June Jam Bike Rally Heats Up Rowan County The Carolinas’ Full Throttle Magazine
By: Lincoln Infield n June 5th, the June Jam returned to the Rowan County Fair Grounds in Salisbury to rock the motorcycle community of North Carolina. The long dormant bike rally was resurrected last year, and organizers pulled off a successful party amid all the BS that 2020 was. This year the event was going to build off of their initial success and slap on an extra layer of awesome with new biker games and a reimagined set up. The weekend of the event brought HOT summer temps, clear skies and bikes of all kinds to Salisbury ready to Jam. Vendors were set up around the outside loop and inside a nice, air-conditioned building beside the food vendors. We’d hangout in the sun with Shannon and Dexter from Tom McGrath’s Motorcycle Law Group, go picking through the dozens of outside vendors for a while then dip back into the AC and hang out with Jay and his Jaybirds Custom Cycles crew.

In between sets the stage was the site of the bikini contest followed by the wet t-shirt contest. It sure was a hot day, and none of the girls complained about getting that ice water poured over ‘em. CBA’s Mike Wiggins had the hard job of administering the ice water, poor guy. Nina took home $200 as the bikini contest winner and Ramona was awarded a wad of cash for the wet t-shirt contest. After the girls jiggled and giggled across the stage, they snagged their winnings and paraded a bunch of big burly guys to the stage for the beard competition. There were some healthy face mops out there and Gabby from Gabby’s Beard Care Products gave them all a good inspection. Chad snagged 1st place with Biggie and Sleepy taking home 2nd and 3rd place respectively. They all took home some new beard products from Gabby’s to keep their beard looking good. If you couldn’t grow a beard or didn’t have the right equipment to be in the bikini competition you could still take home some cash if you had the best tattoo. A dozen or more folks paraded their ink in front of the stage in hopes of
