I'm going to head down from Choctaw in the morning. Don't think I can miss this. Props to ECU for building a little bike show around this: ECU Bike / Art thingie.
i went down with friends this afternoon. drove from the city to ada. i thought the the lunch was from 12-2. apparently a lot of the riders just came by the checkpoint. we saw one guy do the checkpoint and then went and fond some of the bikes at a local gas station. the riders are more like engineers. especially when you can see them working on them.
The bikes started arriving about 11:00 and most were gone by 1:30. Never did see the Flying Merkel though. I guess he didn't make it. Most of the riders were willing to talk but you could tell they were on a schedule and ready to head down the road.
Spoke to one guy on a Harley that was literally a board track racer, low handlebars and no suspension front or back, rigid all the way around. That would be a hard 3200 mile ride. One of the Excelsiors was the same way.
Plenty of Harleys, Indians, and Excelsiors. The few were a Pope, a J.A.P., a Premier, a Henderson 4, and a BSA.
There was one Vincent Black Shadow there, but it was stashed away in a chase van. I was lucky enough to be taken aside for viewing. You can never go wrong with a Vincent.
