Our very own Chopper Dave was once again at the Thunder by the Bay 2026 “28th” Annual Thunder by the Bay Music & Motors Festival as it rolled in loud and proud—chrome gleaming, pipes cracking, and a sea of iron stretching block after block. It’s the kind of rally where the air smells like race fuel and leather, bands shake the pavement, and every corner delivers killer bikes, gritty choppers, and riders living it full throttle. The best part? The mix of old-school soul and modern muscle—custom builds, vendor rows stacked with gear, and that electric crowd that makes you feel like you’re exactly where you belong. It’s not just an event… it’s a full-on biker experience that hits hard and sticks with you long after the engines cool.
