“We are Kentucky Proud”
Welcome to the Kentucky Road Riders web site. We are part of the JMC Riders organization and welcome all brands of motorcycles.
The purpose of this site is to keep you informed of recent happenings within our state. Find out about Chapter meetings in your area, rallies and other state and chapter events. We hope you find this site informative and helpful.
The Blast
The 2025 Blast will be held August 14th through the 16th at General Butler State Park. The theme is “Riding, Rocking and Rolling”. We’ll have Dinner and a Casino on Friday night as well as The Charitables band providing live music. Don’t miss a chance to win the $300 Grand Prize at the closing on Saturday. This is in addition to the Rides, On Bike Games, RPM Classes, Team Challenges and other activities. See the registration form below for more information. Everyone is welcome and all motorcycle types are welcome!
The Charitables will be performing Friday night during the Casino. They are a group of dedicated philanthropist-minded musicians who created a band to provide live classic rock music (…along with a little blues) for the benefit of individuals, charities and non-profit organizations to help them with fundraising or to provide entertainment for the benefit of their needs. They do not charge a fee to play and are made up of musicians with over 30 years of combined musicianship! Their only goal is to benefit others with their talent and blessings!

Ride In
The 2025 Ride In is complete and was an awesome event. It was hosted by Chapter Y, they planned and led some great rides. The venue was fantastic and had everything we needed. The weather forecast prevented some people from riding but the area had lots of attractions for the people who drove. Thank you Chapter Y for a great event!
The State Team wants to thank everyone who attended. As with all of the State events, the events cannot be a success without the participants.
The 2026 Ride In will be hosted by Chapter C. Please check back later for more details.
Bingo Challenge
Welcome to the state-wide Kentucky Road Riders Bingo Challenge! It is simple to play and hopefully includes something for everyone. For more information on how to play, please see the Bingo Card below.
Passport Program
The Kentucky Passport Program was introduced at the 2023 OPS meeting and was well received so a new passport program was started at the 2025 OPS meeting. The purpose of the program is to encourage individuals to visit all of the chapters in the state. The program runs from the 2025 OPS Meeting to the 2026 OPS Meeting. Simply print the Passport and when you visit a chapter, have the Chapter Director (or Assistant Director) add their initials and date to the Passport. Everyone that visits all of the Chapters will be entered into a drawing for a prize at the 2026 OPS Meeting.
Kentucky Passport (contains 2 Passports per page)
