Imagine a huge Broken Spoke Saloon with hot barmaids and biker contests and four days of non-stop headliner entertainment transported from Sturgis to the heart of ‘The Big Easy,’ the one and only New Orleans.
Add one of the biggest Easyriders Shows and “authentic” New Orleans cooking and culture, including charity plantation and riverfront rides and famous chefs mixing it up with famous bike builders in the “Chrome Kitchen.”
This all-inclusive event presented by Bikeweek.com, the Broken Spoke Saloon and Easyriders Events, May 6th to 10th will feature negotiated hotel accommodations, quality food, drinks and rides, with a hub of activity and nightly shows at the New Orleans Broken Spoke.
“This will be more than a bike rally in New Orleans, this will be a New Orleans experience for bikers,” said Larry Oliphant, CEO of Bikeweek LLC/Bikeweek.com. “This will be a world class annual event in partnership with the City of New Orleans, State of Louisiana, Budweiser, Coca-Cola, Easyriders and of course the world famous Broken Spoke Saloon.
“No one throws a festival like New Orleans, and no one throws a party like Jay Allen and his Broken Spoke.”
Edgar Winter, BlackFoot, Farrell Webber Band, Aultimate Ozzy, Hells Bells (AC/DC tribute band), Seven Bridges Road (Eagles tribute band), and Houses of Holy (Led Zeppelin tribute band) have already been signed for this event.
The World’s Biggest Biker Bar, the Broken Spoke Saloon will be rolling its 18-wheelers into the ultimate party town to create the ultimate party in the French Quarter’s Warehouse District – complete with four days of live headliner music, dare devil and thrill shows, the Budweiser Burn Out, bike build offs and more.
The Louisiana Hospitality Foundation will be serving “authentic” New Orleans cuisine throughout the rally at “rally prices.”
No stranger to New Orleans, Jay has fond memories from his early 20’s when he was a “Lucky Dog” man, peddling Lucky Dog hot dogs and chili dogs on Bourbon & Toulouse street corners, and living “for cheap” in slave quarters on Esplanade Street.
“It’s my hope that we can all partake in the party, rides and events and share the birth of a tradition that will be around for many years to come,” said the famous bar owner. “The New Orleans Spoke will be in the perfect party spot, chock full of the hottest of wild bartenders and contests that are on the razor’s edge – hot, funny and tweaked!”
Across the street, rally goers will be able to check out one of the biggest Easyriders V-Twin shows of the 
year, being staged in the New Orleans Convention Center.

“Easyriders Events is proud to be part of the Bike Week New Orleans project,” said John Green, director of Easyriders Events. “It is a rare opportunity for us to be involved at ground level with a group as passionate about the Motorcycle lifestyle as we are.
“We have seen a recent shift in Motorcycle entertainment. With the new economy, people are looking for the same experience they find at Daytona and Sturgis close to their home turf.”
The New Orleans Easyriders Show will feature all the usual elements that make for a great show.
