Bikes, Blues & BBQ went off without a hitch this year from what I can tell and have heard. I haven't heard of any major trouble of any kind. I did see a couple of lesser police problems as they unfolded. Basically the same things you see at any gathering, One guy was way too drunk in public and a minor that was bound and determined to be part of the show. Both were dealt with quietly and professionally.
This, the fifteenth year, seemed to me to have been a bit smaller than previous years. I didn't see the flashy custom bikes on the curb that I've seen in years past. There were several, just not the numbers from the past gatherings. It even seemed to me that the crowds were down. You could get up and down Dickson st. without too much difficulty. Maybe it was because the event organizers have been try to spread the thing out over a greater area?
All in all, this was a fun three days for me. Lots of bikes and biker types. I even found some good food. The vendors were not too hard to deal with, I got a couple of things for the new ride pretty reasonable. So all that with my Photography ambitions, all was good. I'll probably try it again next year.
This particular ride was reminiscent of the legendary "Road dog." It did get up and down the road pretty well.
