Since 1981 bikers have been gathering in Port Dover, Ontario, every Friday the 13th to show off the bikes and meet other riders. Thousands of bikers and fans of bikes, and those just wanting to view the spectacle descended upon Port Dover, Ontario for the 50th Friday the 13th Ride to Port Dover.
Police and organizers estimate that more than 150,000 people - about a third of them on motorcycles - poured into the town of 6,000 on Friday, surpassing the record set in June 2008.
It has since grown into an international event that, in good weather, easily breaks the 100,000 mark for attendance.
Bikers come from as far away as the U.K., Australia and China for the spectacle. The streets, some of which are closed to car traffic, are lined with bikes from one end to the other. There are also vendors and beer tents featuring live bands.
