Motorcycle Events in Nebraska

Nebraska is situated in the Great Plains region of the Midwest. Once inhabited by various branches of the Sioux American Indians, this Great Plains state has miles of rolling lowlands. The expansive stretches of roads and highways make Nebraska an ideal destination for motorcycle riding. As a direct result, Nebraska is home to many different motorcycle events that include rallies, runs, food and fun.

A.B.A.T.E. Hog Roast
- The American Bikers Aiming Toward Education (A.B.A.T.E.) will be hosting its annual Hog Roast that begins on June 12 and will be held at the Morrill County Fairgrounds that are about a mile south of Bridgeport, Nebraska. The fee to attend the weekend's festivities is $30. There are plenty of trees for camping as well as a few plug-ins for RVs on a first-come, first-served basis. Budweiser will be providing all-you-can drink refreshments, and there will be an ice wagon available for ice for coolers. One of the roast's features is the 2nd Annual Beerfest games that showcase several five-person teams. The actual Hog Roast meal is served on Saturday after the bike games.
