Badger Bash 2025 Event – Benefiting the Wrecked Rider Fund

Join us for a full week of fun on and off the bike.

 

June 22 – 28, 2025
Eureka Springs, Arkansas

This year we decided to do an event at a central location where all members of Support Bikers could come together to hang out.
Plans include getting wet and dirty, relaxing, exploring, riding and hanging out with other Support Bikers Members.

Family is invited, but be mindful this is a biker event. As always, our family will be there too.

We’ve blocked rooms at a hotel we picked (biker owned and on the Support Bikers Map) and have suggested a location for camping as well. 

There will be a registration fee that will be for goody bag just like we did in the past and any proceeds will go to the National Wrecked Rider Fund.

We are super excited to finally do an event with everyone that doesn’t require a lot of work on our part and allows us to spend time with you.

If you can’t make it, but would still like to help donate to the Wrecked Rider Fund, you can donate to help a fellow biker here.

– Sonny and Angie
