Properly, the Republic of Texas Bike Rally, officially kicked off today. There are expected to be between 40,000 and 50,000 bikers in Austin over the 4 day event. Full access to the grounds and all shows for the 4 days is $70. I don't have the time, money, or inclination to attend but there are a lot of smaller spin-off things around town.
Cowboy Harley had a sort of kick of party from 4 PM to 9 PM today. Besides the food and beverage vendors, there was a DJ on one end and a remote radio broadcast on the other. There was also a bikini bike wash going to benefit Biker's Against Child Abuse. At $75 it was a bit steep for me but it was a lot of fun to watch.
The couple of hours I was there the girls stayed busy.
They also had 2011 calenders of the girls for sale with that money going to the Wounded Warroir Fund. Logic told me repeatedly, athough a bit less forcefully each time, that $15 was too much to pay for a calender with only 7 months remaining. In the end, my resolve and resistance were overcome by a 'salesman' with one (Two?
) of the most compelling pitches I have ever run across. Besides, it's for a good cause...RIGHT?
My son just took over payments on a 750 honda Shadow and I picked up a Freedom Bell for his bike.

Of course being married for 37 years, I didn't really pay much attention to her.....
