Hey there wonderful people of the world!

Here is the official announcement....(drum roll please)

Rides of March 2027 will take place APRIL 2nd-4th.

Normally we always hold our shindig the last weekend in March... but as Easter falls on this weekend, and St. Pats the week prior, we chose to postpone a week so that none of you have to choose between family commitments, drinking commitments or us.

Stay tuned for more ROM news.

We are still reeling from such an amazing weekend!
Thank you everyone for coming out to and making this THE BEST RALLY IN THE USA!!!

We are already planning for next year... we have a Lambretta to raffle and will be giving it the full custom treatment!

On another note, our great friend, semi-official rally photographer and nicest guy on the planet Grant Simpson got banged up pretty good on Saturday's ride. He's got a couple of broken ribs and a broken clavicle. Please send him some words of love and encouragement as he heals!

This year's ride is a bit more mellow than some of our past adventures.. plenty of curves, dips, crests and turns, but not too technical... expect a nice cruise..8" scoots and smallframes should be able to hang.

(we wont be hauling ass, but there are several great stretches where you boys on tuned scoots can compare dicks)

Ride stops at Guisseppe's in Pismo Beach for a delicious lunch by Papa Joe DiFronzo (included in rally pack purchase).

After lunch, you can head back to SLO on your own, or, we will lead a group ride that you can join.

Even big boys love a tuned smallframe!

Will a full figured scooterboy be riding this home? Maybe one of the lovely ladies of the Secret Servix? Maybe a LCUSA elitist?
