Even with bad weather looming , and occasional bursts of rain , we had a great time at the Bayou Thunder Bike Fest at Mike Bruno ’ s Northshore Harley- Davidson . Angel was there on Friday for the Kick-off and Bike show , and I was there all day Saturday . There were a variety of vendors for food and merchandise , and B . A . C . A . and Galloping Goose MC both had booths set up as well . Music was provided by bands Slingblade and Five Finger Discount , both were pretty fun .
The hightlight of the day was the Urias Family “ Globe of Death ”, with several performances throughout the day . This family is now into it ’ s 5th generation of riders learning to ride in the Globe , going back over 100 years . We will have an interview with the family in an upcoming issue , and hope to see them in Louisiana again later in the year .
The “ BADASS WHEEL of PRIZES ” was also a lot of fun , and could win you a trip into the “ Bayou Thunder Storm ”, a glass booth where you tried to catch as many Bruno Bucks as you could pull out of the air .
We were unable to attend on Sunday due to the CoC meeting in Alexandria . The weather was clearing by then , so it should have been another great day . The Strays and Chee Weez were scheduled to play , and 3 performances by the Urias family in the Globe of Death were also on the bill . We also missed the Miss Bayou Thunder Bike Fest Bikini Contest . Some lucky guy won a 2016 Dyna Street Bob FXDB Motorcycle , with proceeds going to Childern ’ s Hospital .
