Where: Speed-E Mart, 1115 S 19th St, Tacoma, WA 98405
Yes, it’s that time of year for Shauns’ Rubbish Ride. Why is it Rubbish? Because there’s not much riding. This year we are going to sample some delicacies from a convenience store hot box, some delectable treats from a local Taco Truck and replenish our palates with desert at a higher end establishment. Be brave. The initial meet will be at the Speed-E mart on the corner of 19th and MLK in the shadow of Saint Joes which boasts an impressive selection of hot box morsels. You can even wash these down with airplane bottles of Barefoot Chardonnay, maybe some 20/20 or grab that Olde 800 from the back of the cabinet… Once our palates have been assailed we’ll navigate a circuitous route to Rico’s Taco Truck to sample their Taco delights. Finally, we’ll adjourn to Coopers to re-energize our taste buds with refined desert whether that be cocktails or cake..!!

A little History about the Friday the 13th Motorcycle Meetup.
The Friday the 13 Motorcycle Rally was inaugurated in Port Dover, Ontario, Canada back in 1981. A Motorcycle Rally is held every Friday the 13th throughout the year with approximately 100, 000 bikers lining the shores of Lake Erie.
Years ago, before the world embarked on its drug induced trip into apocalyptic stupidity, Dawn decided it would be great fun to emulate this event in Tacoma inviting not just Motorcycles to attend but to include all two wheeled motorized vehicles of conveyance including but not limited to Scooters of the combustion engine variety. Since 2016, Dawn organized this event on every Friday the 13th, whether it was the frozen wasteland of winter or the unpredictability of summer with just a little help from the Firkin Scooter Club. We thought this would be a most apropos occasion to Celebrate the wonderful life and influence Dawn had on a great many us.
