The High Desert Gathering 2012, September 28-30…
We are working on a discounted hotel rate for our out of town friends. We have a few camp grounds in the area that will be open to those who’d rather camp. The BRKSC is retrofitting a custom 1986 Honda Gyro 50cc scooter for the raffle. We also have prizes from Scooter Brewing Company, Friction Skateboards, Motorcycle Accessories, and more raffle sponsors are in the works. Mark the dates on your calendar we’re looking forward to seeing old friends and making new ones. I’ll post info here as things progresses…
Cheers John Tonic
