It takes place around the Glemseck at the Solitude race track in Leonberg, Germany every first weekend in September.

There are usually planned ride-outs on the Saturday taking in good roads and sometimes historic sites, museums, etc.

[citation needed] In the UK, many people relate motorcycle rallies to the famous Bulldog Bash near Stratford-upon-Avon.

Gypsy tours were organized where groups of riders all over the country converged on a favorite destination.

The term gypsy was used because the riders would travel long distances and often sleeping in tents around a campfire along the way much like the Hollywood stereotype of Romani.

[8] The term gypsy tour has been used for other activities, but predominantly motorcycle rallies, and the idea quickly spread around the world.

Many gypsy tours have been held over the years and are still a regular event for many vintage and modern motorcycle groups.

The annual gypsy tour to Laconia, New Hampshire near Lake Winnipesaukee began in 1916 and is the oldest continuous motorcycle event in the U.S.[9] A number of rallies are held throughout Australia throughout the year.

Many rallies are held at a local recreation reserve, football ground, racecourse, or showground in country towns.

The Ulysses Club Annual General Meeting Event is a weeklong affair that brings in thousands of motorcyclists and millions of dollars to its host site, which can be different each year.
