The Bonnier Motorcycle Group is proud to announce GEICO Motorcycle Presents Hot Bike Tour 2014— a rolling motorcycle rally, thundering through the Midwest this August.

GEICO Motorcycle Insurance shares the same enthusiasm for riding as the readers and fans of Hot Bike, Baggers and Street Chopper. They proved that by stepping up as the title sponsor for Hot Bike’s annual tour. The best part? Consumers are invited to join the fun, spending five days riding a thousand miles through America’s Heartland! Enthusiasts can ride the whole five-day tour from tip-to-tail as a Longrider, or they can pick one of several dates to meet up with the pack to join in on the fun.

The tour kicks off on Saturday, August 16, in Joplin, Missouri with a world-class invitational bike show, live music, parts and accessory vendors, and much more. The ride departs the next morning, heading to Jefferson City, Missouri, where riders can rejoin the party for a fun evening of shows and entertainment. This formula for fun repeats each day of the Tour, though the experience is never the same. The ride concludes in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin as riders roll into town after spending five amazing days creating a million stories and memories.

“I am really excited for the sophomore edition of our rolling rally, which happens to be smack-dab in the middle of America where gasoline first met piston. Along for the ride this year are a dozen or so legendary bike builders riding and showing their latest creations, tons of the latest in custom componentry, and a nightly party to boot! I hope you come on out and enjoy riding miles of some of the best roads in the USA with all of us,” Jeff G. Holt, Hot Bike’s Editor In Chief, said.

Launched last year, the GEICO Motorcycle Hot Bike Tour (previously dubbed the Hot Bike Power Tour) is a key part of the Bonnier Media brands, Hot Bike, Baggers and Street Chopper. Together, these brands are dedicated to all fans of custom motorcycles. The editorial staff certainly appreciates the amazing talent expressed in creating a bike with one-of-a-kind looks, but wanted a way to prove these machines work as well as they appear. From that desire, the Tour was born.
