Oklahoma motorcycle events, rallies and bike nights
Oklahoma motorcycle events are mostly local: bike nights in Tulsa and Oklahoma City, charity rides and toy runs, Route 66 gatherings and fall foliage rides on the Talimena. For a big rally, Oklahoma riders head to Bikes, Blues & BBQ in Arkansas, the Lone Star Rally in Texas or Sturgis in South Dakota. Here's the calendar, and how to find and post events in the free Rippin' app.

- Lone Star RallyGalveston, Texas, usually in November. A long day south, so many Oklahoma riders make a trip of it through the Texas Hill Country. Check the organizer for dates.
- Sturgis Motorcycle RallySturgis, South Dakota, every August. A two-day ride north for most Oklahomans, through Kansas and Nebraska. Book lodging early.
- Distinguished Gentleman's RideEvery May, riders dress sharp on classic and vintage-style bikes and ride to raise money for men's health. Tulsa and Oklahoma City usually hold rides. Register on the DGR site for dates and routes.
- Route 66 gatheringsRoute 66 was created in November 1926, and towns along the Oklahoma stretch, Tulsa especially, mark the road with festivals, car and bike shows and themed rides. Check local tourism sites for what's on.

Bike nights, charity rides and track days in Oklahoma
Bike nights happen weekly at dealerships, bars and burger joints around Tulsa, Oklahoma City, Norman, Stillwater and Lawton. In summer many start later in the evening to dodge the heat.
Charity rides and poker runs are a big part of the Oklahoma calendar, especially in spring and fall. The classic version has riders collect a card at each stop and the best hand wins. Read what a motorcycle poker run is.
Fall foliage rides to the Talimena Byway and Beavers Bend fill late October and early November weekends, whether or not anyone posts them as an event.
Track days. If you want to ride fast, do it on a track. Hallett Motor Racing Circuit near Jennings, west of Tulsa, is a long-running road course that has hosted motorcycle track days. Check its calendar for this year's schedule.

Oklahoma's motorcycle event calendar, by season
Spring (March to May): Charity rides and poker runs return, and the Distinguished Gentleman's Ride lands in May. It's also storm season, so outdoor events get moved or cancelled on short notice.

Fall (September to November): The best stretch. Bikes, Blues & BBQ in September, Talimena foliage rides in late October and early November, and the Lone Star Rally in Texas in November.
Winter (December to February): Toy runs in December, then mostly indoor meets and dry-day rides. See the best time to ride in Oklahoma.

- Confirm the date and entry with the organizer the week before. Plans change.
- Check the radar in spring. Hail and high winds build fast on the plains.
- Plan for tolls. Oklahoma's turnpikes are cashless, so use a tag or take the free roads.
- Ride home in daylight. Deer are hardest to see at dusk on rural roads.
- Share a ride plan with your squad so everyone knows the departure time, route and stops.
