“Hey Johnny, what are you rebelling against?” Johnny: “Whaddya got?” Marlon Brando made the Hollister Rally a landmark with The Wild One, however local politicians are still opposed to having bikers invade the otherwise sleepy little California town and have once again cancelled the July 4th event. While it is not the first time the Hollister Rally has been cancelled, it may be the last.
After 25 years of supporting the Hollister Motorcycle Rally — and Birthplace of the American Biker — Mike Corbin is throwing in the towel. “We're not hosting anything at our shop this year,” says Corbin Marketing man, Greg Hurley. “We'll be open on Saturday for ride-ins, just like every other Saturday, but that is all. No vendors. No music. No bike show.”
“However, kind of as a goof, a couple of us decided to make an online version of the Hollister Rally,” Hurley explains. Partly to keep the name alive for posterity, but also since the whole world is abuzz with the "Metaverse.” We know this isn’t the best way to celebrate the 75th Anniversary of The Wild One, but it’s all we got. We’ll do what we can with Live Feeds, Vendors, Online Bike Show and a lot more coming at ya soon and Going Live in Hollister on June 27, 2022, because…
YOU CAN’T CANCEL JOHNNY!
