Bob Parsons might be known as the spirited founder of GoDaddy and one of the most prolific big party throwers in Arizona history, but in just one month the Valley will see a whole new side of Parsons when he kicks off one of his biggest biker events yet. Thousands are expected to attend.
The 1st Annual Bob’s Biker Blast will be held on October 20, 2012 at Harley-Davidson of Scottsdale and Go AZ Motorcycles from 10 a.m. to midnight. Parsons, who acquired both dealerships several years ago, has grown the business and is now giving back to the motorcycle community.
The all-day event will feature the grand-opening of Go AZ Motorcycles and Harley-Davidson of Scottsdale Training Facility, including public demonstrations of the first ever commercial application of a motorcycle simulator that was originally developed for the United States Military. Feel what it’s like to go at top speed and make hair pin turns, all within the safety of the motorcycle simulator.
“If you have never ridden a motorcycle before, this is your chance to get a really good idea of what it’s like without actually getting on a moving bike,” said Bob Parsons. “You won’t find a motorcycle simulator like this outside of a few military bases. We own the first commercial simulator and now we’re even hearing from private agencies who want to use it.”
The day-long event includes live music, food and activities at the dealerships as well as a special appearance by Tommy Flanagan, “Chibs” from Sons of Anarchy, from Noon to 7 p.m. Concert gates open at 4 p.m. featuring a Fear No Ice Thrill Show followed by a concert by rock legends 38 Special and George Thorogood.
Free admission to all riders with a motorcycle endorsement on their driver’s license. Endorsement is good for the rider plus one passenger. There will be a $20 fee for all non-riders with 100% of that being donated to the Phoenix Children’s Hospital.
Bob’s Biker Blast is located at the Harley-Davidson of Scottsdale and Go AZ Motorcycles dealerships just off Frank Lloyd Wright & the 101 at 15500 N. Hayden Road in Scottsdale, Arizona.
