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.
