PRESS RELEASE 2018
What is Twotoos?
TwoToos is a day to celebrate the art of old motorcycles. The name derives from the term, “I’m on TWO wheels TOO.” Meaning, the camaraderie and brotherhood felt between those on two wheels wether they know each other or not. The indoor/outdoor motorcycle show will have a festival atmosphere is meant to be inclusive to all types of motorbiking.
Its an all-day party scheduled for July 14, 2018 that culminates with some of Detroits other famous export, MUSIC. Bands booked to perform include the Cheetahs, and Heartthrob Chassis - featuring Margaret Dollrod, and more. The location is the Outer Limits Lounge on the Detroit/Hamtramck boarder. The newly reopened bar/garden and record label re-imagined by John Szmanski from the Hentchmen.
The venue will feature a curated collection of notable and historic motorcycles in the outdoor garden. The bikes will be lit in the evening and old biker movies will be projected both inside and out. Food and T-shirts will be for sale, $5 dollar cover for a wristband before 8pm $10 after for the bands.
The spirit of this day is to promote the diversity of motorcycles through their roots but welcomes all visitors to to ride their bikes up. It doesn’t matter if you are riding a chopper, bagger, brat, custom, cafe racer, rat bike, enduro, dirt bike, minibike, moped, and even bicycle.
What this event will not do is try to define what motorcycling or Detroit is, rather where motorcycles have been. And to celebrate the great friendships made though it. All are welcome and none are excluded, we hope to see you there.
TwoTwos was founded by 40 year old, Fabrizio Costantini, a Detroit-based film maker and motorcycle enthusiast who grew up riding bikes around Detroit and discovering the wealth of mechanics, machinists, fabricators, and DIY culture that has always existed in the Motor City.
Another reason it is called TwoToos is to make fun of itself and to remind us to not take ourselves toot seriously. Imagine if a big tough biker wearing a tutu and dancing like a ballerina, it would be a ridiculous sight but there is some truth to it too being that both require grace.
If this event is a success, we hope to return in 2019 for TwoToo’s part II.
