All Roads Lead to Motorcycle Week

Be prepared for the prelude to June 9 Laconia Motorcycle Week, which will include lots of loud traffic.

This week, all roads lead to Bike Week in Laconia, which means you should expect to see more two-wheeled traffic coming from all corners of the state, transforming New Hampshire into a true motorcycle mecca.

Weirs Beach on Lake Winnipesaukee will be hosting the 89th annual Motorcycle Week from June 9 to 16 β€” consistently one of the country's most popular bike rallies, according to this Associated Press story.

If you are going, you probably already know you can find everything you need at the official Laconia Bike Week website, including the schedule of events, where you can camp out or find a place to stay (good luck at this late date) and a vendor list.

If you're not going, you probably know the drill – many people take advantage of this week to come up early and see the sights, which means the possibility of heavy motorcycle traffic just about everywhere. This is a good time to remind everyone to be especially careful when driving that you share the road and proceed with caution.
