Shine On For Shelby – Ride to Shine Observation Run
2025-09-14 10:30 - 17:00 | Berville Lions Club, 13651 Hough Rd, Berlin Township, MI, United States
Shine On For Shelby – Ride to Shine Observation Run
Honoring Shelby’s Light – 9th Annual Ride to Shine Run
Every year in the United States, more than 16,000 people are lost to homicide. For families and friends, the greatest fear after such a tragedy is that their loved one will be forgotten.
On October 26, 2014, Shelby Fazio was brutally murdered. She was only 23 years old — but in her short time, she touched thousands of lives. To those who knew her, Shelby will never be forgotten. But her family and friends wanted to make sure that millions more could know the brightness, kindness, and energy she brought to the world.
The Shine On For Shelby campaign was created to carry her light forward.
Shelby’s Life and Legacy
Shelby’s story is not about her tragic death — it’s about how she lived.

She overcame a debilitating illness.
She graduated high school and college with honors.
She traveled the world, went diving with sharks, and even worked at Walt Disney World, proudly calling Mickey Mouse her “boss.”
She gave back constantly — volunteering at food banks, homeless shelters, nursing homes, veterans homes, Ronald McDonald Houses, wildlife centers, and more.
She held leadership roles in Key Club and Circle K, inspiring others through service.
She supported global causes like UNICEF, Kids Against Hunger, the Eliminate Project, and African wildlife conservation.

By 23, Shelby had accomplished more than many achieve in a lifetime. Most importantly, she always made time for her family, her friends, and her beloved dog, Azaia.
Her family and community want her to be remembered not for the crime that took her life, but for the love, joy, and service that defined it.
Shine On For Shelby
The Shine On For Shelby campaign was launched to turn tragedy into hope. Each October, people are encouraged to honor Shelby by volunteering or donating to causes she cared about, including:

No-kill animal shelters
Canine advocacy programs
Wildlife and nature conservation
Homeless shelters
Victim advocacy programs
Food banks

The idea is simple: keep Shelby’s light shining by doing good in her memory.
The Ride to Shine
One of the most powerful ways this mission comes alive is through the Ride to Shine Observation Run, an annual motorcycle event held in her honor. Riders gather to support the Shine On movement, raise funds, and spread awareness while enjoying a day on Michigan’s scenic roads.
Michigan Motorcycle Event Details
In just a few years, the ride has raised thousands of dollars for programs that reflect Shelby’s passions and values. The Ride to Shine Observation Run takes place on Sunday, September 14, 2025 at the Berville Lions Club, 13651 Hough Rd, Berlin Township, Michigan.

Registration and Kickoff: Morning check-in at 10:30 am to 12 noon at the the Lions Club. After registration, riders head out together

The Ride: An observation-style run with multiple scenic stops along the way

The Finish: Everyone returns to the Lions Club for raffles, prizes, fundraising, and a community celebration

The event was started by Shelby’s Uncle Brian and continues today under the Shine On For Shelby campaign, which works year-round to support causes that mattered to her, including animal shelters, nature conservation, food banks, and victim advocacy.
Why Riders Join
Riders come from all over to be part of Shine On For Shelby because this event blends what bikers love — the open road and camaraderie — with something bigger:

Honoring the memory of Shelby
Supporting causes that mattered to her
Showing the strength and heart of the motorcycle community

It’s a chance to make every mile mean more.
Keep Shelby’s Light Alive
Shelby’s story reminds us that one person’s light can inspire countless others. By riding, volunteering, or donating, you help ensure that her spirit continues to shine.
The Ride to Shine Observation Run is open to all who want to ride with purpose and stand for something greater.
Join us. Ride for Shelby. Ride for hope. Ride to keep the light shining.

The Ride to Shine Observation Run is organized by the Shine On For Shelby campaign, which was created by Shelby Fazio’s family and friends after her passing.
The event itself was first started by Shelby’s Uncle Brian, and he remains a key organizer and driving force behind the ride. Today, it continues under the broader Shine On For Shelby foundation and volunteer team, who keep her legacy alive through both the annual ride and community service initiatives.

What’s Happening

Live 98.5 UPS Bike Night Energy
The Classic Hits station caps its tour with an in-person grand finale—crowd buzz, giveaways, and that familiar voice on the mic sending the season off right.
Big-Ticket Prize Action
This is the party where the headline drawings happen. Past seasons have featured an Arc Audio motorcycle sound system, a 3-day Christmas trip to Chicago, and a Toro Zero-Turn riding mower—the kind of “I can’t believe I just won this” energy that packs the lot.
Showroom Vibes & Two-Wheel Camaraderie
Chrome and custom paint line the curb while riders circulate through Holeshot’s showroom—checking new models, swapping ride stories, and grabbing photos with friends before the winter nap.
Meet Partners & Supporters
You’ll see the regional names that back Michigan riders—from dealership staff to community sponsors (including Jason, The Motorcycle Lawyer®) who support safety, advocacy, and the local motorcycle scene.

Why Holeshot Harley-Davidson Is the Perfect Host
Holeshot Harley-Davidson (4741 E Pickard St, Mount Pleasant) sits right off M-20 near US-127—easy in, easy out. As Central Michigan’s Harley hub, Holeshot pulls riders from Mount Pleasant, Clare, Alma, Shepherd, Rosebush, and beyond. The dealership’s crew knows how to run a rally: clear parking flow, rider-first hospitality, and a showroom that keeps the energy high even when the sun dips.
Make a Day Of It

Pre-/Post-Ride Loops: Run a country-road warm-up west toward Lake Isabella or loop south along Mission Rd for smooth sweepers before you hit the party.
Nearby Anchors: Central Michigan University adds college-town buzz; Soaring Eagle Casino & Resort and downtown Mount Pleasant give you post-event food and entertainment options.
Parking & Arrival: Finale nights get busy. Roll in a bit early to stage with your crew, grab your tickets, and scope the prize setup.

Motown Harley-Davidson Tailgate Party Motorcycle Event
2025-09-06 11:00 - 16:00 | Motown Harley-Davidson, 14100 Telegraph Rd, Taylor, Michigan, 48180, United States
Motown Harley-Davidson Tailgate Party — Taylor, Michigan (Motorcycle Event & Rally Vibes)
Ride In. Kick Back. Tailgate, Motor City Style.
On Saturday, September 6, 2025 (11:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.), the Motown Harley-Davidson Tailgate Party turns Taylor, Michigan’s Downriver corridor into a full-blown motorcycle event with rally energy—free tailgate eats, cheap beer, great music, games, prizes, and the game on in the showroom. It’s the perfect mid-season meet-up for riders who want an easy cruise, big dealership energy, and a game-day vibe under one roof.
What’s Happening

Tailgate Classics & Cold Drinks: Free lunch and a variety of ice-cold beverages set the tone for an easygoing afternoon with your crew.
Game On, Indoors: Watch the action on screens in the showroom—stadium atmosphere, air-conditioned comfort.
Music, Games & Prizes: Live tunes and party games keep the pace up; prize drawings add extra adrenaline (prizes are not valid on a motorcycle purchase).
21+ Event: Bring a valid ID, ride responsibly, and enjoy the afternoon with fellow riders.

Who’s Hosting — and Why That Matters
Motown Harley-Davidson (14100 Telegraph Rd, Taylor, MI) isn’t just any dealership—it’s a flagship anchor in Metro Detroit’s riding scene, owned by PVM Enterprises (Paul Veracka), one of the largest Harley-Davidson dealer groups in the country. That scale shows: bigger crowds, better event production, stronger vendor relationships, and a packed calendar that consistently pulls riders from Detroit, Dearborn, the Downriver communities, and beyond. For a Michigan motorcycle event that actually delivers on the promise of food, fun, and community, Motown’s Tailgate Party is a safe bet.
Why Taylor & Downriver Are Perfect for a Ride-In
This is a Downriver Detroit location with genuinely rider-friendly logistics: Telegraph Road (US-24) runs right past the dealership; I-94 and I-75 crisscross the area; Detroit Metro Airport (DTW) is just minutes away; Southland Center and Heritage Park sit close by for pre- or post-event hangs. Translation: easy access, plenty to do, and no-stress rally staging in the heart of Metro Detroit’s southern corridor.

Bikes on the Bricks — Flint’s Premier Motorcycle Rally
2025-09-05 - 2025-09-07 | Flint, MIchigan, Flint, MI, United States
Bikes on the Bricks — Flint, Michigan’s Premier Motorcycle Rally
Where History Meets Horsepower
Every September, downtown Flint, Michigan roars to life for Bikes on the Bricks, one of the Midwest’s premier motorcycle rallies. In 2025, the event runs September 5–7, transforming the historic brick-lined Saginaw Street into a showcase of steel, chrome, and community. What started in 2007 as a small, rain-soaked gathering of just 100 die-hard riders has grown into a three-day spectacle drawing thousands of bikers, spectators, and families into the heart of Vehicle City.
The Story Behind the Bricks
The idea was born in the fall of 2007 as a motorcycle companion to Back to the Bricks, Flint’s famous automotive event. Community leaders including Don Williamson (then Flint Mayor), Larry Ford (former Genesee County Chamber of Commerce President), Gary Hagler (Acting Flint Police Chief), and Ron Lonsway of Vehicle City Harley-Davidson pushed the concept forward. Lonsway teamed with Kirk Bowles (Forest City Cycle Works), Ed Henderson (Top End Cycle), and radio voice Jeff Wade of WRSR 103.9, and in just three weeks the first rally was held—complete with a fledgling police motorcycle skills competition.
From that chilly October day, the event has only grown. Today, Bikes on the Bricks is a Flint institution, combining bike shows, stunt acts, live music, charity rides, vendors, and of course, the renowned police competition. Proceeds from the escorted ride have supported local causes like the Old Newsboys of Flint, Hurley Medical Center, Friends of the Flint Police, Young Marines, and St. Luke NEW Life Center—proving that this event is as community-driven as it is adrenaline-filled.
What’s On in 2025

Police Motorcycle Skills Competition: All weekend long, elite officers from across the country demonstrate jaw-dropping control and balance. The finals hit on Sunday at 1:00 p.m.—a must-see highlight.
Ed Henderson Police-Escorted Charity Ride (Saturday): Kickstands up at 11:00 a.m. from Vehicle City Harley-Davidson. Intersections blocked, riders cruising together at safe speeds, and all proceeds donated to local charities.
Bike Show (Sunday): Registration runs 10 a.m.–1 p.m. at Saginaw & 4th Street. Awards follow the police finals. From radical customs to immaculate vintage machines, the variety is stunning.
Stunt Shows by the VCR Team: Adrenaline-fuelled exhibitions Saturday at noon & 5 p.m., and Sunday at noon & 3 p.m. Downtown streets become their arena.
Live Music & Entertainment: From the Jon Fett Quartet on Friday night to Perfect Stranger on Saturday and Jason Pyzik on Sunday afternoon, the soundtrack keeps the party alive.
Miss Bikes on the Bricks Pin-Up Contest: Saturday at 3 p.m.—a classic nod to motorcycle heritage with a modern community vibe.
Vendors, Merch & Beer Tent: Rows of gear, custom parts, apparel, and food vendors fill downtown. The beer tent stays open all weekend, serving as a social hub between shows and sets.

Why This Rally is Different
Bikes on the Bricks isn’t just about motorcycles—it’s about Flint. The event fuels downtown businesses, draws visitors from across Michigan and the Midwest, and celebrates the city’s resilience and spirit. Vehicle City Harley-Davidson serves as both a starting line and community cornerstone, while riders, police, and fans unite to share skills, stories, and support for local causes.
The balance of history, spectacle, and purpose makes Bikes on the Bricks unique: you’ll see artistry in custom machines, courage in police precision riding, community pride in the charity ride, and unity in the thousands who gather under Flint’s skyline.
Event Snapshot

Dates: September 5–7, 2025
Location: Downtown Flint, MI (centered on Saginaw Street)
Presented By: Bikes on the Bricks & Vehicle City Harley-Davidson
Signature Highlights: Police skills competition finals (Sunday), Ed Henderson Escorted Ride (Saturday from Vehicle City Harley-Davidson), Bike Show (Sunday), VCR stunt shows, live music, vendors, contests, and the beer tent

The Invitation
Bricks. Bikes. Brotherhood.
This September, put Flint on your ride map and be part of the roar. Bikes on the Bricks is more than a rally—it’s a living tradition built by riders, for riders, and for the community. Roll in for the escorted ride, line up for the bike show, cheer the stunts, and celebrate three full days of motorcycles, music, and Michigan pride.
Bring your bike. Bring your friends. Bring your voice to downtown Flint, September 5–7, 2025—when the streets come alive and the bricks themselves seem to rumble.

98.5 WUPS Bike Night at Horseshoe Bar in Marion, MI
2025-09-03 18:00 - 20:00 | Horseshoe Bar and Grill, 142 Main St, Marion, MI, 49665, United States
— Sponsored by Jason, The Motorcycle Lawyer®
A Night Where Marion Rumbles
On Wednesday, September 3, 2025, all eyes (and engines) turn to Marion, Michigan, as the Horseshoe Bar transforms into the hottest motorcycle destination of the summer. This isn’t just another midweek stop—it’s a community-powered, high-octane gathering where riders, neighbors, and music lovers collide for an unforgettable Bike Night.
The evening is fueled by 98.5 UPS, who will be spinning classic hits that hit just as hard as the rumble of your pipes rolling into the lot. Add in mouthwatering food from a beloved local spot and prizes worth revving for, and you’ve got a night built to be legendary.
What You Can Expect

Bikes, Bikes, and More Bikes – Marion’s streets will shine with chrome and custom paint as riders show off their pride and joy. From vintage cruisers to roaring baggers, the lineup itself is worth the ride.

Music That Moves You – 98.5 UPS delivers the soundtrack to the night, pumping out timeless classic rock and upbeat jams that fuel the vibe.

Big-Time Giveaways – The raffle is packed with head-turning prizes: an Arc Audio Motorcycle Sound System to amplify your rides, a three-day Christmas getaway to Chicago, and even a Toro Zero-Turn riding lawn tractor. These aren’t token prizes—they’re game-changers.

Meet Jason, The Motorcycle Lawyer® – Riders across Michigan know Jason as more than an attorney—he’s an advocate, a rider’s ally, and a trusted presence in the motorcycle community. Come shake his hand, share your story, and see why so many bikers rely on him when the unexpected happens.

Why This Bike Night Stands Out
Marion’s Horseshoe Bar offers the perfect backdrop for this kind of event. Known for its laid-back hospitality, hearty food, and biker-friendly space, it’s a local landmark where everyone feels welcome. On Bike Night, the atmosphere elevates: the parking lot becomes a living showroom, laughter and stories flow as easily as the drinks, and strangers become friends bound by a love of the ride.
This isn’t a cookie-cutter bar promo. It’s Marion’s night to shine—and for riders across the state to converge in celebration of freedom, community, and the open road.

The road leads to the Horseshoe Bar on September 3. We’ll see you in the lot.
