New this year are contests including the Doughnut Eating Contest (We thought it fit with the police officer presence!) sponsored by Krispy Kreme. There will also be Motorcycle Trivia Contests throughout the day and other ways to win great prizes!
We have also expanded our law enforcement motor officer competition. Motor officer teams from throughout Michigan will show their skills and compete for the traveling trophy. More than 200 law enforcement agencies were invited to participate in the competition and we look forward to the show!

FEATURED MOTORCYCLE
You may recognize our cover motorcycle from seeing it in front of the Muffler Man in Clio. Mike Bowen, owner of the Muffler Man, built the bike with his son in 2005 for his wife, Chris. Mike fabricated 85% of it himself. It has an aluminum frame, Harley-Davidson motor and electronic fuel injection. It was painted by Dave Satterwhite of Wolfhound Graphics in Flint.
