Bikes on the Bricks

[KarlS]

September 24th and 25th is the 4th annual Bikes on the Bricks in Flint Mi. They close off Saginaw St downtown and there is lots of bikes, food and fun. The Police motorcycle competition is on Saturday the 25th. Practice on Friday the 24th. Bike show with 8 categories on Saturday. My 83VR makes the Antiques. (1985 and older). Will be a fun time for all. I'm posting a breakfast meet and eat for 10:00am for any who would want to meet up and ride downtown together.

This is a pretty cool event, and getting bigger every year.

 

If you've never seen an LEO Motor Officer Rodeo, this is the place to do it. They limit the class to 75 bikes and they will have that many LEO riders there. They come from all over the state. Most of these guys can ride very well, and a few not worth a damn. I've run their obstacle course, and it's interesting to say the least.

This is the only Skills training/competition for these guys in the state.

 

The Friday practice is fun because the competitors are having fun and screwing around.....lots of bike lay downs.

 

When I get home from work tonight I'll post some pictures from last years event.

As promised, a few pics from last years event.

These are all from the Friday practice session.

Glenn, Karl, I'll be there Saturday for breakfast and the day. Should be a HOOT !!

I've been a couple of times and if the weather holds it will be Great this year.

I'll keep an eye on the post as time gets closer.

Sounds like a fun day. I too will keep an eye on the weather and as long as it's not raining, I hope to be there.

(also Walli's has a Super 8) There are now times posted for the events and shows, and also a directions map. If you are coming or thinking about coming you may want to check their web site from time to time. Looking forward to seeing all of you that can make it.

Looks like good weather on it's way for the 25th. Minnesota finally decided not to send rain for a weekend.

Friday evening there is a 30 mile Police escorted ride thru Genesee County.

Hope you all can make it. See you Saturday.

Hurt my back over the weekend so may not make it depending on how it heals. Currently the bike is parked and only riding I'm doing is in the easy chair.

If you make it give me a call on my cell and I'll let you know where we are at. Also Straycatt will have his bike and trailer in the bike show.

Sorry to hear that. Hope you heal quickly, I know about bad backs. Ouch.

Weather up date for Bikes on the Bricks. 78 and very windy today. Wind supposed to die down around 4:00am Saturday morning and become sunny and 65 degrees for the day. Hope to see some of you at breakfast at 10:00am. If you don't make breakfast and show up, look us up downtown.

Beth and I had made plans to attend, but we now have two boats coming in to load....so I'll be working all weekend.

 

There's good and bad in that....the money is nice, but it would be nice to have a weekend off as well. I'm on midnites this week and next, so throw the weekend in with it, and that's 12 midnites in a row.....I'm NOT a midnite type person. Don't sleep worth a dang, by the end of next week I'll be as ornery as a bear with a backside full of rocksalt!

 

Oh well, I'll have next weekend off for sure, I've put in for a vacation do so that I can have our Canadian Thanksgiving off.
