Rockerbox: The Other Motorcycle Festival

Saturday August 2, 2008

Sure, non-Milwaukeeans may find it hard to fathom a motorcycle festival devoted to anything other than the ubiquitous Harley, but we know better. There is room for all types of bikes in this town, and Rockerbox is the place to show them off: café racers, vintage bikes, sport bikes, street fighters, choppers, super motos, scooters, cruisers -- basically, if it's got two wheels and a engine, you can ride it in, and if you really feel like showing your baby off, enter it in the bike show for $10.

Oh, and there's rock too. Local bands Juniper Tar, The Response, Knit Delicate, Protestant, The Summertime Dudes and Call Me Lightning will all be playing throughout the day.

Rockerbox Motorcycle Show and Street Party
When: 11 a.m. - 7 p.m. Saturday, August 9
Where: Center Street between Humboldt and Pierce Streets in Riverwest
How much: Free

Rockerbox - thanks for the tip. Had not heard of it before. Really liked the Alex Friend video of Brady St./ Eastside. Enjoyed the link. Think your blog is great.
