Okay so I know it's been a long ass time since I've posted to the blog. I was a little tired of it all and was just bored with everything in our industry and on the net. But I've been urged to go back to posting on here and will add this as a link to my web site for everyone to be able to read.
Since my last update last July a lot has happened in the motorcycle biz. Hollister for 2009 has been cancelled. Not s surpirse to me. The city wanted to get into the t-shirt biz and lost their collective ass on that idea. They also pulled the all time dumbest move for 2008 and moved the rally from the 3 day 4th of July weekend to the weekend of the 11th. That had to be the dumbest thing I've seen in all my years of going to rallies. Last year's attendance sucked ass. Friday was a total bust and Sunday is when everyone is going home so that left Saturday for everyone to try and make back the HUGE sum of money HP promotions was charging to be downtown. Luckily for us we are always at the Corbin facility where prices are reasonable. We had a barely tolerable rally to be honest. While the weather was good the attanedance overall was a total joke. I've been ciritcal of this event for years and will continue to do so. The city of Hollister is just fucking stupid to me. They are greedy and now don't want a rally anymore. This has happened in the past and may or may not be the end of this event. I know the promoters are basically belly up but to be honest I thought they needed a lot of help. This has the potential to be a huge event but between the city and lame promoters all wanting their share of the pie I doubt it will ever live up to it's potential. I have numerous ideas about how this could become as big as Sturgis and I've handed out those ideas but I've been told I don't know what I'm talking about. Yup, been doing rallies for well over 20 years and been to almost every event known to man but I don't know what I'm talking about. Okay, I'll keep them to myself from now on.
So that's my 2 cents on Hollister. With that and another $5 you can get a cup of coffee at the latest yuppie coffee shack.
More to come...............
