Bikes,Blues and BBQ 2 Years, 8 Months ago  
Bikes, Blues and BBQ starts today!!! It's the largest non-profit motorcycle rally in the U.S.! Last year there were 400,000 people there! AND I've got to WORK!!!! ...But I got people coming up Friday and we're going Sat. The weather has been terrible this whole month,but it's looking better for this weekend. If you've never ridden in the Ozarks in northwest/northcentral Arkansas you've missed some of the best/prettist riding ever. If you can't tell I'm just a little bit excited...so Pack your stuff and hit the road! See you there.. I'll be the one Grinnin' like a possum eatin' saw briars

I think I saw you there last year!

I'm leaving in about 2 hours for BBB. Been going for 5 years now and each year it gets better. Like you said too about the Ozarks. Beautiful area to ride. We always ride over to Huntsville at least once for breakfast at Granny's Kitchen. Best breakfast in Arkansas!

I'll be lookin' out for you bud! ....greeny

You guys suck ...

I've been wanting to go every year since it started. My brother has been bugging me to go every year since it started.

Go see Oreo Blue, great local blues band, my brother is the drummer.

Have fun and maybe I'll be able to make it next year.

Ride safe.

I've got a friend who just moved out there, some small town near Little Rock. What town is this event in? I'll try and get her to dust off her bike and git. She hasn't been riding much this year with the move an all.
