People rev up their motorcycles taking part in one of the biggest motorcycle rallies in the country.

“The best part of the rally is just seeing all these bikers come together in one huge place like this and it’s just a lot of fun for the week, we look forward to this every year,” says Kevin Fischer.

To listening to live music to the food, every year the crowd keeps getting bigger with new visitors and those who have been here since it started 13 years ago.

“We’ve been coming since they started the thing,” says Don Graves.

 Some traveled hundreds of miles to take part in the rally.

“700 miles,” says a couple who traveled from Eastern Colorado.

“We are from Choctaw Oklahoma.”

And the drive from Oklahoma coming into Northwest Arkansas is her favorite part.

“Actually just coming into Arkansas going through that big bridge that’s the best part.”

For others it’s showing off their bikes….

“I got a unique bike and everyone compliments on it so I have bringing mine up here just to kind of show mine off and get ideas from other people so that I can put it into mine,” says Graves.

 “It’s a unique motorcycle it’s a custom built bike, it’s blue and sparkly,” adds Tommy Sabala.

The rally continues into the weekend with activities throughout the day and night.
