Hey Gloria, nicely done. We came into town with our HOG Chapter around 12:30 and stayed till 4:00ish. We were lucky as we had no rain. Take care and hope to see you soon, cheers Dave
Thanks for your kind words, you were there basically in the same time frame as myself, I got there for noon and left just before 5 pm. It was at least 30 minute walk to where I was parked. I must check out your video now.
It isn't too far from where I live and great fish Lake Erie has some fine tasting Perch. I try not to miss one over the many years of attending......however winter can be tough. Thanks for your kind words Eric. Stay safe
Thank you and yes it's a great event been going since 1981 when two guys started it, then they told two and they told two more and well the rest is history.
Well you never know . May have to hook up with goldwing moments (brother) and go be part of it .Thank you for the encouragement. Maybe you can come ride the most Easterly point in North America. Be safe and treasure the ride
One day yes..............how about September 2024. It's gonna be a HUGE one that kind of summer event brings in the 100k of bikes, all crammed into the little town.
That’s a great rally! 55k is a lot of bikes at one place at one time! I had never heard of this before. Thanks so much for sharing this one! Rife safe Gloria!
Two guys started it in 1981 and those two guys told two more guys and then they told two and before you know it an event was formed, it happens rain or shine even in the winter its an event.
It's too bad I missed meeting you Craig, however I will watch for you next September LOL Ya that band on the porch was pretty neat. Thanks for watching and being here.
Great video. I was unable to make the trip due to work, so it was nice to watch your channel to see how things turned out. Sure looked like a large event. Thanks for sharing.
Ya wasn't too bad for numbers considering it was a fall event. You will have to be sure to book Sept 2024 off that is the next one and that will be nice weather...well chance of rain but hey, it's Dover.
First time to the channel. I enjoyed the vlog. I am loving how everyone is showing this event. So many things I did not get to see was captured by someone else. I love it!
Welcome it’s great to have you here!!! I have been enjoying all the different views everyone captured at this event that I missed! Looking forward to Sept 2024 Stay safe
Nice capture of the day . Its been interesting to view some of the videos from various UA-camrs that I was lucky enough to catch up with and talk to that day . Would have been nice to spot you in the crowd and say hi , oh well ,maybe the next one . Its intriguing to see how we all had basically the same subject matter to shoot and yet come up with vastly different interpretations in the final cut we post . I guess thats what makes the UA-cam world so appealing . Cheers
@HarleyGurl114 Ya , that's the really great part .Everyone has their own unique perspective and style of editing. Your style is great. No need to change anything its your trademark.Thanks for the kind comments. Cheers 🍻
I miss going to this, it is very difficult to ask for the time off as kids wont be going to school that day if i book off. I miss going to the Erie Beach Hotel for celery bread and perch dinner. Thanks for sharing it Gloria.
Hi Ron, I do love working at the school as my vacation days fit right in with these events!! I get it tho with your position yes kids depend on you to get them there, tougher to take time off! I had my perch dinner at Erie did you see the pic at the end? Yummy stuff and good memories from chapter days!
They were pretty cool. DID you see the "THONG" man????? at the end? It isn't an offical Dover til you see him. He changes like 4 or 5 times through the day, LOL yup!!
LOL!!! The “Thong” man He changes every hour while he is there, Dover isn’t Dover without him he also did a pumpkin thong!!! Several others but ya!! Haha
Yes!! That is typical fall and spring riding weather for sure, just ya don't like a cold rain. Not far for me, take the back roads home in just over an hour.
That looks like a big event for Port Dover. A LOT of bikes for a one day rally. I remember that couple from their singing vids on YT, they are really good. I'm surprised that you and Dave, Harleys, Diners, Rides...or as I say, "The Canadian HDR" were not in each other's videos. Do they do this event every Oct 13th?
Every Friday the 13th it happens, it’s so crowded hard to find anyone, and this was nothing a smaller than normal crowd yet still I missed seeing them.
I think they’re really trying to ruin this rally now you’re not even allowed to park your bikes on Main Street. Put the damn vendors back in the park and let the bikes use. The road people are there to see the bikes, not the vendors.
Totally agree!! It has lost the group of bikers feeling, no motorcycling parking on the main drag just took it all away.........absolutely craziness now. Walking everywhere, I agree vendors back to the park........ "Dover is over" as the saying goes.
Thanks for watching and commenting, We must meet up for a hello in September 2024 .... We have been supporting it for many many years, now we ride in get our feed of perch and ride out.........we do take a quick walk around, but it's very hard to see all the bikes now.
@@HarleyGurl114 been going since 1994 even lived in Dover for five years. The people do nothing but whining about Friday the 13th. I would love to see one event where thousands of bikers show up but nobody spends a penny.
Thanks for the video 👍👍
My pleasure!!
👍Beautiful gathering of motorcycles, a beautiful atmosphere ✌
Thank you! It is always so much fun

Largest one day rally in the world...how cool AND how cool that you have been to so many of them!!
It's quite the thing for sure.
What fun! And how cool is that, you have gone to this bike show so many times. I loved the music and vibes of this one, Gloria!
It isn't too far from where I live and great fish Lake Erie has some fine tasting Perch. I try not to miss one over the many years of attending......however winter can be tough. Thanks for your kind words Eric. Stay safe

WOW, what a great event. Thanks for sharing this with us. Be well, you matter. ... Bob
Thanks Bob!! Always a pleasure to read your kind words
A big hello from the Rock. Enjoyed your video and someday before I hit 90 you old , I hope to take one in
Wow, from the Rock, thank you for watching and commenting. I hope you can take on in too, next year September 2024 see you there!
Well you never know . May have to hook up with goldwing moments (brother) and go be part of it .Thank you for the encouragement. Maybe you can come ride the most Easterly point in North America. Be safe and treasure the ride
It looked a bit crispy but it is a legendary rally indeed ! Maybe one day I will be around to experience it! I am glad you had fun 🎉

Hello Gloria wow 55,000 lots of bikes. Hope you made it home before the rain. 💕NonnaGrace 🐓
I did manage to stay dry yes, it is no fun in the cold rain...these ol bones don't like that. Thanks for being here.
Great video. The band on the porch was great. I missed them. It was definitely a little brisk that day but it was a great time. Ride safe!

So true! Seeing each creator edit and put out their "stuff" ONE day I want to edit like you do. Absolutely always enjoyed your channel.

Looks like a great turnout 😎👍
Such a blast every one of them. Thanks for watching.

@@HarleyGurl114 oh yeah...I saw him... My eyes though! 😄
That's a lot of bikes.
It sure was and to think in summer months we have hit over 100k Always a fun day!
😎👍👍
Such fun and the fish dinner is amazing.
Yikes !! Batman looks like he’s had better days !!!
LOL!!! The “Thong” man He changes every hour while he is there, Dover isn’t Dover without him he also did a pumpkin thong!!! Several others but ya!! Haha
I was there June 2018... OPP estimated 250,000 bikes... it was HOT and crowded but so awesome!!! Will be back for Sept 2024 🙂
I haven’t missed one in over 20 years now! I remember that one! That’s why it is the biggest one day bike rally in the world!
Don’t forget December, we have two next year
@@HarleyGurl114 lol... September is stretching it for me, I live in Northern BC... the Cariboo Dec? ..........LMAO!!! no can do ;-)
that looked like a ton of fun.
Ya for a smaller event for the time of year it was still a blast. Lots of Rykers and Spyders too!
I saw more than one Spyder there lol! I'm working on an Alaskan video...in all of Alaska, I saw two other Spyders the whole time we were there lol
We have the amazing Canadian Spyder everywhere here................quite popular.
@HarleyGurl114 Hmmm... "Spyder Gurl" kinda has a nice ring to it doncha think ? 🤔😉
@@SpyderWayne 😄
was a fun Day. I road down from Northbay.
Wow that is quite the ride!!! It was good weather and a bit brisk for you no doubt having to leave early
Missed you again Gloria, next time ......................................JB..
LOL yes next time............Thanks for watching
Wow, pretty huge turnout 👍
Ya usually more than double but this time of year it was smaller, but still lots of fun and the weather well it was brisk but comfy in the right gear.
Looked like a good time.
Always a fun time and the fish dinner is amazing here
Now I miss it even more.. 👍
You have to come and join us for September 2024
Here's a wave and a hug 🖐🤗 that I didn't get to give you in Port Dover. Next one I go to, I'll find ya... or my phone will find your phone 😁👍
LOL for sure!!! It's gonna happen....I will make it a point to have a visit/chat sit down with you at Ride for Dad in June.
I'll be there 😊
Kick stand up, good eye Gloria. Probably saved him an incident.
Ahhh you saw that eh? Ya, it was kinda freaky to see someone cruising down the street with kickstand out........... LOL
48 isn't bad as long as there isn't rain, lol! What year had the most number of these rallies?
Yes!! That is typical fall and spring riding weather for sure, just ya don't like a cold rain. Not far for me, take the back roads home in just over an hour.
