    6th Annual RALLY in the Valley! Olean, NY
    Aug 15-17, 2008

    (65 Miles south of Buffalo, 90 miles East of Erie, PA)

    RALLY IN THE VALLEY MOTORCYCLE EVENT is expected to once again draw several thousand motorcyclists from across the region.

    This year, the event will open with a FRIDAY Aug. 15, KICK OFF to the RALLY concert featuring the Patti Parks Blues Band. Games, vendors, food and fun will round out the night. The Rally will also present the inaugural BYOBW-- Bring your own Big Wheel Adult Race! The event runs 5:30 PM - 11 PM.


    On Saturday, August 16, the stadium will be turned into a street festival with a variety of activities, including a bike rodeo, bands, foods, and vendors. The event runs 11 AM - 11 PM. Come join us as a spectator or even better - a participant in the Rally Bike Rodeo. Test your motorcycling skills and balance and compete for a chance to win cash prizes. The bike rodeo includes slow ride (tests a rider's balance at a very slow speed in lanes 3 feet wide and 50 ft. long), ball drop (passenger tries to place tennis balls on the top of the cones), tire toss (passenger tosses bicycle tires on top of these cones), and hot dog (the passenger attempts to bite off a dangling hot dog covered in mustard). Enter your rides in the annual BIKE SHOW. Show them off, let everyone enjoy them. Then let our judges make the tough decisions of who has the best bikes at this year’s rally. We’ll be proudly presenting awards at least five different categories. The Rally will also present the inaugural BYOBW-- Bring your own Big Wheel Adult Race! Saturday’s music entertainment will include bands ~ Olean’s Blue Brothers and the band from Buffalo, Jon Payne & Wildfire. Saturday will also mark the return of the trick riders who use their bikes to climb over obstacles like cars, tree logs, and fly over people!

    Sunday, August 17, the bikes will take to the run and complete an approximate 130-mile Advanced Monolythic Ceramics Dice Run ending at Bradner Stadium in Olean with a food, music, prizes and more. The bikers will compete for dice run cash prizes. Rally has lined up the band WEST to entertain from 2 - 6 PM.

    Tickets are available for a chance to win a 2008 Harley-Davidson Candy Red Glo FXDF Dyna Fat Bob with Vance & Hines radius performance pipes. The tickets are $20 with a limit of 1,500 tickets to be sold. The Fat Bob brings a new perspective to the Dyna family, with its bold, in-your-face attitude and factory customized styling cues that include not only the large Fat Bob tank, but also innovative dual reflector optic headlamps. The throaty exhaust pipes are aftermarket Vance & Hines radius performance pipes. The drawing will be announced on Sunday, August 17. The motorcycle was partially sponsored by Larry's Sport Center, Galeton, PA. Tickets are available to purchase before the event at the Greater Olean Area Chamber of Commerce and during the event at the Rally Registration Booth.
