want to waste their valuable time scrolling down long list's of events who's dates have already come and gone. If your interested in past events Sowrides keeps all the past years events on our "Past Events" pages. So don't be fooled by those other web sites that list motorcycle events from years past, just to collect content. You'll only find the most current events on the planet on Sowrides.

Motorcycles then leave the staging area following a guide or leader single file or two abreast. These rides usually end at a different location where food, live bands, and games of all sorts await.
