Cafe Racer Destinations for 2009

O.K., so for you cafe types - where to ride next year? Well, first off, a great place to go is a rockabily festival! Here are a few:

1. Texas Rockabilly Revival, Austin Texas May 8 - 9

2. Heavy Rebel Weekend, Winston Salem, NC, July 3 - 5

3. Rockabily Hall of Fame Festival, Jackson, TN August 6-8

4. Rockabilly Party Weekend, Las Vegas, NV, April 9-12, 2009

5. Coney Island Rockabilly Festival, Long Island, NY, Labor Day Weekend

Lots of others, including the Mods / Rockers events, I am sure... post away! It would be cool if we could start off with a run to Daytona for a Bonneville Bash...

Scot,

The Rockerbox event in Milwaukee is always a popular event.

Um how about no? Besides the Ferry to the Isle of Man is all booked up for the TT. But seriously if anyone ever fancies coming this side of the pond then PM me. I'm not paying , I don't earn anything like enough, but I don't mind showing you around assuming I can get leave. If you fancy the IWKR (google it i've posted the linky somewhere but can't find it right now) or some such event then let me know your coming. The Dollar pound exchange is in your favour right now.

Some of us might take you up on that . Have enough sofas in your house or flat for some Septic Hoolies ?:

Depends how many! If not I have a few mates. Or failing that there's a hotel down the road. But if its the West Kent run you're coming for bring a tent!
