I'm not a big fan of large gatherings. If anyone can remember this far back.... When it comes to biker groups, this is me....

Maybe I'll plan a ride down to visit the 3 Sisters while all the PoPo are distracted with this event :mrgreen:

Thanks. So is this a motorcycling event, or is it something else?

I believe so, from what I've been able to gather it's the Texas version of the Sturgis rally.

Oops! :oops: I missed that. Evidently, I’m not back 100%. :lol: Actually, my doctor is telling me it will take 6-8 weeks to fully recover, so I’m about halfway there. Still tire easily.

I went about 5 years ago and told myself I would not go back as long as they posted 30.06 (or 07) on a public street that has been closed off

Wondering if I'll see anyone there from this forum.
I'll probably just ride in on Friday night and attend some festivities downtown but I am staying away from the campground craze.

Does anybody know whether the APD will illegally post the whole 6th street as 30.06 again? (as chief Acevedo used to like to do)
I am not a big rally goer, so I probably will avoid it. But I wouldn't mind a get together for members of the forum if enough of us are going to be in the area. Maybe a Friday dinner or a Saturday lunch meetup, somewhere like Lockhart or Buda (close to Austin but away from the crowd).

He was fired ... ahem ... offered a "better" position ... and is now destroying Houston lives one day at a time.

Is there a hotline where we could call the APD to inquire about possible illegal signage in their city? I don't mind calling but I am unable to find a good phone number.
If you bought a ticket then you have agreed to the terms and conditions. Good luck getting anyone in Austin to care about your complaints!

Get your facts straight, Acevedo is originally form Cuba, made a stop over in Commiefornia. :nono:
