History and features
The first Motoblot rally took place in July 2014, and was renamed from the previous "Mods vs Rockers Chicago" rally.[4] In addition to a motorcycle and hot rod show, the rally features live music, the Miss Motoblot pin-up contest,[5] and sponsorship by Triumph Motorcycles, Progressive Insurance, and All Rise Brewing.[6]
Motoblot also has featured a custom motorcycle building competition called the Iron Moto Challenge.[2] Local Chicago dealer Motoworks won the competition in 2014 and 2015.[7]
