2025 Retreads International Rally Recap
Hosted by the New England Retreads & Regional Directors Ron & Robin Cardin
What a ride — and what a rally! The 2025 Retreads International Rally, hosted by the New England Retreads under the warm and spirited leadership of Regional Directors Ron & Robin Cardin, was nothing short of spectacular. Held in the heart of New England, this year’s rally brought together Retreads from across the country (and beyond) to celebrate camaraderie, shared passion, and of course — the open road.
Incredible Rides, Breathtaking Views
Whether rolling through winding country roads, scenic byways, or coastal stretches, the rides organized during the rally were top-tier. The fall colors, paired with cool breezes and crisp air, offered the perfect backdrop for exploring everything that New England has to offer on two or three wheels. Riders of all makes — from Harleys to Hondas to trikes — enjoyed every mile, forming convoys filled with laughter, revving engines, and memories in the making.
Fellowship at Its Finest
Beyond the bikes, what made this rally truly shine was the community spirit. Retreads from across the country came together not just to ride, but to reconnect, share stories, and celebrate the unique bond that brings us all together — the love of motorcycling and the Retreads tradition.
Evenings were filled with social events, group meals, and heartfelt laughter. We saw new friendships formed and old ones rekindled. Everywhere you looked, someone had a smile on their face — and usually a cup of coffee or a gear bag in hand.
Special Thanks to Ron & Robin Cardin
A massive thank you goes out to Ron & Robin Cardin, who not only serve as New England Regional Directors, but also go above and beyond as long-time leaders and devoted ambassadors of the Retreads legacy. Their dedication, organization, and hospitality ensured that every rider felt at home — and their attention to detail showed in every aspect of the rally.
From route planning to registration, meal coordination to local lodging tips, Ron & Robin made this rally feel both professionally executed and warmly personal. We’re lucky to have such leadership guiding the Retreads community.
