Brody Meier, one of the owners of Key City Harley-Davidson, shared details about the event during a recent interview. He explained that this year the dealership is taking a fresh approach. Instead of the traditional bike night format, they are rolling out a series of Ride-In events designed to bring riders together throughout the day while offering more opportunities to get involved in the fun.

The upcoming event takes place Saturday, June 27th, and runs all day, with the main activities scheduled from 11 AM to 3 PM. Visitors can expect live music from Chad Olson, along with free food provided by the "Olde Hixy" Smokehouse, including pulled pork and cheesy potatoes. Free beverages will also be available, and a variety of local vendors will be on site, giving guests a chance to explore products and connect with businesses in the area.

One of the standout features of this Ride-In is the on-site flash tattoo experience provided by The Crow’s Nest in Dubuque. Attendees can even sign up for a chance to win a tattoo and choose from a selection of flash designs. It adds a creative and unexpected twist to the typical dealership event and is expected to be a crowd favorite.

In addition to the entertainment, attendees will also have the opportunity to enter a giveaway for a brand-new 2026 Street Bob Solo motorcycle. Guests can scan a QR code at the event to register and earn up to five entries, increasing their chances to take home the bike. According to Meier, this giveaway is part of a broader effort to make the Ride-In series more interactive and rewarding for attendees.

This event is designed to celebrate both the motorcycles and the community that surrounds them. With food & brews, music, tattoos, vendors, and a major motorcycle giveaway all in one place, this Saturday’s Ride-In is shaping up to be a full-day destination for riders across the Tri-States; and I will be seeing you there!
