The Very Boring Rally August 16
Duluth MN (Sponsored by AEROstitch)
Attending the Boring Rally on August 16, 2003 in Duluth, MN is FREE. There will
probably be entertainment. There will also be free Boring Rally cloisonné pins for everyone. A new AEROstitch suit will be awarded to the person who shows up with the oldest and most worn out Roadcrafter. There is no rally site other than the city of Duluth, and hotel and camping spaces need to be reserved in advance at this time of the year. To receive further information about the event, and area attractions and accommodations, go to www.boringrally.com
ROCKERBOX
Milwaukee August 23
A consortium of businesses on Center St. (in Milwaukee) have conspired to put on a
motorcycle block party called ROCKERBOX, that will feature vintage and contemporary European and Japanese motorcycles, café racers and street fighters, sport tourers and street motards, on Saturday August 23rd, 12pm to 8pm, one week before the big Harley gathering. It will also feature three stages, with bands and DJ's, beer tents, food vendors, a bike show and swap meet, etc., etc..
We are looking for help spreading the word to encourage folks to come on down and
check it out, and for vendors for the food and swap meet components of the festival. Booths will be cheap and plentiful and the more the merrier. So start digging out those old fenders and fairings and encourage your friends to make a few bucks selling those old odds and ends at a motorcycle festival that isn't brand specific.
Contact Scott (scott@fuelcafe.com) for information or for a booth.
