October 25 - Milo Rossi North East Tour: Vanson Leathers (Fall River, MA)
In this engaging talk and Q&A with Vanson Founders Mike and Kim Van der Sleesen, Milo will share how his adventures on the road have shaped his approach to uncovering truth.Since age ten, Milo has been exploring the world on motorcycles, traveling from New England to the Isle of Man, across the U.S., and through the Pacific Northwest — always wearing Vanson gear. This passion for overland travel and back-country routes culminated in his acclaimed Dark Routes series, a 4,500-mile motorcycle journey through America's Southwest that captured both archaeological wonders and the spirit of exploration.
Join internet sensation Milo Rossi — better known to his 2.8+ million followers as "miniminuteman" — and the Vanson Leathers team for an unforgettable day of science, skepticism, side-splitting commentary, and a very special product reveal. This isn't your typical archaeology lecture.
The event will have 2 sessions at the Vanson Leathers showroom on Saturday, October 25th starting at 11am and 4pm. This is a ticketed event, and seats are going fast. Get your ticket for the early or the evening session now!
