2008 Harvest Classic to benefit Candlelighters Childhood Cancer Foundation


October 24 - 25, 2008 - The Harvest Classic has been recognized by the readers of Ride Texas Magazine. Organized by Central Texas Motorcycle Charities, this gathering of Classic and European motorcycles raises money for Candlelighters Childhood Cancer Foundation. We welcome anyone who enjoys classic motorcycles (from any country!) and scooters and above all, a good time. Our goal at CTMC is to have the Harvest Classic be the best rally you've ever attended and, most importantly, raise as much money as possible for this very worthy charity.

This year’s event includes:

All the fun of Luckenbach, www.luckenbachtexas.com.

Bike Show - On Saturday, the Harvest Classic bike show welcomes Vintage and Classic motorcycles and scooters of all origins. The judging is by popular vote and top finishers in each class win coveted one of a kind handmade glass trophies created and donated by one of the Rally’s Gold sponsors, Blue Moon Glassworks. We award the trophies Saturday evening.

Raffle & Auction for the kids - Make sure you get plenty of raffle tickets which are available throughout the day from Rally staff and volunteers. Tickets are $20 for 5, or $5 each. You must be present at the drawing held Saturday afternoon. On Saturday afternoon, take some time to view the prizes donated by individuals and businesses to help raise money for this wonderful cause

Bike Portraits - Also on Saturday, don't miss your opportunity to get a portrait of you and your ride taken by professional photographer David Omer.

Saturday Dinner & Moto Movie - For the first 500 folks (including all pre-registrants), rally admission fee includes a tasty home-cooked meal. All the food is cooked onsite in the biggest barbecue pit that you have ever seen-everybody loves the food at the Harvest Classic! After dinner, stick around and watch some fine moto-cinema on a 20' by 40' screen, courtesy of Alamo Drafthouse Rolling Roadshow!

Harvest Classic Charity Challenge - Come test your riding skills in the Harvest Classic Charity Challenge Trials Event and raise some money for a good cause! Registration for this fun event is open to all rally participants. However, this is an AMA sanctioned event and all competitors must be AMA members. If you are not currently an AMA member, you will be able to join the AMA at the event. Choose your level of difficulty—there'll be classes for all skill levels from Rookie to Expert (Rookie, Novice, Vintage, Amateur, Intermediate, Advanced & Expert.) Awards will be given to the rider with the lowest score in each class.

Sunday Morning Breakfast Ride - Depart at 9:30am for a short ride to the Alamo Springs Cafe, where we can finish off the rally with a nice hearty feed. Bring your wallet, because this meal is not included in the rally admission fee.
