Cripes, the swag situation is getting out of hand for Motor City Shakedown 6, either I need a bigger house, or we need to give it all away on Saturday afternoon of the rally! OK, the second one!

Due to frankly awesome sponsors, and in addition to the crazy-wonderful SS 180 that we're giving away at 11PM on Saturday night, August 7th, here's a partial line-up of the stuff that some of you good people are going to walk away with:

- Corazzo Shop Jacket from Corazzo and Scoot Around Town
- Amsoil 2t oil from Hugh Waller Amsoil
- GoGo Gear Trench Jacket form GoGo Gear
- Fulmer AF-P1 helmet from Fulmer
- Corazzo Gloves from Scoot Around Town
- Buff neck gaiters/headscarves from Buff USA
- GoGo Gear Gloves from GoGo Gear
- New Enough gear coupons from New Enough
- Kymco Swag (coozies, bottle openers, patches)
- GoGo Gear neck gaiters
- CFMoto swag bags
- Murray's Pomade, t-shirts, mayhem
- DynaBead bike packs from Innovative Balancing
- Bike Condoms
- Another Fulmer helmet from Blackbeard Powersports
- Corazzo Portland Rainsuit form Scoot! Magazine
- Retro-futuristic doggie bowl from The Premium Pet
- Scoot! Magazines, shirts and swag
- Kickass Motor City Shakedown 6 keychains from Tuffcase
- Raffle bags and mystery stuff from Scooterworks/Genuine Scooter Company
- Royal Oak Brewery Gift cards (where we are going right after the raffle!)

Tell your connections that this is the year to attend. If they don't get the SS 180, they will still have a chance to get some seriously good swag. If they don't get the some swag, they will at least have the time of their freaking lives in Detroit. Yeah, Detroit.

You gotta be there - August 6-8

Wow that's a raffle what is a raffle. Wish I were closer.

We sell raffle tickets throughout the weekend... Friday night party, Saturday breakfast, etc. and then pull tickets for the raffle bags at the end of the ride stop. At the big Saturday night do, we continue to sell tickets and around 11pm we take the stage and give it away. Rovers can't win the scoot

but our guests can.

I drove straight through from New Smyrna Beach to Detroit in April and it wasn't a big deal. Heck, Pensacola is right around the corner from Detroit... Just get on 75 and then take the 11 Mile Rd. exit, BAM, you're in Royal Oak, no probs

I've ridden to New Orleans in one night (about 250ish miles) and it took 7 hours, so a thousand+ miles would take like an entire day and a half of solid riding... I'm not sure I could handle that.

Yeah, riding from Pensacola to Detroit would take a month... and it's uphill all the way

Still, in a car, it's not so bad. And just 'cause I'm such a nice guy, I'll store the SS 180 at my place until you can come back with a truck. I'll take real good care of her!

Hi everyone! Arlene here from GoGo Gear! It is my greatest pleasure to be donating a GoGo Gear jacket to the Motor City event because I am a Detroiter myself (although now living in Los Angeles) and I will ALWAYS remain a Detroiter (Go Tigers!)! I know how hard things have been in my hometown and our contribution is one way we can show our support! My only regret is that I can't be there to present the GoGo Gear jacket myself! I'll be riding with you in spirit! Go Detroit!!!
