Thanks to Biff's R for setting it up. Great job of keeping the rain away as well. Might need that magic in August for Hungry Mother. Was it Prayer, Black Magic, air cannons, aliens...whatever it was worked well.

Indeed! Great riding out there, I think there was one corner that was a half mile long, fantastic! Big wheel stands and dangerous wildlife, this Bash had it all! Here are some of my pics, and yes, you must endure my "witty" comments and bad photography.

Bit of rain the morning of the 16th, at the Lafayette. It stopped by the time we started riding.

No comment necessary here

Image

Ice cream and candy so good here.. oops just drooled on the keyboard.

Image

I was surprised that I could not get a fair trade soy latte with an artisanal biscotti here. Maybe it's on their winter menu...

Image

Hey kids, want to learn about tetanus?

Image

The only thing weirder than this was the shop keeper's claim that he "went outside to smoke".

Image

The half mile mural on the flood wall, impressive

Image

Look out, it's the Mothman, he'll steal your beer if you're not careful.

Gang of toughs, hanging out at Marv's

Cabin accommodations at the Lafayette, perfect for the single traveller

The Saturday BBX feast begins..

Image

How many of these consumed will be an endless source of debate for BB's to come...

"I'm sorry, what is 'twerking'?"

Image

Pre Door Prize ice cream accompanied by...

This guy, singing all your Ray Stevens favorites

Image

BBX loot!!

BMWs make great dry bars

Stamps explain how Chinese hooch is made

And then it was time to cover up the bikes, another successful Beakster Bash comes to an end.

Great pics John. And now I know what to look for to find Marv's when I am in Sardis.

The trick on the rain was to look at the radar and go on the good roads in the opposite direction from where the rain was. And a little divine intervention.

And Thad should have been happy since there were 2 ice cream joints within walking distance.

Great pics and "commentary." Looks like y'all had fun!
That's a great area to ride
Would love to meet up with you guys again, but my schedule keeps conspiring against it.
