What better way to test your luck than dropping a few quarters on a raffle ticket that could bring you a free motorcycle" Make that a nickel-plated Triumph classic given the full custom treatment. That was made possible thanks to the Venice Vintage Motorcycle Club (a.k.a. VVMC) as part of the festivities celebrating their 10th Annual Rally and Bike Show on September 13, 2017 Venice, California, just west of Los Angeles.
Back in 2007, when they couldn?t find a decent bike party in their hometown area, four Venice vintage bike enthusiasts put together the Venice Vintage Motorcycle Club: Shannon Sweeney, Jeff Verges, Hunter Knight and Patrick Dunn-Baker.
Says Shannon, ?Here in the Venice area we had a bunch of bike shops but no local activity, so we brought this event together so everyone could network. It?s a chance to meet other creative-minded people, ride bikes and have some interesting bike and art community conversation. And we did it so that it encompasses all motorcycles; everybody is welcome.? Over the past decade the rally has continued to grow in popularity, attendence and the quality and diversity of its showcased motorcycles?vintage, classic, custom, café racer, radical, you name it. And for the past several rallies, a one-off custom bike has been raffled off to some lucky guy or gal.
