We’re back in the garage after a jaunty showing at the West Texas Motorcycle Show this past weekend in Midland.

We shared display space with Performance Motorcycles – an Army bike that saw military action, a Ducati, a couple of racers… we were in an elite crowd!

The stunt show performers took to the air on Saturday and managed to get a little recognition for attempting to land without the ramp late in the afternoon. Not really. The winds of West Texas shifted and knocked the guy out. He was lucky and he’ll have a story to tell. On Sunday the winds whipped up worse and pulled the stunts.

But! There was the Basin’s Biker Beauty contest, the Best Bike Contest, and a Slow ‘Yo Roller Bike Ride… watching a Kawasaki ZXR balance and roll the slowest against a Harley or two was quite the spectator sport.

We chatted up the West Texas Motorcycles.Net guys while watching Sunday’s broadcast of MotoGP on their screen.  It’s a growing forum for riders like me who live in the wilds of West Texas. This covers anything west of DFW/Austin/San Antonio and east of El Paso. With more events and air shows coming up over the next few months, we’ll be keeping tabs as we’re on the road.
