2015 Motoblot Chicago Receives Sponsorship From Triumph
The 2015 Motoblot
Motorcycle Rally in Chicago will get its official sponsor from
Triumph Motorcycles, according to the press release. The event will
take place from June 25 through 28, which will include live music,
events and a motorcycle build-off competition throughout the
weekend.
The Iron Moto Challenge is one of the top attractions of the event
and this year will include four different teams: Motoworks Chicago,
Windy city, Woodstock and a private builder in the area. This
challenge is a no-holds barred event where each team will have to
customize a Triumph motorcycle to their best ability to win the
competition.
"Our goal is to bring together all the facets of this unique
motorcycle culture, the bikes, builders, music, art, fashion and
give them a great urban setting where they can celebrate," Motoblot
Chicago Founder Larry Fletcher explained. "Motoblot is thrilled to
continue its alliance with Triumph Motorcycles. Triumph is easily
the favorite manufacturer of our attendees, all you have to do is
look at the hundreds of Bonneville's, Thruxton's and Scrambler's
that pour into the event."
Triumph Leads The Event Once Again
Triumph
will be the top sponsor for the 2015 and 2016 Motoblot event. For
years, the motorcycle rally has been one of the most acclaimed and
attended moto events in Chicago, which showcases numerous custom
and vintage bikes. Matt Sheahan, chief operating officer of Triumph
Motorcycles America, explained the company's excitement by being a
returning partner with Motoblot.
"The event is a celebration of the motorcycle lifestyle, so it's a
perfect fit for the Triumph brand," said Sheahan. "Motoblot
continues to grow in attendance and the features expand for all to
enjoy. It's a must do event that kicks off the summer riding
season."
This will be the 11th straight Annual Progressive Insurance
Motoblot Chicago event in the city. Since its small upbringing in
2005, the yearly motorcycle rally has brought together numerous
motorcycle, scooter and vintage riders.
The event will be held at Chicago's infamous Fulton Street and
Cobra Lounge. Fulton Street will close at Ashland and hold the
outdoor festival with a dual motorcycle and hot rod car show. Some
of the live acts include: The Tossers, Wayne Hancock, Koffin Kats
and Chicago School of Rock.
