2011 Lone Star River Run / Bachelor Party (Part 1)

I didn't make it to the first River Run last year but I had heard it was a great time. Plans were made this year to combine the River Run and my bachelor party ride. What kind of run would it be if I wasn't scrambling to finish a bike the night before? Here is Joe making his first test ride at 7:30 the night before, this bike was a bare frame at lunch. We put a few miles on it, tweaked a few things and called it good...


Joe and I met Kirk in Dallas Friday morning and then headed south. We hooked up with Shawn, Omar, and Set in Waco...


Joe's bike was holding together fairly well at this point. The only problem was the lack of a kickstand...


Somewhere in Austin traffic we met up with Mike, Bob, and Joe T. They fell right in line with us on 35 and we rolled 9 deep all the way to the river. We got to camp after dark, unloaded the bikes and headed to the River Road Icehouse...



Everyone was up early the next morning. I love the Texas hill country...


Omar's Evo, Joe T's shovel, and Mike's Pan...


Nice bike...for a hairdresser........





Set's sportster...


Shawn's cone shovel...


Dirty Kirk...


I couldn't stop drooling over this pan-shovel...







Don't let this guy ride in front of you. Permanent hearing loss for all that follow...



Nice guy, really nice Knucklehead...



After breakfast it was decided that we would head to Luckenbach and check out the Harvest Classic, a vintage British bike gathering. A few stops on the way...
