rolling thunder run

memorial day weekend is always marked around here by the rolling in of thousands of bikes for the annual rolling thunder run. its kind of an awesome event and always nice to have people visit dc and see how nice it is in real life: it really is. there are events scheduled throughout the weekend...watch out for media whore and uninvited guest sarah palin and her brood, though: she might just quit in the middle of the ride.

africa bike week?

i did not know that...it actually seems more like a huge promo for harley: you can stay at the harley hotel...drive on the renamed-for-africa-bike-week 'detroit way'...visit the harley exhibits and sponsored shows: its all harley, all the time. that isnt a bad thing, mind you: 180,000 riders hanging out together, talking shop and having a good time is not a bad thing!

super hot chicks suck bang and blow

i am almost ready for myrtle beach bike week, which some how lives on despite the town's best efforts to shut er down. we always cruise to the suck bang blow bar for beers, burnouts and etc. this year, the chicks will be hotter than ever: freaky women blowing fire (and tending bar) will be the big draw. note to self: stay out of their line of fire!
