Motorcycle Madness Rolls Into Wichita
June 10 - Big Dog Motorcycles is celebrating a big milestone. The company rolled out its 20,000th motorcycle this week. It's all part of this year's Tornado Rally. The event is bringing bikers from all across America to downtown Wichita this weekend.
More than 30,000 people are expected to attend the Tornado Rally, twice the turnout Big Dog saw last year. It features more than 100 vendors selling everything from cycles, clothes and even music. Eddie Money is the feature act on Saturday night and there are are several activities planned throughout the weekend.
Big Dog Motorcycles has been in business twelve years. While the Tornado Rally hasn't been around that long, it's an event that just keeps growing. What started with 3,000 bikers three years ago has now grown to 30,000. In just a few years, Big Dog plans triple that number.
