Anyone in the area come on by. Don't let me be the only BMW there!  :falldown:

Will be heading back down there in the morning and staying all day.
Hope to get a few Pix's to share.

Great ride down Saturday morning. 71 degrees and cloudy keeping the ride cool and the bikes were running great.
We took HWY. 178 from Olive Branch to Holly Spring for a slow and easy ride.
Made it there about 11am.

Finding a parking spot was no problem as there was not many people there yet.
It had rained the night before and drove some of the Friday night crowd away but still not a bad turn out for a 1st time event.
There was few vendors there but not that much bike stuff, Mostly T-shirts and jewelry stalls. The bike stuff was all HD/Cruiser hardware.
There was 5 or 6 food stalls but selection was really limited. Burgers, Catfish, Hotdogs, Fries, etc. etc.

Next year they may want to get more Vendors and Food Stalls, and try selling Beer. Everyone there commented that they had to leave the area to get more beer.

The drag races were ok and they had some funny cars there for show runs.
Bike time for the Pros were good and the Amateurs were fun to watch also.

Started to cloud up about 3:30pm and the smell of rain was in the air. So we decided to make the run back home.
On the way back just outside of Olive Branch it started pouring and we had to find a place to hide until it let up some.
I got back about 5pm and dried out the bike and myself.
All in all it was fun and I did meet a lot of good people.
Almost all the bikes were cruisers or touring style bikes.
I did see 1 BMW-R bike but that was it. (Us Mid-South Riders need to make a better showing at events!)

Thanks for looking and hope you enjoy the pictures.
