Hollister Motorcycle Rally 2008

This year the powers that be decided to start a tradition of having the annual Rally on the weekend AFTER the 4th of July. While this is a debated move away from the years past, it's an effort aimed at making the event better for bikers, spectators, vendors - just about everybody involved.

Here's a link to a positive review of this year's rally http://johnnysbarandgrill.blogspot.com/2008/07/july-4th-and-2008-rally.html, along with another nice post that explains some of the logistics behind changing the rally schedule, http://johnnysbarandgrill.blogspot.com/2008/06/rally-questions.html.

I also found this link to a fairly cool slideshow from the rally that was put together by the local newspaper, the Hollister Freelance, http://www.hollisterfreelance.com/video/246719-2008-hollister-motorcycle-rally-slide-show

How do cigars fit in to this little piece? Only in that the event was outdoors and even the strong police presence didn't hamper the smoking enjoyment of strolling down the streets and taking in all the sights!
