For over 25 years, Roy has been entertaining crowds from coast to coast as a stand-up comic, hosting events with audiences from a few into the thousands and has been a huge hit at the Hogs on the High Seas Rallies from the start. Since the first HOHS Rally in 2003, Roy has been behind the microphone keeping the laughs and fun rolling at our shows, events and gatherings. When not cruising with HOHS, you will find Roy working the crowd emceeing numerous events ranging from auctions to weddings and all things in between.
Roy is a transplanted northerner, having spent his wonder years growing up in upstate New York, and moving to Snowshoe Mountain Ski Resort in West Virginia in the early 80’s. For the next 23 years, Roy enjoyed the road less travelled on his stage at The Comedy Cellar with a million laughs and countless memories. After all those years high atop Snowshoe Mountain, hours from the mall and grocery store, Roy and the family heard the call of the real world. With his wife, Melissa, and their four year old twins Roy recently relocated from the Blue Ridge Mountains in West Virginia to bluegrass pastures of Kentucky to begin the next big adventure…
If you think you’ve seen all of Roy’s antics, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet!!!
New contest for 2008
The "Sexy Senorita " Contest
The "Sexy Senorita" Contest is our Mexican version of a beauty contest. Our rally passengers aren’t teenagers anymore so No bikini’s but scantily outfits of course. Just a little bit of clothing in the right places can be very hot. We’ll be mixing a bit of pirate wench flare with Mexican cantina style but of course the main emphasis is on sexy. That could be “Busty” or “Booty” or both but outfits count too.
The Senorita that collects the most money from our audience is the "Sexy Senorita " Winner. All collections go to our Kidney Dialysis Fund. Top 10 contestants will split $1,000+ in prizes from the vendors plus a trophy to the winner.
Don’t be surprised if we add Booty Contest added later.

Topless Hombre Contest
The ladies have fun with this every year and so do the lucky men bring judged. Judges & contestants are randomly drawn from our ballot boxes. This event involves men with no clothes from the waist up and blindfolded women judges and of course it requires touching by the female judges. That’s how they judge. If only airport security could be like this! Top contestants split $1,000+ in vendor prizes from our vendors and a trophy from us.
Our 2007 winner was
Ernie Rupert -
Beech Creek, PA
Belly wacker Contest
The “Belly Wacker” contest. Yeh, it’s the same as our belly smacker contest...just every native Mexican kept pronouncing it “wacker” so when in Mexico speak the language, besides there will be bellies getting wacked anyway. This event is not to be confused with the wimpie “Belly Flop”. We have turned this event into a much more painful sport. In case you are not familiar with the ancient art of the "belly smacker/wacker". Here's what it is: Jumping into a pool from a platform, arms spread, belly first, hitting the water flat and real painful like. Extra points awarded for redness of body parts and the oooohing of the crowd and NO, you don’t just do it once!
Contestants are randomly drawn from our ballot boxes. Roy Riley (our Comedian) is the man in charge of the torture. We have seen everything from skinny white boys, to nuns to 300 pounders and after their bodies are good and numb the real fun begins. I’ve been told some strong Tequila is a big help for contestants, before AND after the contest. This event will leave a mark! We have had over 2,000 spectators at this event. Over $1,500 in prizes to be given away to the top 10 contestants compliments of our vendors plus a Trophy from us.

That’s right! Gotta have a bike show at a rally. IronWorks
magazine has stepped up to the plate again for the Fourth
year and agreed to put the winners photos and a small write
up of 7 classes in their national magazine. Plus we will show
the bikes and the names of the winners on our website all
next year.

works.
Contest is open to all registered rally participants.
Vendors are not eligible.
You can use only 1 photo of your bike.

The winning photo
from each 7 classes will receive a trophy and will be featured
in IronWorks Magazine
On the back of each photo place your name, complete address,
phone #, E-mail address (if available) year, make, and model
of bike.
You will also be required to fill out a brief form to
describe your bike and any modifications (60 words or less
).
A small panel of judges will be selected by IronWorks

in their welcome package. So don’t forget to turn your
ballot in.
At every nightly giveaway show, you can buy tickets as you
enter and are seated before the show starts. The matching
number from your ticket stub is put into the pot. The money
collected from the ticket sales is totaled, and then divided
in half. We draw a ticket number for the winner at the end
of every show. The matching number drawn will receive half
the total money collected. The other half goes to our Kidney
Dialysis Fund. In an effort to have more winners, courtesy
of some of our vendors, several ticket #’s will be drawn
for instant winners before the grand prize winner is drawn.
At our 5th Anniversary Western Caribbean Rally 6 winners spilt
$40,460 in CASH and 35 Participants won instant prizes donated by Vendors totaling
$ 25,133. The other half of the 50/50 cash ($40,460) went
to our Kidney Dialysis Fund. That's a total of $65,593 in CASH and PRIZES split between 45 winners! We don't expect our 1st Mexican Rally to revival those numbers, but you'll be surprised!
