Galveston Hosts Biker Weekend.
This weekend our normally quiet Island will roar. The bikers mostly are respectful of those living here. and it brings a little bit of excitement in a normally quiet time of year. Its nice when our little Island gets some attention in the The New York Times. even if it is in the Travel Section.
No burnouts or wheelies are allowed in Galveston's historic downtown district, the Strand, but somehow that rule might be violated when motorcycle enthusiasts from around the country descend on the island Sept. 23 to 26 for the Lone Star Motorcycle Rally. Many of the top builders of custom motorcycles attend, and 120,000 cycles and 150,000 spectators are expected. Highlights include a downtown pub crawl and a burnout contest at Lazy Oaks Ranch Outwest Saloon, 12410 Stewart Road; (409) 737-5260. Event information is available at (281) 597-8800 or visit www.lonestarrally.com.
The article is rather long and describes Galveston in glowing terms,
