That Rumble Isn’t Thunder: Bikers Roar Back to Wildwood

[speed]

WILDWOOD — The rumblings heard in this city over the weekend won’t be caused by thunder.

The roar of hundreds of bikes will be heard throughout the Wildwoods, during the annual Roar to the Shore motorcycle rally.
Last year hundreds of bikers braved the effects of Hurricane Hanna and were able to raise over $13,000 for the local chapter of the United Way.

This year an estimated 100,000 bikes are expected during the Sept. 11-13 event.

In addition to the festive atmosphere and rows of bikes parked up and down nearly every street, the event’s official Roar to the Shore Web site boasts “organized rides, a slew of ven-dors” and contests, such as the “best biker babe.”

For some, the draw to buy motorcycle memorabilia is strong and many businesses are only too happy to receive the throngs of bikers, who were widely regarded as being “big spenders.”
