Celebrate National Motorcycle Day™ 2021

Added June 30, 2021

Need an excuse to get out and ride? Look no further than our favorite day of the year—National Motorcycle Day^™, taking place Friday, July 9, 2021.

Get ready to ride

After a particularly long year, folks are looking forward to more hopeful, positive opportunities to reconnect with those around them. That’s why we’re encouraging friends, family, and motorcycle riders across the country to jump on their bikes on July 9, do some good in their communities, and share their good deeds with us by tagging Dairyland® on social media and using #NationalMotorcycleDay.

National Motorcycle Day celebrates the continuous, positive impact riders have on communities throughout the nation. To help kickstart acts of good in honor of National Motorcycle Day, we’re riding with our friends, Marcus Luttrell and Whitney Meza.

Marcus and Whitney will be riding in Houston, Texas, and Waupaca and Oshkosh, Wisconsin, to do good by giving back to those who’ve helped keep our country strong.

Meet our riders

Riders give back

From charity rides to give-back events, motorcycle riders are some of the most generous people you’ll find on the road. In fact, according to Dairyland research, 60 percent of motorcyclists volunteer to support causes they’re passionate about.

Whether you’re a longtime rider, new to riding on two wheels, or somewhere in between, we hope you’ll take this opportunity to support your neighbors and community. We want to show America hope, thanks, and action for the people and places that need it most.

You can join the ride to spread good

Need some inspiration to get you started on your own acts of good? What about surprising an elderly neighbor by mowing their lawn, organizing a charitable ride for a community member in need, or simply buying coffee for the next person in line at a drive-thru?

All seemingly small acts of good can make a difference. Let’s make an impact, together, on National Motorcycle Day 2021.
