Bikes, Blues And BBQ 2 Years, 4 Months ago  
Holy Mother of Pearl!!! went to BBB Saturay. There had to be 3000,000 bikes there! I have never seen anything like it. Every shape, size, make,model,stock, custom, home built, two wheeled, three wheeled, bikes and contraptions you could imagine were there. Towns people and their kids sitting in lawn chairs on the side of the roads all over town waving at you like you were some kind of movie star! There were vendors from most of the major manufactures and demo rides. Good food and good people. It will be a while before the offical numbers are out,but I think that BBB is close to being the largest rally in the U.S.! I had a great time and I hope those of you who went did too!!!

I am with you on that BBB bushman. This is by far the best organized big bike rally I have been to. Road the Pig Trail twice. Went the back way into Eureka Springs and looped back to Fayetteville. Interstate 540 is a death Hyw. We stayed in Rogers and rode twice a day on that Hwy. Cars seem not to be able to stay on the road. Only seen one bike wreck on Pig Trail. We will be there again next year. Bofish

bofish, did you stop at Turner Bend and get you a "Pig Trail" "Can you Hang ?" t-shirt? You are right about 540...it is definitly a death road. The locals up there do not discriminate...they will run over anybody when they are on that road!!! Anywho BBB was great maybe we can meet up next year.

I was there. Got into town Wed afternoon and left Sunday morning. I was definitely burnt out at the end, but it was all good. I got a buddy that lives just out of town which is very nice. Don't have to camp or motel it. The weather this year was awesome too.

Regards....greeny

Had a great time at BBB, rode in to town on Thursday evening in light rain. Road* got 42.8 mpg from Owasso to Fayetteville , best yet for me still lookin to improve on that. Think Ill check the float level next,as it also puked twice while i was there. Took a 250 mile ride on Friday and had a great time. Returned to Owasso on Sunday.

BBBBQ is growing into one of the biggest in the country, just not getting the attention like Sturgis or Daytona yet. Being a local I have to admit we have some of the best riding in mid-USA.
Try visiting sometime when the rally's not on and you'll enjoy it without the traffic. Sometimes you can have the roads all to yourself, it's wonderful !
