A No Colors Event
Street Vibrations® Fall Rally is a “No Colors” event this year and will be going forward. Bikers can be recognized by their “colors,” the vests or jackets they wear. The backs of their vests or jackets often display patches, which identify the clubs to which they belong.
Sponsor hotel casinos within each venue will post “No Colors” and enforce a code of conduct on their private property. Colors are defined as outlaw motorcycle clubs bearing 3 & 4 patch insignias on their outerwear. This code of conduct enforcement will also apply to soft colors (hats, bandanas, shoelaces and t-shirts).
“Motorcycle events produced by Roadshows are family friendly events,” said Randy Burke, president and CEO of the special events company. “We want to keep them that way.”

Street Vibrations® Fall Rally is free to the public. Motorcycle VIP participants pay a $70 fee and receive; a five day premium parking pass, an official event participant T-Shirt, an official event participant ride pin, three VIP parties and concerts and they can participate in bike games, poker runs and walks and Ride-In Shows.
