Lucky Bikes, Blues and BBQ was a really fun time, don't make it a one day I'll get to it run, just do it. Shoot man I paid 6.00 for to taste 150 different types of BBQ from across the south, their sides and drinks too! Then there are 3 different bands each night, the party section of town, and some of the roads outbound to ride, I found everyone helpful, less "showboaters" there, maybe a younger type group cause of the University but still a real fun and welcoming time

been to daytona...rock and blues...biktoberfest..and fire and ice in the US, great bike rallies. But over here the bike scene is a very tight bunch. I think there's only 30,000 bikers in Ireland and maybe only 3000 would be regular rally goers, so our shows and rallyys are just one intermittant conversation, loaded with booze and musik, makes for a real tight crowd, posers not tolerated and no trouble. The biggest and probably the best is the Freewheelers MC in September, its like a last gathering of the unwashed before winter sets in...and we are all like squirrells storing up on booze and music and talk for the winter.

as for the best ride... any ride you share with friends, be it 20 miles or 2000 miles is good..I know the old saying is "its not the destination, its the journey"...well for me its who I take the journey with !
