Calendar cost is $19 and event information is due in mid-March each year. Ask them about donating a trophy to your event. See website for updated information.

Motorcycle Websites:

You might get an old Indian, classic Harley, or an amazing custom out there. Your best bets are to post flyers at motorcycle friendly bars/sports bars, motorcycle shops, and custom motorcycle shops. You may also be able to find a Christian motorcycle club that will make a showing. With that being said, here are a couple of motorcycle websites:
