ABOUT US

Ogemaw County has a rich history of motorcycle events.

It all started with a boy and a dream. At the age of 15, Ken "Fuzzy" Gildner got his first motorcycle, a Whizzer, then a Triumph and a Ducati. In 1963, at the age of 23, Ken started Gildner's Cycle Shop, where he carries BSA, Hodaka, and Bridgestone. In 1968, he started selling OSSA, Rickman, and Norton and then in the 1970's he took on Triumph. In 1980, Ken took on Harley Davidson and since then, Gildner's Cycle Shop has grown to be Gildner's Harley Davidson, Inc. They have added many additions through the years to accommodate the growing sport of motorcycling.

When Ken brought the idea of having the Michigan Harley Davidson Rendezvous in West Branch at the Ogemaw County Fairgrounds, the rally found its home and has evolved into what is now Ogemaw Hills Bike Week.

Thanks Fuzz!

A full list of events are being planned for 2010. Whatever type of motorcycle you ride, come and join us for some awesome riding, beautiful fairgrounds, and a community that welcomes you!
