AUSTIN, Texas--May 31, 2006--Thousands of bikers roar into Austin June 1-4 for the 12th annual Republic of Texas Biker Rally, and the Radisson Hotel and Suites on Town Lake is ready!

The rally is expected to bring more than 40,000 bikers and an estimated $32 million to the Austin economy. Attendees can browse more than 300 vendors and exhibitors, attend bike shows and races, and follow scenic Hill Country tours during the 4-day event.

The Radisson is centrally located on Congress Ave., where the rally hosts live music Thursday, Friday and Saturday night. The recently-remodeled hotel caters to the bikers, providing them with spray bottles and towels to keep their cycles clean and in top condition, and two floors of the parking garage is reserved exclusively for bikes. The hotel has produced a limited edition t-shirt for the rally, and will have a Harley-Davidson on display in the lobby throughout the event.

In addition to the many biker rally events, the Radisson will have live music in the lobby and pool side, where bikers can enjoy the beautiful view of Town Lake, and watch the thousands of bats emerge from the Congress Avenue Bridge at dusk.

Seventy-five percent of the Radisson's available rooms are dedicated to the event this year, providing a great location for biking enthusiasts to gather and swap stories and bike info.
