Why We Love Bikes Blues & BBQ

Each year, Bikes Blues & BBQ brings thousands of motorcyclists to the Northwest Arkansas region, turning it into a vibrant celebration of all things motorcycle. From custom bikes to live music and, of course, mouth-watering BBQ, this event captures the spirit of the open road. For us at Explore Scientific, it’s more than just an event – it’s a celebration of community, outdoor adventure, and the deep connection between the machine and the natural world.

The Bikes Blues & BBQ rally doesn’t just celebrate motorcycles; it celebrates the camaraderie, freedom, and adventure that come with the lifestyle. The event provides a fantastic opportunity to experience the scenic Ozark Mountains, the beautiful autumn weather, and the charm of Northwest Arkansas, all while indulging in some of the best food and entertainment around.

Explore the Stars After the Rally

Motorcycles offer riders the opportunity to star gaze in remote dark sky locations.

Motorcyclists often have a natural appreciation for the open road, the sky above, and the beauty of the world around them. At Explore Scientific, we believe that your journey doesn’t have to stop when you park your bike for the night. We encourage motorcycle enthusiasts to look up and explore the night sky with our premium telescopes, binoculars, and optics. After a day of riding the scenic roads of Arkansas, you can unwind under the stars and discover new celestial wonders – no matter where your travels take you. We will be your guide to the heavens at our Moonfest event going on September 21st, and we can give you a free sample of thirst-quenching Blue Moon!

Our Explore Scientific Precision Optics are lightweight, portable, and rugged – perfect for packing on the back of your bike and taking with you on the road. Whether you're camping out at one of the rally's many scenic stops or finding your own quiet spot to stargaze, we’ve got the gear to enhance your adventure.

The Road Ahead

We believe that adventure comes in many forms, whether it’s the thrill of riding a motorcycle through the rolling hills of Arkansas or gazing through a telescope at the infinite expanse of the cosmos. Bikes Blues & BBQ perfectly captures that sense of freedom and community, and at Explore Scientific, we’re proud to recommend it. As a motorcycle-friendly business, we look forward to seeing you at this year’s event and helping you discover even more ways to explore the world around you.

So, whether you’re a seasoned rider attending the rally or just passing through on your next great ride, be sure to stop by Explore Scientific in Springdale. Let’s share our love for exploration, motorcycles, and the great outdoors – both on the ground and in the stars.
