Synopsis:

From a small get-together in the early years of the twentieth century to an annual gathering of hundreds of thousands, discover the uncanny history and characters of Laconia Motorcycle Week.

Laconia Motorcycle Week is the oldest national motorcycle rally in the United States. Since 1916, motorcyclists have traveled to the Lakes Region of New Hampshire to enjoy the beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains. In 1916, the sport of motorcycling had just begun, and the enthusiasm and participation has continued to grow exponentially throughout the years. As the oldest rally, Laconia Motorcycle Week has certainly seen the good times and the bad times. Since 1998, Laconia Motorcycle Week has averaged over 300,000 visitors into New Hampshire every June. The rally is made up of hundreds of individual motorcycle-related events throughout the state of New Hampshire.

About the Author: Charlie St. Clair and Jennifer Anderson have worked for the nonprofit Laconia Motorcycle Week Association for over a decade and have committed themselves to educating visitors and residents about the community of motorcycling. Laconia Motorcycle Week is a tribute to motorcyclists all over the world. The images in this book have come from the private collections of many people who have played a major part in keeping the history of motorcycles and Laconia Motorcycle Week alive.
