Hey Folks!
We are starting planning for this year's Eurobike! It is going to be back in City Market again, because the folks who say said we should never do it anywhere else than in that little cobble-stoned burg. Those that came last year and the first couple of years probably get that! Here is a recap from last year:
https://youtu.be/s6Cd4gb7mjgIt's in early April again also. Last year we had to move to June for street closures and unfortunately that conflicted with a regional Guzzi event.
The streets will be blocked off again, and we'll have one for Italian bikes, one for Brit, one for German, and one for Cafe. They all surround a vintage town market that we are renting for the vendors to use, beer, and a special bike show.
Its a 2 day event this year. We'll have a Saturday ride, and gathering and bike show on Sunday. There will be a bike show with awards in several attendee-judged categories. There will be a swag raffle again and also be a raffle for an exotic European motorcycle - this year we found a nice Ducati 900SS to raffle off!. You can buy raffle tickets for 20 bucks each at
www.eurobikeraleigh .comWe'll have music, vendor booths, tech talks, and food. This year we are also offering a special show section for custom motorcycle builders.
The event is being run by Do the Ton Triangle again this year, a group of caf� racer enthusiasts dedicated to preserving classic and retro-styled motorcycles and lifestyle. Proceeds will go to InterAct � a non-profit assisting families and victims of domestic violence.
We welcome all regional clubs focused on European bikes and caf� racers to participate. The local Moto Guzzi club will be representing on the Italian street!
