Gettysburg Bike Week Finalizes 2016 Schedule
Based in SoCal, MO is sometimes accused of ignoring moto events on the East Coast. So, when we got this PR about GBW, some of us hadn’t even heard of it. Well, it turns out the rally will be celebrating its 15th anniversary this year and, according to media reports, has enjoyed record attendance over the past few years. If you live in Pennsylvania, you might want to look in to this event. You can score a four-day pass for just $35 per person. Single-day passes are $15.

Like most of the best happenings in his life, Evans stumbled into his motojournalism career. While on his way to a planned life in academia, he applied for a job at a motorcycle magazine, thinking he’d get the opportunity to write some freelance articles. Instead, he was offered a full-time job in which he discovered he could actually get paid to ride other people’s motorcycles – and he’s never looked back. Over the 25 years he’s been in the motorcycle industry, Evans has written two books, 101 Sportbike Performance Projects and How to Modify Your Metric Cruiser, and has ridden just about every production motorcycle manufactured. Evans has a deep love of motorcycles and believes they are a force for good in the world.
