Revving Up for a Record: Harley-Davidson of Utica Aims for 400-Bike Burnout

Local motorcycle history might be made this weekend in Utica. On Saturday September 19th, Harley-Davidson of Utica is putting out a massive call to action to round up 400 riders to the World’s Largest Motorcycle Burnout.

The current world record is help in the Philippines and stands at 300.

More importantly, the event honors the late Vincent Grasso, a beloved former colleague who passed away in June.

Every single dollar of the $10 rider entry fee goes straight to the Let’s Ride Challenge: Ride for Heroes. Biker or not, this event is sure to grab attention.

Harley Davidson Of Utica is setting up concrete barriers for stability and rolling out a 25-person support and training team on-site.
