What's happening during Bluebonnet Thunder Rally ?!!!!!!
« on: March 05, 2014, 03:07:11 PM »

For those new members on the board or new riders,  BBT (Bluebonnet Thunder Rally) has been our annual Texas X Riders Rally.  Typically located in the Texas Hill Country during wild flower season, mainly the bluebonnet 

Never been to the area and aren't quite convinced on attending here's a little tidbit on what to expect. 

RR 335, 336, & 337 - The three twisted sisters.  One of the most if not the most popular roads for a motorcyclist. 

The route consist of about 131 miles starting from Medina, TX with some fantastic views, pretty hilly. 

For the novice rider, these roads are traveled lightly but be careful as it does have some sharp curves and hairpins thrown in there. 

In our group of riders we have fast riders and slow riders.  Feel free to ask and don't be shy about it.  I'm one of those sLOW riders  O0

I like looking at the scenery, not the blur of the white lines.

Of Course it's dirty. It's hard to clean when the tires keep moving.

 :good: I'm the same way. I don't see the point to go all the way out there and not see the scenery.

We also have some MC games planned...fun and challenging...take your pick.   

This is the type of event where you can come and socialize, eat, ride, relax, sightsee, shop...some of it or all of it...whatever you want.

Lets go to Luckenbach Texas!!!!!

How about a beer with Hondo Crouch?!



Maybe you don't want to take on a long ride but would rather bask in the sun or rain enjoying a cold beer with a couple hundred other bikers listening to some tunes.

 

Luckenbach is only a short 50-70 miles depending on the route you take on what will be some great roads.  

Hwy 16 north from bandera is definitely a pleasure to ride with some moderate skill needed on a small portion of the road.  


 

Interested in going....click on the floating banner in my signature....Hope you can make it!!!!

Hell.....if you're gonna be riding to Luckenbach you might as well ride on over to Willow city loop.



It's a 20 mile loop that you'll wish was triple that distance.  Some of best scenery is found here but You'll only know if go!

Double Ditto Matap's suggestion of the Willow City Loop.  It is a gorgeous and gentle ride.

So you got a hankering for some Honky Tonk & Hank Williams Jr'esque type fun


This place is so close you can beer a drink and walk there....errrr  :c  It's two minutes to get there for most  :drool:




Looks equally fun inside too. 



Yes, those is some brassieres or more commonly know to you bikers as: Over the Shoulder boulder holder, Chest Basket, Hooter Holder (no not the Hooter we know  :ohwow:), Titty Cage, Upper Decker Flopper Stopper, Boobie Basket, and for you of the German descent....a Stoppemfloppin....ah you get the idea.

Also in walking distance of the campground is Arkey Blue's Silver Dollar Saloon. Arkey Blue is a Texas tradition singing songs he's written over many years. You can see him perform live on most Saturday nights or listen to his songs on the jukebox.

A few local songwriters and performers gather to sing and play on Saturday afternoons. Note: Don't put your fingers too deep in the tip jar. They keep a live scorpion in there  :ohwow:

On the mantle of the fireplace there are several small plaques engraved with the names of couples that have been married there, (yes, even mine). Just find the General Store across from the OST Restaurant and go through the red door and down the stairs.
