Honda Hoot June 18-21, 2008 . Knoxville, Tennessee Presented by Everyone’s favorite motorcycle event just got even better! And this year the Hoot is bigger and better than ever, Welcome to the Honda Hoot... let the adventure begin! with great new events and rides and more fantastic prizes, because this is the Hoot’s 15th anniversary. If this is your first Hoot, this brochure will give you For the last 15 years, riders from all across America have counted the days until the an idea of what you can look forward to. Even if this middle of June rolls around. Why? It’s not because that’s when the kids are out of is your 15th Hoot, you’ll still be delighted by the fun school. It’s not even when the IRS sends out tax-refund checks. No, the middle of additions that have joined your favorite rides and hap- June brings one of the best motorcycle events of the entire year—the Honda Hoot®. penings, plus all the great roads and camaraderie that are a part of every Honda Hoot. You don’t have to take our word for it either; the Southeast Tourism Society recently selected the annual Honda Hoot rally as a “Top 20 Event” in this part of the country—high praise indeed! While the official name is the Honda Hoot presented by Progressive Insurance, everyone’s welcome, no matter what kind of bike you ride, and whether it’s new or old. By the end of your week here, you’ll have seen bikes you never knew existed. There are plenty of planned events at the Hoot: group rides, tours, and things like that. And there’s plenty of free time too, so you can just explore, shop or kick some tires and check out the bikes. And everyone who has ever been to the Hoot talks about the food—Southern cookin’ at its very best. Show up with every minute planned, or show up with no plan at all— at the Hoot, it’s all good, and a great time will be had. Savvy Hoot riders know it pays to register early and sign up as a full Hoot registrant: Most events and rides are open only to those who are fully registered. This includes the closing ceremonies at the end of the event, which will feature the 15th Anniversary Grand Prize: a trip for two to the 2009 MotoGP of Japan, held at the Twin Ring Motegi racetrack, also home to Honda’s incredible Motegi Collection Hall Museum, where you’ll see the most amazing collection of production and racing machines in the world. Fifteen years ago we had no idea the Honda Hoot would draw so many riders from so many parts of the country. Isn’t it about time you experienced what all the Hootin’ and hollering is about? Honda Hoot . June 18-21, 2008 . Knoxville, Tennessee . www.hondahoot.com 03 At the Honda Hoot, you can always find something that’s just right for you. It’s the time Southern hospitality— Honda Hoot style! and place for big parties and fun gatherings. When you arrive in Knoxville on Tuesday, there’s the Honda Hoot Welcome Party at the Marriott Hotel. Live music, dancing, food and drinks will be available at this “beach party” event. You can also pick up your preregistration materials here. We’ll even throw in some Hoot Bucks to help get your own personal party rolling. From Wednesday through Saturday, we have a Riverboat Cruise and Breakfast on the Star of Knoxville, which departs from Volunteer Landing and cruises the Tennessee River. Late Wednesday afternoon, enjoy the Ice Cream Social in Chilhowee Park and watch the Knoxville Police Motor Corps Riding Exhibition. This is also a great time to check out the Vendor Expo and pick up some accessories. That evening, hop on over to the Hoot & Holler at Cotton Eyed Joe. They have blackjack and Texas hold ’em, dance-team performances, dance lessons if you need them and a live band. It’s another popular gathering, and there’s no cover charge for Hoot attendees. On Thursday, head over to Bike Night at the World’s Fair. It’s held at World’s Fair Park in downtown Knoxville. There’ll be a live band with dancing, as well as vendors selling food and drinks, plus carnival activities and more. And while you’re there, check out the Metric Motorcycle Show. All metric models are eligible to be displayed and compete in 2008, so polish up your rig and wheel ’er in! Friday brings another brand-new event: A Party on the Landing. Stretched along the banks of the Tennessee River, Volunteer Landing is the perfect spot for a nighttime party. There’ll be plenty of great barbecue available for purchase, plus music and dancing. And our spectacular Fire in the Sky Fireworks will be launched from the river, creating an incredible show and ending this awesome party with a bang. Saturday features the biggest party of the week, the Hoot Closing Ceremony, including a Hoot Concert with Wynonna Judd. (This exclusive concert is available only to full registrants and only to the first 6000 who register for the Hoot.) To top that off, we’re featuring a truly amazing Honda Hoot 15th Anniversary Grand Prize (see more details on page 9). Remember, to win you must be a full registrant, you must be present and you must have your ticket stub with you. Parties and fun. That’s just how we do it at the Honda Hoot! 04 Honda Hoot . June 18-21, 2008 . Knoxville, Tennessee . www.hondahoot.com Party time! Back roads with limitless possibilities On Wednesday, there’s a new event for 2008: Ghost Town in the Sky. Enjoy a scenic ride to this Every single day, someplace new to ride. mountain-top Wild West theme park in Maggie Valley, North Carolina, which offers thrilling rides (including the world’s only roller coaster located, literally, on the side of a mountain), gunfights (using blanks, of course), live music and shows, plus lunch, all within an authentic reproduction of a Western You’ve probably seen the T-shirt: “How come you never see a motorcycle parked ghost town. Also on Wednesday there’s the popular Cherohala Skyway Ride. This is a spectacular self- outside a psychiatrist’s office?” Well, if you don’t know the answer to that guided trip (including lunch), and you can ride at your own pace on one of the greatest roads you’ll already, you will after a couple of days at the Honda Hoot. Here’s a rundown on ever ride, with elevations that climb over a mile high. some of our favorite rides for 2008. Thursday’s Capes and Cavern Ride is another new event. Polish up your Bat Bike for your ride to the largest cave in Tennessee, where you might even encounter some caped crusaders. You’ll start your explorations with a quarter-mile walk down into the caverns (always a naturally cool 56 degrees!) past rock formations, waterfalls and pools to the ballroom, where lunch and some surprises await. There’s also the Cumberland Gap Ride on Thursday. This self-guided ride covers some spectacular countryside, and in town you’ll witness a Civil War reenactment on the main street. A great mountain lunch is included. On Friday, we have three great rides in store for you to pick from, including the new-for-2008 Bikes and Boats at the Lake. Enjoy this great self-guided ride to Lenoir City and Fort Loudon Dam, which stretches 4190 feet across the Tennessee River. There, representatives from Honda Marine will greet you with boats and watercraft rides. Enjoy a leisurely lunch while lounging under the shade trees, and remember: it’s OK to lounge, so stay a while. Another Friday ride is a longtime Hoot favorite: The Poker Run, a charity fundraiser benefiting the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation. Even if you’re not a gambler, you’re raising money for a great cause, and the ride itself is always a treat. Last year we introduced Beans, Beans and More Beans, an event that was a real gas, so to speak. So in 2008 we’ll reprise our exclusive tour of the world-famous Bush Beans plant, including lunch. Last year was the first time in history that the Bush company opened its doors to the public. It was an instant sellout, so sign up early as 2008 will be the 100th anniversary of Bush’ founding. Finally, on Saturday there’s the Ride For Kids, always a big favorite at the Hoot. As you probably know, the Ride For Kids is the official charity of the Honda Rider’s Club of America, and the proceeds from this ride help benefit research and treatment for children suffering from brain tumors. A little later on Saturday is the Best Dam Ride and Fish Fry, a real Hoot classic. This one sells out every year, and once you’ve tasted that catfish lunch you’ll know why. The magic of Norris Dam can be wonderful. Honda Hoot . June 18-21, 2008 . Knoxville, Tennessee . www.hondahoot.com 07 H o n d a R i d e r ’s C l u b o f A m e r i c a M e m b e r s - O n l y E ve n t Hey batter, batter... Every year at the Hoot we feature a special event just for Honda Rider’s Club of America Members. And for 2008 we have a great one lined up. What’s just about the best way to spend a lazy summer afternoon? Well, how about combining a terrific self-guided motorcycle ride with a great baseball game? You’ll be treated to an exclusive matchup of the Tennessee Smokies against the Mobile Bay Bears. (Seven Smokies were called up to the Majors in 2007.) And we’ll have some other activities before the game, just for the HRCA Members present. The Smokies are an affiliate team of the Chicago Cubs, and as a Hoot attendee and HRCA Member you’re going to get the red-carpet treatment. First, you’ll be treated to a VIP lunch—and that’s after you ride into a dedicated area in the stadium parking lot to exclusive motorcycle-only parking. During the game, you’ll be sitting in a special section near third base—an area where some special former Major League players have been known to drop by. You’ll also get a special commemorative cap. And one lucky Hoot attendee who registers for this event will be asked to throw out the first pitch! 08 Honda Hoot . June 18-21, 2008 . Knoxville, Tennessee . www.hondahoot.com Choices, choices, choices: Demo Rides and more! Demo Rides are a favorite event at every Honda Hoot, and it’s easy to see why. Of course Honda will be there with new bikes; we’ll hand you the keys, and take you out for a spin— what’s not to love about that? Make sure you sign up early on the day you want to ride. (As part of the 15th-anniversary celebration, the Hoot will focus on Honda-related products and services. All attendees on any make and model of motorcycle are encouraged and invited to attend the Hoot, but only Honda products will be available for Demo Rides.) And best of all, it’s included in your registration. In addition to the great riding, there’s lots more going on at the Hoot. Some old favorites include discounted tickets to one of the great local attractions, such as Black Bear Jamboree, Country Tonite, Dixie Stampede, Dollywood Themepark and Knoxville Zoo. There’s even White Water Rafting on the Pigeon River. For 2008, we’ve added a new attraction, WonderWorks, which began as a top-secret facility on a remote island, or so the story goes. An experiment went awry during an attempt to harness a man-made tornado. Well, let’s just say there are 120 interactive, hands-on exhibits awaiting you, and your mind will be blown away by many of them. There is also a Hoot n’ Holler Dinner Show featuring music, comedy and an Italian feast. You have several ticket options available. So many choices, all in one Hoot! Leave the Hoot with a song in your heart You’ve heard some great performers over the years here at the Hoot, but for 2008 we’re kicking it up a notch. Or two. Or three. Or perhaps 15! You’ll never guess who we have lined up. Ladies and gentlemen, the one and only Wynonna Judd will be performing in concert at a special private Honda Hoot performance, live at the Civic Coliseum as part of our closing ceremonies. Wynonna’s music goes way beyond Country: she’s one of America’s most popular performers, and if you’ve never seen her in concert this is your chance. Respected by millions of fans who are drawn to her music and her life story, this world-renowned vocalist and entertainer has won the Academy of Country Music’s Top Female Vocalist Award and celebrated 20 number one hits on the charts. She has also been honored with the USO’s Merit Award for service to all branches of the United States armed forces. In 2005 she added the New York Times best-selling author title to her already extraordinary resumé with the release of her autobiography, Come Home to Myself. Only the first 6000 fully registered Hoot attendees are eligible to attend Wynonna, in Concert. It’s all part of our 15th-anniversary Honda Hoot celebration and you won’t want to miss it. A very special Honda Hoot 15th Anniversary Grand Prize Everyone who’s ever been to a Honda Hoot knows about the Grand Prize drawing at the end of the festivities. But this year we’re going to outdo ourselves: To celebrate this year’s 15th anniversary of the Honda Hoot, we’re awarding one incredible 15th Anniversary Grand Prize. What is it? How about a trip to Japan where Mr. Honda’s dream began. This exclusive trip for two will take you to the world-famous Twin Ring Motegi racetrack in Japan for three days of the ultimate race-fan adventure during the 2009 MotoGP World Championship Grand Prix. Here, you’ll be able to experience the race and the amazing Motegi Collection Hall Museum. This prize, for two, includes coach airfare from an airport near your home to a U.S. departure city, Business Class travel between that airport and Japan, hotel accommodations (double occupancy), most meals, and of course, some very special souvenirs. You’ll also be staying in Tokyo for two nights. If you’re selected as the winner of this prize, make sure your passport is up to date and pinch yourself twice—this will certainly be the trip of a lifetime. And you will receive Honda VIP treatment everywhere you go! With so many wonderful things on tap, the 2008 Honda Hoot will obviously be the greatest Hoot ever, so sign up early and reserve your space for this grand adventure.
