Texas-style Bike Night
« on: June 16, 2016, 05:30:38 PM »
Thursday night at a local pub, the Eastside Social Club usually draws a crowd with plenty of unique motorcycles. Wifey and I are riding the R100S. If we survive the temps and food trucks, I'll post snaps of interest. Maybe...

Heat Index at 1730 hours is 103 degrees F. ATGATT [smiley=flamethrowingsmiley.gif]

Pretty warm but the riders did come. Patio and food trucks but the cool bar interior kept us comfortable.

Surprised at the attention the R100S drew. Lots of positive comments plus the organizer's Facebook page commented on one bike only. Guess which one?

Pretty Wife and I drew a crowd as we geared up to leave. Seems many peeps wanted to hear "BMW Music".

No. the East Side crew strung up tapes to prevent cagers from getting the good spots.

It was hotter' a freshly fornicated fox in a forest fire but some chick complained that she was unhappy with the turnout.

I have seen better turn outs but I have also seen a lot worse. I would say it looks like a good time was had by all and to hell with what "some chick" thinks about the turnout. The people that matter know what it is all about.
Keep your bike in good repair: motorcycle boots are not comfortable for walking.
