Bike, as in motorbike, day

Every year the 19th of August is motorbike day. Although in Japan it is called "Bike Day". Bike is short for bicycle in my home country, but in Japan they use the word bike for a motorbike or motorcycle.

The date for Bike Day comes from the mnemonic "bai (8) i (1) ku (9).". The date was established in 1989 by the Traffic Safety Headquarters of the Management and Coordination Agency of the Government (now the Cabinet Office). 

The aim of registering the day was to create motorcycle safety awareness. Each year on August 19th local governments and local police forces across the country hold events such as motorbike safety seminars.

There are some places in Japan that are particularly known by bikers. For example, in my Prefecture of Saitama, Ogano town is known as a biker town and there is even a biker's shrine in the town. You will find Information for the biker's shrine as well as other things to do in Ogano by using the search function on City-cost. 

Does your city or town do anything special for Motorbike Day?
