SUMMARY:Rebel Road - Muskegon
DESCRIPTION:Rebel Road was “built by community” in order to show support for Downtown Muskegon. Consisting of breweries\, restaurants\, bars\, a performance arts center\, an arena\, small shops\, a gallery\, hotels and other businesses\, Downtown Muskegon is the place to be and a great place to throw a party.  All of these businesses have something unique to contribute to Rebel Road.​ \n\n\n\nFive years later and we’re still going strong! \n\n\n\n​Like Downtown Muskegon\, Rebel Road has seen a lot of changes in the past five years. But some things have remained the same: Muskegon’s Rebel Road is still Michigan’s best biker bash\, and everyone who visits is doing their part to fight child abuse. \n\n\n\nThe Child Abuse Council of Muskegon County plays a huge role in the planning and execution of Rebel Road.  All of the proceeds from the CAC Beverage Tents scattered in Downtown Muskegon go to the Child Abuse Council of Muskegon County to support our local kids. \n\n\n\nMuskegon has a rich motorcycle history. It is home to the Muskegon Motorcycle Club (MMC). Founded in 1920\, the MMC is older than the American Motorcycle Association. The MMC established what would become the first professional hill climb in the United States in 1923. The Muskegon Motorcycle Club still hosts the National Hill Climb Competition held at Mt. Garfield every other August on even-numbered years.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFIND THUNDER ROADS MICHIGAN MAGAZINE IN THE MAINSTAGE AREA!

SUMMARY:19TH ANNUAL BIKES ON THE BRICKS
DESCRIPTION:Motorcycle Event and Police Skills Competition that occurs the weekend after Labor Day annually on Saginaw Street Flint\, Michigan. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHISTORY of BIKES ON THE BRICKS\n\n\n\nIn the fall of 2007\, an idea was developed for a motorcycle show to complement Back to the Bricks\, an automobile show held in August in Downtown Flint since 2004. The community minded individuals with this great idea were: Don Williamson (former Flint Mayor)\, Larry Ford (former President of Genesee County Chamber of Commerce)\, Gary Hagler (former Acting Flint Police Chief)\, and Ron Lonsway (Sales Executive at then Cummings Vehicle City Harley-Davidson\, now Vehicle City Harley-Davidson). Lonsway contacted Kirk Bowles (owner of Forest City Cycle Works)\, Ed Henderson (owner of Top End Cycle)\, and Jeff Wade (radio personality at WRSR 103.9) to see if they would be interested in participating.  They all agreed it was a great concept\, an opportunity for Flint\, and they would participate in the motorcycle show. \n\n\n\nThe City of Flint permitted the group to hold a motorcycle show on Saturday\, October 6\, 2007\, which was approximately 3 weeks away. With only 3 weeks to plan the event\, Bowles\, Henderson\, Lonsway\, and Wade met with Tanya Lane (former employee of Flint Convention & Visitors Bureau)\, Hagler\, John Benthal (former City of Burton Police Chief)\, and Charlie Schecter (former Flint Police Officer) to work out the details.  Bikes on the Bricks was a reality! \n\n\n\nThe first Bikes on the Bricks was held on Saturday\, October 6\, 2007.  Approximately 100 motorcycle diehards showed up that rainy\, cold day. In addition to a motorcycle show\, the idea grew to include a police skills competition.  Even though Bikes had a humble beginning\, it is now a premier 3-day bike event in Flint\, Michigan featuring bike shows\, police skills competition\, food and merchandise vendors\, biker fashion show\, special guests\, and a police escorted ride – everything for the motorcycle enthusiast! \n\n\n\nBikes on the Bricks is proud to donate the proceeds from the police escorted ride to charitable organizations in Genesee County. In the past recipients included the Old Newsboys of Flint\, Hurley Medical Center\, Friends of the Flint Police\, Young Marines\, and St. Luke NEW Life Center. \n\n\n\n\n\nClick To View Event
