    Rockerbox bike show

    Anyone heard of or went to the Rockerbox bike show in Milwaukee? I saw it on an episode of Cafe Racer. It looks like a low key one day event for people that enjoy riding and 2 wheeled powered machines. No posing. Anything from street racers to mopeds. They only charge 10 bucks to enter one of the many categories. The show itself is free. It looks like it is almost a street fair kind of thing. The categories include normal ones but also include things like best scooter, the cool as !#% award, best turd, and one I am interested in , best rat bike. They make the trophies out of stuff laying around. I am intrigued and may try to make next year. Here is a link.

      It is a street festival/bike show in Milwaukee's Riverwest neighborhood. I hope to make it this year They have not updated their website from last years event, but here it is:



      Opps! I see that you already posted the website.

      I am still trying to catch the Cafe Racer TV show.

                  If you enter in the show you get prime parking. I'm planning to enter. Probally in the "rat bike" catagory
