What Is The Game of Barnes?

The Game of Barnes is all about getting outside, exploring new roads, and connecting with a community of riders like you!


Take photos of yourself completing missions; like driving one of our favourite recommended riding routes or participating in one of our legendary summer BRAP nights to earn points that will help you climb the leaderboard.


If you've scored the most points from completing missions, you could WIN a FREE brand-new Harley-Davidson® Iron 883! How cool is that?
