2026 Can-Am Ride Days to Take Place Across North America this May and June

Can-Am Ride Days provide an opportunity for new and returning riders alike to experience riding a three-wheeled vehicle guided by certified instructors on a closed course. Can-Am Ride Days is going on across North America this May and June and invites riders to come out for a test ride of a Can-Am three-wheeled vehicle, even if you’ve never ridden before. These events are operated in collaboration with Can-Am’s network of Rider Education Program partners and the Motorcycle Safety Foundation. Ride Days take place on closed courses and are led by certified instructors to provide expert guidance. A three-wheel license is not required to participate in the event, with the exception of the state of Ohio requiring a Temporary Instruction Permit Identification Card. All you’ll need to bring is a jacket or long-sleeve shirt, pants, and closed-toe shoes. A helmet and gloves will be provided. “At Can-Am, we know that firsthand riding experiences can make all the difference in helping people discover the confidence, comfort, and fun that comes with 3-wheels,” said Marc-Olivier Drouin, senior manager of marketing, Can-Am 3-Wheel Vehicles & Motorcycles at BRP. “Can-Am Ride Days is about lowering barriers to entry, creating meaningful trial opportunities, and helping more people feel empowered to get out and ride.” In the U.S., Ride Days are scheduled in 16 states this year, as well as a few locations in Canada. Most courses will only have the Can-Am Ryker available to ride, although some locations may offer other models. The Ryker is Can-Am’s entry-level three-wheel vehicle introduced in 2019 and powered by either a 50-hp 600cc parallel-Twin or an 82-hp 900cc inline-Triple, depending on model. The Ryker also has the most accessible price point of Can-Am’s three-wheelers, starting at $9,699 for 2026. Riders can reserve their Ride Day spot on the Can-Am website. Most Ride Days are open from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and invite riders to drop by anytime during the event.

Death of David Allen Coe A True Outlaw A Look At His Life

David Allan Coe, the ultimate Outlaw Country legend and true outlaw biker, has passed away at 86. In this tribute video we break down his incredible life — from prison to Nashville stardom, writing massive hits like “Take This Job and Shove It,” and living the real 1%er lifestyle that defined the golden age of motorcycling. We dive deep into the interview where Coe talks about the “rub invasion” of the mid-90s, how Harley-Davidson turned its back on the outlaw image that built the brand, and the difference between real scooter tramps and weekend warriors. If you grew up riding ironheads, panheads, and living the biker life before Sons of Anarchy made it fashionable, this one hits hard. Gray beards and old school riders — this is for you. Rest in Power, DAC. One of the last true outlaws who never sold out.
