If you haven’t made it to Milwaukee for Rockerbox, it’s here! This Saturday, August 3rd is the 10th anniversary of one of the coolest, most unique motorcycle gatherings in the country. See our photo feature from 2010 and our photo feature from 2012 to see why we dig this event to the utmost. Here are more reasons to go…
Tucked away off Highway 19, just north of Tipton, Indiana, is a concentrated slice of Americana called, “A Summer Place.” It was the location chosen by the Davis Brothers of Kokomo, to host the 2nd Annual Kokomoto Vintage Bike Show. We fired up the bikes, rode north through pretty farmland, a few small towns and dropped in on the nostalgic bike show (streetbikes, scooters, dirtbikes and even bicycles were welcome).
Relive the 2013 Mods vs. Rockers Chicago event taking place in Uptown Chicago at the Aragon Ballroom. The guys at Steel Toe Press throw a mean party, or in this case, the “largest urban vintage motorcycle rally in the United States.” We were there for the entire Saturday and captured this video-sampling of bikes, hot rods and rock n’ roll. There were top acts indoor and out, with a nice mix of rockabilly, psychobilly, roots rock and a little punk sprinkled in. If you missed this killer gathering of mods, rockers and rockabilly rebels, mark your calendar for next year: June 13th & 14th, 2014!
When Spring rolls around in Indianapolis, the vintage bike scene comes alive at Rockers Reunion. The 7th annual event brought out the city’s coolest customs and oldies-but-goodies, but it’s the overall scene we dig the most: the people, the music, the vibe. If you couldn’t make it, here’s a taste of what you missed and why we’re a proud sponsor of this always-entertaining motorcycle gathering.
Yep, it’s the biggest MvR event in America, but that hasn’t stopped Steel Toe Press from making it even bigger in 2013. The top-notch motorcycle and scooter rally will expand to include hot rods among thousands of vintage bikes n’ scoots. With the addition of the Aragon Ballroom, Chicago’s premiere venue for live entertainment, attendees will experience an indoor and outdoor mix of motorcycles and music, featuring Reverend Horton Heat, ‘Stray Cat’ Lee Rocker, the Supersuckers and more great bands.
It’s a big weekend in Indy during the 2013 Dealer Expo and the Progressive International Motorcycle Show (PIMS). On Friday night, we dropped in on the Int’l Motorcycle Show to check out the new bikes and products. Even though we’ve seen the manufacturer’s models in print or web articles, it was nice to see them in person to get a sense of size and scale. See our picture-post below…
