When the thread said "Texas style" I thought the mods would be wearing cowboy hats.

Was any rockabilly played, or is that just the Ton-up crowd?

Back in '83 I had a Yamaha 125 scooter, and one of the Army parkas.  Then in '87 I bought my Triumph and joined the rocker camp for good.

Those parkas are not even remotely waterproof.

This quick note is primarily for our new Ft Worth-based member, Lee Harvey.

One of the three watering holes scheduled as stops on the MvR Tour is named... wait for it...

I was watching the TV show "Cafe Racer" on the HD Theater channel last night.  They did a little segment on the Mods & Rockers event in Texas.  Neat looking event, and I saw a few BMWs among the "rocker" bikes.

I'm trying to resist upgrading to some of the HD channels my cable provider offers. Besides Cafe Racer, there is always something going on with the IoM TT Races. Love it. And don't forget the World Rally Championships...

Shoot, even my Soldier son scores Cafe Racer and I don't even know where the H-E-Double Hockey Sticks he is. Lucky rascal.
