Bikernet Event Coverage: Hollister Power Sports July 4th Rally

 
 
 
Hollister Power Sports offered to celebrated Hollister’s July 4th Motorcycle Rally with demo rides on their new Indian and Victory models. Branscombe Richmond star of the TV series RENEGADE will host the event…Samantha and Amanda check out a couple of Indians.
 
 
Which one to ride first…I own a 2013 Victory Vegas 8-Ball so I guess I’ll demo one of the new Indians.
 
 
But first I gotta park my ol’ Raider before I take the demo ride…hint, it’s the bike with the kool sunglasses and yellow backpack
 
 
Richard Sotelo (brother of Rey Sotelo) checks me out to see if I have both the required license and insurance
 
 
Speaking of Rey Sotelo (the guy in the middle)…Rey designed and built the new ‘Redeemer’ a prototype based upon the Indian Chieftain
  
 
 
Several years ago a friend of Bikernet’s was the promoter behind the Hollister Rally. At the time the California Highway Patrol demanded over $300,000 for additional security. That killed all the profits and the event. Convex tried to handle the event last year but dropped out. Rumor has it the CHP hit up the city for $180,000 this year but offered to lower the cost to $135,000 so the event could continue. I wonder what they charge the county fair? 
 
 
America’s foremost motorcycling ambassador, Branscombe Richmond surrounds himself with the beautiful ladies of the Hollister Power Sports booth in downtown Hollister.
 
 
Parked in front of the booth is the Polaris Slingshot. Raise your hand if you remember watching the ‘Jetsons’ on TV?
