I do believe there will be another Backfire on the 16th of Oct. I looked on the BF website but couldn't find an confermation. It generally starts to fizzle out around this time of year but if the weather holds it could be another packed nite.

Some pics from last month.

Its mostly all the other jackasses that drive in the rain that put me off.

76 550F. I got it listed on CL for $3100. And no that's not my oil/gas spot on the concrete!

So Backfire has started back up again, anyone making an appearance up there these days? I missed the first one but went to the April meet, some really cool bikes this out there and the turnout seems to be growing.

the 2-Bit saloon closed down, I wonder how it affects the BFM night? Probably a shortage of cheapass beer? :)
