Full price registrations include a motorcycle headlight sticker, credentials for two people, chances to win valuable nightly giveaway prizes, and one goodie bag. We do not need your co-pilot’s name when you register!

What motorcycles are welcome on the Hot Bike Power Tour(tm)?
Any motorcycle owner who wants to join the tour is welcomed! Any year, make or model of motorcycles is accepted.
What are the on-site Registration hours, and what are the types of registration are available?
In Little Rock, Registration will be open Friday August 23rd from 9am to 6pm, and again on Saturday August 24th from 9am to 6pm. At all other venues, Registration opens at noon, and stays open until 6pm at each venue. If you miss getting to Registration before it closes on any Cruise Night, you will have to get your credentials at the next venue. We do not conduct registration at the morning drivers’ meetings. If you plan to go to more than one city, you fall under the multi-city registration price and will only have to pick up your credentials once. If you would like to register for one day only then decide to go to another stop, you will need to stop at the Registration trailer in the next city to register again. The credential you get as a one day registrant will not be accepted at any other venue.
What are the advantages of registering for multi-city?
Full price registration has its rewards! As a multi-day participant, you will receive a goodie bag stuffed full of cool giveaway items and freebies from Hot Bike and also from Hot Bike Power Tour(tm) sponsors! Once you pick up your credentials, you are set for the entire tour and do not have to stop at registration again. You also get way cool giveaways that are given away at the main stage nightly and at the Sponsors booths at each stop. One day registrants are not eligible for many of the giveaways. Additionally, one day registrants have to stop and register each day at registration. For example, if you are doing three stops you would have to stop and register three times as a one-day participant. One day registrants do get a Hot Bike souvenir, but no goodie bag.
Will the credentials be mailed to me?
No! You have to stop at registration, (follow the signs directing you to the “Participant Registration” location at each daily stop) and pick up your credentials there.Approximately one month prior to Hot Bike Power Tour(tm) you will get a confirmation letter with the most current information. You do not need to produce the confirmation letter at registration, but **you will have to have your valid driver’s license. Important note: Only the listed registrant can pick up the credentials. No one else will be able to obtain another person’s credentials under any circumstances. **
Can I trailer my bike?
Hey, c’mon! This is the Hot Bike Power Tour(tm)! Yes, I suppose you can trailer it if you want to be chuckled at. Please note that we will not have trailer parking at the venues, so you are responsible for finding someplace to park and off-load your ride. Also note that it MUST be driven into the venue on its own power.
Where do we start from every morning on the Hot Bike Power Tour(tm)?
Each morning Tour participants are invited to meet back at the same facility the event was held at the previous day for a Driver’s Meeting, unless otherwise noted on the schedule.

Do we have to follow the mapped route on the Hot Bike Power Tour(tm)?
Each morning you start from the drivers meeting, and from there it is up to you what route you follow. The driving directions you will be supplied with in Little Rock at the first venue are a suggested mapped route for each day, but it is not mandatory that they be followed. If you want to hit some local landmark that is not on the mapped route, please feel free to!
Can I bring my pet or animal on the Hot Bike Power Tour(tm)?
It is the policy that we recommend that you do not bring your pets. The Power Tour stops are usually held on asphalt and it does get very, very warm. It is unfair to the animal, and also it is respectful to Power Tour fellow participants and spectators to leave the animals at home.

The LongRider awards ceremony will be held Thursday August 29th. These awards are to honor the Hot Bike owners that traveled the entire Power Tour route, checking in at the main stage at the first stop in Little Rock, AR and doing the same at all other daily stops along the entire route to Racine, WI.
I am traveling by myself. Do I meet up with someone to run with between cities?
Yes, it is encouraged that you employ the buddy system. You notice people at your hotel or during the first day at Little Rock. It is always a good idea to introduce yourself, exchange info and pair up with at least one other participant so you can help each other out if the need arises along the way.
