Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox recurring event The Friday the 13th Motorcycle Rally is a motorcycle rally held every Friday the 13th[1] in Port Dover, Ontario, Canada since 1981.[2] Its typical summer attendance exceeds 100,000 bikers.[3]

Attendance

The event has been described as "the biggest single-day motorcycle event in the world,"[4] a title also claimed by the Rolling Thunder rally in the United States.[5] Although hundreds of attendees arrive during winter months,[4][6][7] attendance is at its highest when the date falls on a summer day. In August 2010, the rally drew more than 150,000 attendees.[8] Estimates for the July 2012 event ranged from 90,000 to more than 170,000.[9][10][11][12]

Guinness World Record attempt

An attempt in 2008 to surpass the previous Guinness world record for the largest motorcycle parade failed due to a technicality. More than 10,000 motorcycles would have exceeded the record set in 2006 by the Republic of Texas Biker Rally.[13][14] Although the organizers were able to document participation by more than 12,000 motorcycles at Port Dover,[14] they entered through multiple portals to the city and were disqualified by Guinness as a single parade.[15]
