a local bike night

[WWJD]

Went to a bike night in a nearby smaller town where they block off the entire downtown square! I had no idea we had such a big event going on here. For you big city people small towns here all have a square with a park/courthouse/police station in it, and MOST of the original towns business went up around this square, so all the businesses look like the old west all two stories tall butted up next to each other... anyway, I rode down with a friend of mine, he on his Harley, me on my Busa - it's 99 percent Harley event but I saw a couple sportbikes around.

The town square was FILLED with bikes lining up both sides of all four streets, some in the middle and also lining up both sides of the entrance roads on each exterior block! I could not believe the turnout. HUGE! And tehy do this monthly: food, drinks, live music, some shops selling junk, the whole deal. Here's some pics. Next time I'll bring a wide angle lens and try to get up higher to see the whole square

and adjecent street, south of square. I am certain people came from all the bigger small towns in a 50 mile radius

some girls dance for money, others for charity, these for both! Pretty!

The guy in the blue shirt is named Zeek and this was the first time he was allowed in public. He'd never seen a "woomahn" before but luckily the police were nearby to apprehend when he dropped his coolie to the ground, began drooling, and charged toward them with hands stretched out in front. Not pretty!

caught some gawkers nearby when we were ready to leave. pretended it was not mine so we didn't scare them off:

boy to dad: "... it says 180!! "
me: " aah that's not fast"
us: "hahahahaha"
