PRIZE OF THE WOUNDED SOLDIER
(AS SHAMEFUL AS THE REAL THING)
The Hammy is given out on Saturday night alongside the raffle and the scooter show awards. It is presented to the unlucky participant whose ride breaks down first, and is unable to repair it before the end of the ride. In the unlikely event that there are no broken down scooters, the trophy will go unclaimed. The trophy itself changes every year - created by a local sculptor from an empty, shame-riddled Hamm's beer can.
2008 HAMMY AWARD WINNER
JOHN GICK of INDIANAPOLIS
John's 50's era Allstate broke down part-way through the day, forcing him to ride two-up with Kerrie, a sympathetic friend. The scooter has since been fixed -however John has not faired as well. While riding his vintage Bajaj, he was hit by a thoughtless suburban woman on her cellphone, sending him up into the windshield, then to the hospital. He suffered a number of broken bones in his foot, as well as a number of large cuts and scrapes, so ask to see his road rash scars at the rally. |
