Americade is a week-long motorcycle rally that is held during the first full week of June. The headquarters and location of many rally activities are in Lake George village, New York. The event is open to all motorcyclists and brand and type of motorcycles, and in the late 1990s attracted around 50,000 people annually,〔 which grew to over 60,000 by 2007.〔 Americade is billed by its organizer as the "World's Largest Motorcycle Touring Rally", and is distinguished from events such as Daytona Bike Week by its emphasis on motorcycle touring and by its organization and peacefulness.〔〔 Attendees participate in demo rides from all of the major manufacturers, boat cruises, motorcycle judging, and group rides called "MiniTours" to various destinations in New York and Vermont. Americade also offers a large motorcycle trade show, TourExpo, located in two locations in Lake George: Million Dollar Beach and The Forum. ==History== May 1983 was the first "cade" in the east coast. Veteran motorcyclist (a Harvard graduate), and a small staff, hosted "Aspencade East" in Lake George, NY.〔 The event's headquarters were at Roaring Brook Ranch, from which most of the demo rides departed. The TourExpo tradeshow was held at the Glens Falls Civic Center, approximately to the south. This first event drew over 2,000.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Americade」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
