Honda Hoot

Honda Hoot 

June 18-21, 2008 . Knoxville, Tennessee 

Presented by

Everyone ’ s favorite motorcycle event 

just got even better!

Welcome to the Honda Hoot... 

let the adventure begin! 

For the last 15 years, riders from all across America have counted the days until the 

middle of June rolls around. Why It’s not because that’s when the kids are out of 

school. It’s not even when the IRS sends out tax-refund checks. No, the middle of 

June brings one of the best motorcycle events of the entire year—the Honda Hoot®. 

And this year the Hoot is bigger and better than ever, 

with great new events and rides and more fantastic prizes, 

because this is the Hoot’s 15th anniversary. 

If this is your first Hoot, this brochure will give you 

an idea of what you can look forward to. Even if this 

is your 15th Hoot, you’ll still be delighted by the fun 

additions that have joined your favorite rides and happenings, 

plus all the great roads and camaraderie that 

are a part of every Honda Hoot. You don’t have to 

take our word for it either; the Southeast Tourism 

Society recently selected the annual Honda Hoot rally 

as a “Top 20 Event” in this part of the country—high 

praise indeed! 

While the official name is the Honda Hoot presented by Progressive Insurance, everyone’s 

welcome, no matter what kind of bike you ride, and whether it’s new or old. By the end of 

your week here, you’ll have seen bikes you never knew existed. 

There are plenty of planned events at the Hoot: group rides, tours, and things like that. And 

there’s plenty of free time too, so you can just explore, shop or kick some tires and check out 

the bikes. And everyone who has ever been to the Hoot talks about the food—Southern 

cookin’ at its very best. Show up with every minute planned, or show up with no plan at all— 

at the Hoot, it’s all good, and a great time will be had. 

Savvy Hoot riders know it pays to register early and sign up as a full Hoot registrant: Most 

events and rides are open only to those who are fully registered. This includes the closing ceremonies 

at the end of the event, which will feature the 15th Anniversary Grand Prize: a trip for 

two to the 2009 MotoGP of Japan, held at the Twin Ring Motegi racetrack, also home to 

Honda’s incredible Motegi Collection Hall Museum, where you’ll see the most amazing collection 

of production and racing machines in the world. 

Fifteen years ago we had no idea the Honda Hoot would draw so many riders from so 

many parts of the country. Isn’t it about time you experienced what all the Hootin’ and 

hollering is about

Southern hospitality— 

Honda Hoot style! 

At the Honda Hoot, you can always find something that’s just right for you. It’s the time 

and place for big parties and fun gatherings. When you arrive in Knoxville on Tuesday, 

there’s the Honda Hoot Welcome Party at the Marriott Hotel. Live music, dancing, food 

and drinks will be available at this “beach party” event. You can also pick up your preregistration 

materials here. We’ll even throw in some Hoot Bucks to help get your own 

personal party rolling. 

From Wednesday through Saturday, we have a Riverboat Cruise and Breakfast on the 

Star of Knoxville, which departs from Volunteer Landing and cruises the Tennessee River. 

Late Wednesday afternoon, enjoy the Ice Cream Social in Chilhowee Park and watch the 

Knoxville Police Motor Corps Riding Exhibition. This is also a great time to check out the 

Vendor Expo and pick up some accessories. That evening, hop on over to the Hoot & Holler 

at Cotton Eyed Joe. They have blackjack and Texas hold ’em, dance-team performances, 

dance lessons if you need them and a live band. It’s another popular gathering, and there’s 

no cover charge for Hoot attendees. 

On Thursday, head over to Bike Night at the World’s Fair. It’s held at World’s Fair Park in 

downtown Knoxville. There’ll be a live band with dancing, as well as vendors selling food 

and drinks, plus carnival activities and more. And while you’re there, check out the Metric 

Motorcycle Show. All metric models are eligible to be displayed and compete in 2008, 

so polish up your rig and wheel ’er in! 

Friday brings another brand-new event: A Party on the Landing. Stretched along the 

banks of the Tennessee River, Volunteer Landing is the perfect spot for a nighttime party. 

There’ll be plenty of great barbecue available for purchase, plus music and dancing. And our 

spectacular Fire in the Sky Fireworks will be launched from the river, creating an incredible 

show and ending this awesome party with a bang. 

Saturday features the biggest party of the week, the Hoot Closing Ceremony, including 

a Hoot Concert with Wynonna Judd. (This exclusive concert is available only to full registrants 

and only to the first 6000 who register for the Hoot.) To top that off, we’re featuring 

a truly amazing Honda Hoot 15th Anniversary Grand Prize (see more details on page 9). 

Remember, to win you must be a full registrant, you must be present and you must have 

your ticket stub with you. 

Parties and fun. That’s just how we do it at the Honda Hoot!

Party time!

Back roads with 

limitless possibilities

Every single day, 

someplace new to ride. 

You’ve probably seen the T-shirt: “How come you never see a motorcycle parked 

outside a psychiatrist’s office” Well, if you don’t know the answer to that 

already, you will after a couple of days at the Honda Hoot. Here’s a rundown on 

some of our favorite rides for 2008. 

On Wednesday, there’s a new event for 2008: Ghost Town in the Sky. Enjoy a scenic ride to this 

mountain-top Wild West theme park in Maggie Valley, North Carolina, which offers thrilling rides 

(including the world’s only roller coaster located, literally, on the side of a mountain), gunfights (using 

blanks, of course), live music and shows, plus lunch, all within an authentic reproduction of a Western 

ghost town. Also on Wednesday there’s the popular Cherohala Skyway Ride. This is a spectacular selfguided 

trip (including lunch), and you can ride at your own pace on one of the greatest roads you’ll 

ever ride, with elevations that climb over a mile high. 

Thursday’s Capes and Cavern Ride is another new event. Polish up your Bat Bike for your ride to the 

largest cave in Tennessee, where you might even encounter some caped crusaders. You’ll start your explorations 

with a quarter-mile walk down into the caverns (always a naturally cool 56 degrees!) past rock formations, 

waterfalls and pools to the ballroom, where lunch and some surprises await. There’s also the 

Cumberland Gap Ride on Thursday. This self-guided ride covers some spectacular countryside, and in 

town you’ll witness a Civil War reenactment on the main street. A great mountain lunch is included. 

On Friday, we have three great rides in store for you to pick from, including the new-for-2008 Bikes 

and Boats at the Lake. Enjoy this great self-guided ride to Lenoir City and Fort Loudon Dam, which 

stretches 4190 feet across the Tennessee River. There, representatives from Honda Marine will greet 

you with boats and watercraft rides. Enjoy a leisurely lunch while lounging under the shade trees, and 

remember: it’s OK to lounge, so stay a while. 

Another Friday ride is a longtime Hoot favorite: The Poker Run, a charity fundraiser benefiting the 

Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation. Even if you’re not a gambler, you’re raising money for a great cause, 

and the ride itself is always a treat. 

Last year we introduced Beans, Beans and More Beans, an event that was a real gas, so to speak. 

So in 2008 we’ll reprise our exclusive tour of the world-famous Bush Beans plant, including lunch. Last 

year was the first time in history that the Bush company opened its doors to the public. It was an 

instant sellout, so sign up early as 2008 will be the 100th anniversary of Bush’ founding. 

Finally, on Saturday there’s the Ride For Kids, always a big favorite at the Hoot. As you probably 

know, the Ride For Kids is the official charity of the Honda Rider’s Club of America, and the proceeds 

from this ride help benefit research and treatment for children suffering from brain tumors. 

A little later on Saturday is the Best Dam Ride and Fish Fry, a real Hoot classic. This one sells out 

every year, and once you’ve tasted that catfish lunch you’ll know why. The magic of Norris Dam can 

be wonderful. 


Honda Rider’s Club of America Members-Only Event 

Hey batter, batter... 

Choices, choices, choices: 

Demo Rides and more! 

Demo Rides are a favorite event at every Honda Hoot, and it’s easy to see why. Of course 

Honda will be there with new bikes; we’ll hand you the keys, and take you out for a spin— 

what’s not to love about that Make sure you sign up early on the day you want to ride. (As 

part of the 15th-anniversary celebration, the Hoot will focus on Honda-related products and 

services. All attendees on any make and model of motorcycle are encouraged and invited to 

attend the Hoot, but only Honda products will be available for Demo Rides.) And best of all, 

it’s included in your registration. 

Every year at the Hoot we feature a special event just for 

Honda Rider’s Club of America Members. And for 2008 we 

have a great one lined up. What’s just about the best way 

to spend a lazy summer afternoon Well, how about combining 

a terrific self-guided motorcycle ride with a great 

baseball game You’ll be treated to an exclusive matchup of the Tennessee Smokies against 

the Mobile Bay Bears. (Seven Smokies were called up to the Majors in 2007.) And we’ll have 

some other activities before the game, just for the HRCA Members present. 

The Smokies are an affiliate team of the Chicago Cubs, and as a Hoot attendee and 

HRCA Member you’re going to get the red-carpet treatment. First, you’ll be treated to a 

VIP lunch—and that’s after you ride into a dedicated area in the stadium parking lot to 

exclusive motorcycle-only parking. During the game, you’ll be sitting in a special section 

near third base—an area where some special 

former Major League players have been known 

to drop by. You’ll also get a special commemorative 

cap. And one lucky Hoot attendee who 

registers for this event will be asked to throw 

out the first pitch! 

In addition to the great riding, there’s lots more going on 

at the Hoot. Some old favorites include discounted tickets 

to one of the great local attractions, such as Black Bear 

Jamboree, Country Tonite, Dixie Stampede, Dollywood 

Themepark and Knoxville Zoo. There’s even White Water 

Rafting on the Pigeon River. 

For 2008, we’ve added a new attraction, WonderWorks, 

which began as a top-secret facility on a remote island, or 

so the story goes. An experiment went awry during an 

attempt to harness a man-made tornado. Well, let’s just say 

there are 120 interactive, hands-on exhibits awaiting you, 

and your mind will be blown away by many of them. There is also a Hoot n’ Holler Dinner 

Show featuring music, comedy and an Italian feast. You have several ticket options available. 

So many choices, all in one Hoot!

Leave the Hoot with a song in your heart 

You’ve heard some great performers over the years here 

at the Hoot, but for 2008 we’re kicking it up a notch. Or 

two. Or three. Or perhaps 15! You’ll never guess who we 

have lined up. 

Ladies and gentlemen, the one and only Wynonna 

Judd will be performing in concert at a special private 

Honda Hoot performance, live at the Civic Coliseum as 

part of our closing ceremonies. Wynonna’s music goes 

way beyond Country: she’s one of America’s most popular 

performers, and if you’ve never seen her in concert 

this is your chance. Respected by millions of fans who 

are drawn to her music and her life story, this world-renowned vocalist and entertainer 

has won the Academy of Country Music’s Top Female Vocalist Award and celebrated 20 

number one hits on the charts. She has also been honored with the USO’s Merit Award 

for service to all branches of the United States armed forces. In 2005 she added the New 

York Times best-selling author title to her already extraordinary resumé with the release 

of her autobiography, Come Home to Myself. 

Only the first 6000 fully registered Hoot attendees are eligible to attend Wynonna, 

in Concert. It’s all part of our 15th-anniversary Honda Hoot celebration and you won’t 

want to miss it. 

A very special Honda Hoot 15th Anniversary Grand Prize 

Everyone who’s ever been to a Honda Hoot knows about the Grand Prize drawing at the end of the festivities. 

But this year we’re going to outdo ourselves: To celebrate this year’s 15th anniversary of the Honda 

Hoot, we’re awarding one incredible 15th Anniversary Grand Prize. What is it How about a trip to Japan 

where Mr. Honda’s dream began. This exclusive trip for two will take you to the world-famous Twin Ring 

Motegi racetrack in Japan for three days of the ultimate race-fan adventure during the 2009 MotoGP 

World Championship Grand Prix. Here, you’ll be able to experience the race and the amazing Motegi 

Collection Hall Museum. This prize, for two, includes coach airfare from an airport near your home to a 

U.S. departure city, Business Class travel between that airport and Japan, hotel accommodations (double 

occupancy), most meals, and of course, some very special souvenirs. You’ll also be staying in Tokyo for 

two nights. If you’re selected as the winner of this prize, make sure your passport is up to date and 

pinch yourself twice—this will certainly be the trip of a lifetime. And you will receive Honda VIP treatment 

everywhere you go! 

With so many wonderful 

things on tap, the 2008 Honda 

Hoot will obviously be the 

greatest Hoot ever, so sign up 

early and reserve your space 

for this grand adventure. The 

2008 Honda Hoot—see you in 

Knoxville this summer!

philosophy couldn’t apply more than with our friends at Progressive. For the fifth year running, Progressive serves as 

the title sponsor of the Honda Hoot, and its support in 2008 plays a big part in making this a successful event that people 

by the thousands can enjoy. 

Progressive is a national insurance carrier that specializes in motorcycle 

insurance. The company is also a longtime HRCA Partner, which means it offers 

special savings to HRCA Members.
