The Raz Report: "The Hollister Rally"
California's largest Motorcycle & Music event
" The place to be for 4th of July weekend"
" Birthplace of the American Biker "
HOLLISTER IS BACK!!! Back the way I like it - San Benito Street was blocked off for bike parking only and all the vendors were on the side streets.
There were THOUSANDS of motorcycles - American, British, European and Japanese parked along the main drag - a motorcycle show in itself just walking by - and
this one of the biggest reasons I go to Hollister. There were also many bikes parked in blocked off side streets (at $5/bike) and also along all the side streets
for many blocks around downtown.
