I hear the Thunder
Wednesday night and I can hear the rumble of the Harleys going up and down 35 even at 11pm at night.
Its the Republic of Texas Bike Rally this weekend, bringing bikers from all walks in to town. Obviously doesn't impact worklife much, but with the house being as close to the highway as it is, the throbbing of the engines is pretty easily detected over the usual road noise we have. That's probably the only complaint I have about the house, the proximity to a NAFTA highway, however its pretty damn convenient for going downtown.
My friend Steve who manages B.D. Reilly's pub says that this weekend is second only to St. Patrick's day in traffic through the pub. They like the bikers. There's plenty of interesting bikes to see as well, so I'm all for it for a weekend! I'll have to get one soon if gas prices continue climbing.
Ooh! How nice! A Cross-Link from a friend's blog I had somehow missed in the past. The ROT Rally was indeed good at the pub--we had lots of big butch bikers and a few really hot twinky biker posers too. They drank a lot, didn't break anything and seemed to tip well. No pukers either, which to a pub manager is always a blessing.
