United We Ride is a national motorcycle event proudly presented by Harley-Davidson Australia & New Zealand, taking place on Saturday, 6th September 2025 at exactly the same time across Australia and New Zealand. The ride unites dealerships, riders, and communities across Australia and New Zealand for a day of purpose, style, and connection — all in support of The Salvation Army.

The event brings together Harley-Davidson dealerships and their local communities to host group rides that support the essential work of The Salvation Army, helping Australians and New Zealanders doing it tough. From emergency relief to long-term assistance, all funds raised will go directly to programs that create real impact on the ground.

Each ride is hosted by an authorised Harley-Davidson dealership, and every location will be unique to the community it serves. To see if a ride is happening near you, head to our Rides page.
