Revving Up for the Don Tilley Dice Run
The rumble of engines rolls through Statesville, North Carolina, as the Annual Don Tilley Dice Run gears up to unite Harley-Davidson enthusiasts once again. Come June 20, 2026, Tilley Harley-Davidson invites riders from every corner of the Tar Heel State to honor the legacy of the legendary Don Tilley while raising funds for a meaningful cause.
The Heart of the Event: Community and Charity
For those not in the loop, this isn't just a dice roll. It's about bonding over the open road and engaging with a community that feels like family. It's more than just riding—it's about keeping Don Tilley's spirit alive by supporting Victory Junction, a charity that provides transformative camp experiences for kids with serious illnesses.
Tilley Harley-Davidson has been riding the wave since 1972, offering a tight-knit hub where riders find much more than motorcycles.
Registration kicks off at 9:00 AM, and by 10:30, the first bike will thunder out on a scenic ride through the Lake Norman region. With a $20 per hand registration fee, participants get more than just a ride—they're in for:
- A commemorative T-shirt
- Live entertainment along the way
- Support for Victory Junction
Ride, Revel, and Remember
As riders carve through Mooresville, make pitstops at local haunts like Iron Thunder and Waterside Bar & Grill, and finally reconvene at Tilley Harley-Davidson, the sense of camaraderie is palpable. It's a cycle of riding, reveling, and recounting the tales that keep Don Tilley's legacy indelibly etched in the community's fabric.
Post-Ride Festivities: More Than Just Bikes
Back at the dealership, it's showtime. Live music by Leed Not Follow sets the stage, while local eats from Happy Smoke BBQ and Twisted Sips quench appetites and thirsts alike. The scene is lively, complete with a vendor marketplace, raffles, door prizes, and a generous serve of good old community fellowship.
The Legacy of Tilley Harley-Davidson

Riding Ahead: Keeping the Tradition Alive
