EagleRider Des Moines

EagleRider has opened a new location in Des Moines, the capital of Iowa. It is on, and named after, the Des Moines River, which was adapted from the French colonial name, Rivière des Moines, meaning "River of the Monks.” Fun fact.

Despite connotations of being the center of the “Corn State,” insiders say Des Moines is really a happening town with a funky vibe and lots of hipster type stuff to do. We have personally not tested this claim so insert disclaimer here, but there must be a party going on somewhere in the Midwest that doesn’t involve the word “hootenanny.” Things to do include Living History Farms, Blank Park Zoo, Des Moines Art Center, State Historical Museum, Clive Greenbelt Trail, Downtown Farmers Market, the usual eateries and a plethora of downtown bars and clubs, which according to The Atlantic, is “…populated by baristas, tech start-up founders, musicians, and nonprofit professionals alike.”

The gold-domed Iowa State Capitol building is among the 19th- and early-20th century landmarks of the city’s East Village area. The Des Moines Art Center is noted for its contemporary collections and Pappajohn Sculpture Park. Local produce and live music are draws at the Downtown Farmers Market. The Greater Des Moines Botanical Garden has outdoor flora displays and a geodesic dome.

Motorcycles available to rent include Harley-Davidson Electra Glide, Street Glide, Heritage Softail, Road King, Sportster 1200 and Road Glide. Rent by the day, week, or multiple weeks. Free use of a helmet is included in motorcycle rentals; apparel is available for sale. Check with the location for the availability of hotel or airport pickup/drop-off.

EagleRider Des Moines is an EagleRider Club location. EagleRider Des Moines is located at Big Barn Harley-Davidson®, 81 NW 49th Place, Des Moines, IA 50313.
