ROT Rally time in Austin again.
« on: June 08, 2012, 04:06:36 PM »
Great fun if you love Harleys.
Parade to Congress Ave. tonight.
40,000+ bikes expected in the area over the weekend.
How much chrome is that? ::)

We should get together a pack of Hondas to troll them..... ;D

I'm steering clear of that! Already one fatality, a guy fell over an overpass?

I saw some wild riding on I-35 today, weaving in and out in heavy traffic, not smart.



Edit: now three fatalities.  2 were not wearing a helmet.

29 wrecks too.
Statistically not too bad if the figure of ~30-40K bikers in town is to be believed.
Still sad. :(
