ToadStock, Biker’s Down Signature overnight event, will take place this Saturday, August 20th following our annual Charity Poker Run. For just $25 you can enjoy the Poker Run and an overnight ‘Old Fashioned Biker Party’ in Gore, Nova Scotia. ($15 for just the Poker Run.) Registration is from 12:00-1:30pm at Toad’s Cycle Works. The run ends in Gore around 4:00-5:00pm and ToadStock begins – and goes all night.

ToadStock will feature a variety of vendors, mud wrestling, bike games, a wet T-shirt contest and a band. There will also be a tatoo artist on-site. All proceeds will go to the Biker’s Down Society.

For those of you who want to set up early, there will be someone at the ToadStock site from about 11:00am-8:00pm on Friday night.

No alcohol will be sold on site. Non-bikers are welcome. If you intend to participate in the mud wrestling, please be sure to bring a bathing suit.

How to get there?

Take Hwy 14 to Rawdon Gold Mines. When you reach the XTR gas station (it’s the only one), Valley Rd is directly across the street. Drive about 5 kms (this road is a little on the rough side) to stop sign. Turn right at stop onto Hwy 202. ToadStock site will be about 1 km up on the left. The civic number is 1141 Hwy 202 (or West Gore Rd).

Biker’s Down is throwing an old fashioned biker party this August. Combined with our ever-popular Toad Memorial Poker Run, ToadStock is the do-not-miss biker event of the summer. So pack a tent and join us in Gore. There will be mud wrestling, a wet T-shirt contest, and live music. All proceeds go to the Biker’s Down Society – a great cause.

Support our fallen brethren!

On June 26th Biker’s Down invites you to join us on our Memorial Ride With The Angels. We are hosting this ride in remembrance of all the bikers who have passed away since 2006.

The ride leaves Riding In Style Leather in Sackville at noon. We will be riding up the #1 highway to Lakelands, then turning left onto highway #214 to Enfield Road and then left onto the #2 to Fall river Road. Finally it’s onto Cobequid Road to Sackville Drive and back to Riding In Style Leather for a Bikers Down Barbecue Social and music by The Jimi Show called Memories. We will be accepting donations to the Bikers Down Society at this time, so be sure to bring a donation to support this great cause. All are welcome. Hope to see you on June 26th!

The Bikers Down Memorial Ride With The Angels is a motorcycle ride in honour of our brothers and sisters who have passed and now are the Angels who are riding with us forever.

Bikers Down Society-Toad Memorial Fund has just completed its third year of operation and has been very well received by the motorcycling community.This year we even added more clubs to help raise money or just volunteer.A special thanks to the Darksiders who helped with the Toad Memorial ride in August as well as raising money for our Society. We have had other clubs donate money and time also and we would like to thank them all.

There were three main functions again in fundraising activities in this fiscal period.They included the
Annual Memorial Dance in March 2010,the 2010 Toad Memorial Poker Run in August 2010 and the draw for the 250 Hyosung motorbike in September at the Wharf Rat Rally.

Once again members and volunteers traveled to numerous events to sell tickets on the bike and t-shirts.
We now also sell t-shirts and all tickets at Riding In Style Leather/Beccas Boutique where the next bike
is on display for all to see and even sit on it.Bikers Down Society along with Riding In Style Leather will
be having a Friday Night Bikers Down bike Night at 528 Sackville Drive starting at a date to be announced from 6-9pm where hot dogs,pop,water,coffee will be available for a donation to help raise awareness and money for the Society.

We will continue to work on our policies to change our bylaws to reflect who we need to become.Bikers Down has had an article written in the Bedford ,Sackville ,Halifax,and Dartmouth community news.We also had coverage on CBC radio with an interview of Bikers Down Chairman Jimi Swinamer.

For the upcoming year we must continue our push for public awareness and government support to make our roads more motorcycle friendly.
