OYSTER RUN 2026 IS THIS SUNDAY!
Helpful Tips & Eastside Crew Favorites below 👇
Tomorrow, thousands of motorcycles roll into Anacortes for the 43rd Annual Oyster Run. Whether this is your first Oyster Run or your 43rd, here are a few tips from the crew at Eastside Harley-Davidson before you head out.
A FEW TIPS FROM US:
• T-Clocs your bike! That means check your tires, controls, lights/electronics, oil/other fluids, chassis, and stand to keep you safe.
• Get an early start. Anacortes fills up fast and there is lots to see. You’ll also need the extra time ESPECIALLY if you’re taking the ferry.
• Dress in layers and pack rain gear.
• Give yourself plenty of time and extra following distance.
• Watch for cars and motorcycles everywhere, especially as you get closer to Anacortes.
• Hydrate, grab some food and take your time walking downtown.
• Support the local spots and businesses that welcome riders year after year checkout oysterrun.org for biker-friendly businesses.
• Ride your own ride. There’s no prize for getting there first — getting home safe is what matters.
