I'm meeting a few friends (15),  at Coaches on Hwy 290 at Jones Road at around 11:00 for a drink and a bite to eat before heading out at noon (KSU 12:00).   I know thats out of the way for some of you guys to meet with us.  So.......look for us at Stubbs!  My Honda is white with Casper airbrushed on the tank.  Come say high!

I talked to my buddy who works at Stubbs.  They have 750 registered riders as of this morning.  Possibly as many as 1,000 by ride time.  Ride starts at San Jac HD with 500 and expect to pick up another 500 at Stubbs.  All will be riding into downtown ending at House of Blues.  The sound of that many bikes will rival Rolling Thunder in Wash DC.  It will sound awesome!  Supposed to be direct ride with all crossings, exits and on-ramps blocked.  Entire ride is Police escorted supposedly a minimum of 17 motorcycle cops and and unknown number of cage cops blocking everything.  All parking lots near the HOB will be reserved for bikes.

I wish I knew how to get on top of a building on the route to see/hear this spectacle.

That would be sweet to get a video of all the bikes rolling into to downtown.  I always love big rallies like this.  always sounds damn good with that many bikes.  :D

So what's the name of the new Blues Bar downtown Houston? I'd be interested in knowing if someone can pass it along.

Thanks,
