Date Set for 2011 Rice-O-Rama

By Bud Wilkinson of RIDE-CT.com

A date for the 2011 edition of Rice-O-Rama, the vintage and custom Japanese motorcycle show and swap meet in North Brookfield, Mass. (not too far from Sturbridge and I-84), has been set. This year’s show will be Sunday, Sept. 11 at the same site as last year, the North Brookfield Sportmen’s Club. Last year was the fourth time for Rice-O-Rama and the cramped, hilly quarters could barely contain all the show bikes, vendors and riders who gathered to admire some amazing bikes from the Land of the Rising Sun. I’m sure the organizers have a nice arrangement with the Noth Brookfield Sportmen’s Club, but the event has really outgrown the facility.
