Master Event Schedule

Updated 30-Aug-10

The 2010 NRR Events are included below;
for those details, please follow the link.

 

Saddle up and come on along!
All brands welcome!

Participation in all Nittany Road Rider events is open to all prior and future customers of Kissell Motorsports (all brands) and their guests (with their own bike or as a passenger). Participation in all local Nittany Road Riders events is free of charge and at your own risk.

NRR events are organized by various Volunteer Coordinators for both FUN and SAFETY. Depending on the number of bikes that participate and rider interest, we try to have two groups on each ride: Sport Riders & Cruisers, one of which should provide a comfortable pace for all riders. In all cases, each rider should drive at their own pace. Please review the NRR RIDING POLICIES. Each rider and passenger must sign the Release Form (PDF) that will be available from the Ride Leader prior to each event.

in Burkesville, KY
From KY Tiger Pilot Mark (Hawkster) Hawkins:

"Mostly Beemers with a few Triumphs and other brands thrown in.  Very reasonable price with camping, food and music thrown in. Put on by BMW Nashville and they do a fine job on organization. Low key. We went last year with about 5-6 local riders. The riding is good (but not WV good) and the location is relatively easy to get to."

Poker RunBenefit Poker Run
for Tuck Beveridge
(of T & J Cycle, Allport, PA)
From Chris Kepler: "Starting at the Grassflat Moose (off route 53 past Cooney's Bar) followed by a spaghetti supper at a local church. Sign up for the ride is between 11:00 AM & 1:00 PM, the donation for the ride is only $10 pp. This cost seems very reasonable to help someone out with something as serious as cancer, take a ride with a chance to win some money, get a meal, and meet new riders in the riding community."
