MBSR 2017: June 23, 24 & 25.
London, Ontario
Headquartered in London, Ontario, this year's Mad Bastard Scooter Rally will be epic!
I am so excited that Sparkplug Coffee will be part of this crazy event with pop up stations along the route. What do we have in store for the rally riders? You'll have to sign up to find out!
My vintage Vespa, Perlita, and I will be at the Motorcycle Spring Show April 9 & 10 as part of a Women in Motorcycling Exhibit.

We are super stoked to be selected as the Official Coffee of the Motorcycle Supershow!
To celebrate, we're custom building a special blend - Up Shift - just for the Motorcycle Supershow. We'll have samples to try at the show and you'll be able to take a bag home or order some for delivery after the show.

We would love the Top 100 Project even if film buffs Ryan and Bev didn't develop awesome ads for Sparkplug Coffee to start every episode. Each one tailored to the film being reviewed. Too cool.

Our home base
Although Sparkplug Coffee does not have a storefront and is a virtual / online business, we are proud to say that Corktown Toronto is our home base!
Buy Coffee & Support Corktown
Until the end of the PanAm & Para PanAm Games, 5% of net sales from any coffee purchase delivered to a Corktown Toronto will be donated to the Corktown Residents & Business Association.
We'll tally up all the Corktown & area sales up to August 15, 2015 and cut a cheque to the CRBA to help it with its excellent community activities. And for Corktowners who sign up to get coffee on autopilot - delivered every 2 weeks, 3 weeks or monthly - we'll continue the donation to the CRBA for all of 2015.

Our Mad Bastard adventure:
Held every 2 years, the Mad Bastard Scooter Rally is a one-day adventure that takes participants on a circle route covering about 650 km. This year Rally HQ was in Guelph, an easy 100 km scoot from Toronto on side roads and country highways.
Joe & Kara scootered up to Guelph on Friday afternoon. Checked in, had dinner with the rest of the group, went through the Rider Meeting to learn all about the route and plan for the next day. Hmmm... 640 km with a bunch of photo challenges and some trivia questions to answer en route. Seems doable.
24 hours later, when we were not even half-way through the route, we weren't quite so sure....
