1404

Posted by Rob under Bikers' Church

The Motorcycle Info Day & Swap Meet has been going on for seven years now. The first year we held the event, we had a record blizzard, and yet still had a few hundred people attend. Last year, we saw around 600 people come through the doors.

This year, I hoped for 700. 700 would have been amazing. 800 would have surpassed any one’s expectations. But, we didn’t get 800. Nope. We got 1404.

1404. I’m still in shock. All day long, the bikes just kept coming in. In bunches. Friends from Montreal, Toronto, and Peterborough joined the local riders.

To put it in perspective, the largest local event is the Ride for DAD, which boasts around 1600 people.

1404. Wow.

I’m so proud of everyone who volunteered and made this event such a success. You are an amazing bunch. Thank you.

Video and pictures will be uploaded soon.
