Corbin will be holding its Third Annual Rider Appreciation day on June 30 at its factory in Hollister, Calif. The daylong event will include a bike show, live music, a trade show and a bike show.
Guest appearances will be made by Discovery Channel’s two time Biker Build-Off Champion Matt Hotch and world land speed record holder Rocky Robinson. In addition to being an author and lifetime member of the 300mph Club, Robinson is the current holder of the Unlimited Motorcycle World Land Speed Record — a distinction he’s earned more than once. Robinson and his crew netted a top speed of 394 mph in their race for the record in September 2010. He will have his 376+ mph engineering marvel Ack Attack streamliner on site and will be available to answer any questions.
American Legend and founding member of the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club, Sonny Barger, has canceled his appearance due to personal reasons. "Sonny wishes us well and really wants to be with us, but unfortunately, personal reasons prevent this from happening this year," said Mike Corbin, president and founder. "We at Corbin send him our love and respect."
Music from The Backyard Blues Band, as well as the Jay Gordon (formerly Jay Gordon and the Penetrators) Blues/Blues Rock Band, will appease attendees throughout the day. A trade show will feature brands such as Samson Exhaust, Barnett Clutches, Renegade Classics and Mid-USA.
Bob Warford, also known as "Biker Bob", will serve as the master of ceremonies for the bike show. Attendees can win awards in the following categories:
• Street: Factory custom, non-bagger
• Custom: Chopper or exotic, 2-wheeler
• Sport: Streetfighters and more
• Touring: Baggers of all brands
• Trike: 3-Wheelers of all brands
