Lets talk about Scooter Rallies

Wanted to take a little time to plug some rallies that are being thrown by me and friends around the states.

First and foremost... my club (Strangers S.C.) is throwing its third and last "Rally De Los Muertos" Rally this October.  We're calling it "Fin De Los Muertos".   Robert Vito, lent his design skills again and I'm of the opinion that he fucking killed it.

You can register by going to: rallydelosmuertos.com
We'll not only get to have drinks together, we'll likely be doing that shit in costume.


Riff Raff Scooter Club in Austin is throwing "The Dirty Rally" - September 26th thru 28th
I'll be in attendance, showing mad support for my homies and I'll also be catching Joyce Manor on the 27th.  It's going to be a great fucking weekend.  Registration: http://www.dirtyrally.com

 

 

 

 

 

OK.  I'm going to try and not get weepy over this one.  My scooter club mates in Detroit are throwing Motor City Shakedown 10 this weekend.  I'm kinda kicking myself for not getting on a plane tonight to be there for the weekend.  I've done some crazier shit tho'...   Anyhoo - I'll never forget the work that went into planning the first one.  To all my fellow Rovers - I love you madly.  Register: www.motorcityshakedown.com

Lastly...  my boy CLARK and the Columbus Cutters are going to do their goddam thing this September.   It's a passage of the Fall Season that I miss more than you can ever imagine.  I can't stress how amazing this Camping Rally is.   Registration: Scootaque.com

Scoot-a-que 15

Want to quickly plug another Scooter Rally before calling it a night…  My friend Clark and his Columbus Scooter Gang - The CUTTERS - are throwing their annual scooter rally: Scoot-a-Que in late September!

Shortly after getting some of the artwork in for my Scooter Rally, both Clark and I were shocked to see that we were both doing Sugar Skull themes!

Anyhoo… if you’re in the Columbus area, register by clicking here.

Rally De Los Muertos

A number of people in the Scooter community already know this, but Rally De Los Muertos is officially up and open for registration!

A lot of work has gone into the conceptualization and planning of this Scooter Rally.

This will be the first Scooter Rally in the City of San Antonio since Amerivespa in 2010 and first locally organized Rally since Third Coast 5 in 2009.

In that time, the local scooting scene has changed a lot in terms of the local faces that still ride on two wheels and the organized clubs that still operate in the area.

I’ve wrestled with the idea of starting another scooter club for sometime… but I didn’t want to do it unless I knew the people who wanted to be in the club had the same passion and creative spirit to do things the right way.

I have to quickly give thanks to friend and now club mate Clay for getting Rally De Los Muertos started.  The theme was completely his idea.  I’m delighted to know that he heard me out when I strongly suggested we target the Halloween weekend for a scooter rally.

Shortly after getting the URL secured, I stopped by Clayton’s house with a bottle of Old Savannah in hand and pitched the idea of doing the rally in three parts/three acts.

I wanted to do this for two reasons…  1.) I didn’t want to be married to a theme 6 years from now and be faced with having to conceptualize Day of the Dead Six (Six, Six, Seis - would have been the Rally name tho’)…  

2.) I wanted to do something that had never been done before.  I wanted to present our rally patches in a puzzle pattern.   People who attend the rally this year, will not only get t-shirt, but they’ll also be getting the first installment of three Rally De Los Muertos patches that will one day all come together to complete a full 3 part patch.

To do this, I reached out to a local graphic artist who had put together some incredible show posters for shows in the local area.

As luck would have it, his interest in scooters and the scooting scene has always been inside of him so he jumped at the opportunity to collaborate with me on this insane idea.

He put together a logo for our rally after exchanging some emails and two quick phone calls…  and as soon as that was done - Rally De Los Muertos became a living breathing reality.

That was mid-june and since then, we’ve booked some venues, hooked up with some incredible sponsors and if all goes well - we hope to announce some big things in the coming weeks.

One of the biggest things I’m looking forward to announcing is the name of our Scooter Club…   that will have to wait a little while longer tho’.

Rally With No Name

Want to quickly plug the Rally With No Name - in Austin this year.  The Rally is exactly 2 months away and you can register for it by clicking here.

I haven’t been to any Rally’s this year so I’m looking forward to seeing all my friends at the end of September!

My new Scooter club should be out flying the colors by then…
