What's That Noise? Motorcycle Witch Ride Rolls in on Sunday

Hundreds of motorcyclists will travel from Everett through Marblehead to Salem on Sunday.

On Sunday, Oct. 13, the 25th annual Halloween Witch Ride motorcycle run to benefit the Muscular Dystrophy Association will be coming to parts of the North Shore.

The ride begins at Boston Harley Davidson in Everett at 1 p.m. and will run through Marblehead before arriving in Salem in the afternoon.

Some residents aren't looking forward to the window-rattling noise produced by some of the motorcycles and the rowdy behavior of a handful of participants.
