Guest View: Monumental moment in Hollister history
I am still a little dumbstruck over Monday night’s unanimous city council decision to sanction our motorcycle rally for 10 years. I had been praying for a five-year commitment but 10 years was more than I could fathom. I was sitting next to Mike Corbin when the ordinance passed and it couldn’t have been more appropriate. I turned to him and asked, “Did you ever think we would see this day?” He seemed to be as astounded as I was. We have been in the battle to promote, save, and then resurrect the Hollister Motorcycle Rally for 17 long years and it was a poignant moment for both of us. Mike Corbin of Corbin Motorcycle Seat fame was in the battle before I knew anything about the famed Hollister riots of 1947.
