Motorcycle Biker Ralley

Motorcycle biker ralley is a big deal here in Texas. I know that there are big bike ralleys in Florida and California. Here in Austin, TX. we litterly stop the city and attend to all of the bikers that come from all over. After all, the live music capital of the world has some of the best biker scenes that there are.

In Austin, TX. our ralley is known as the R.O.T. Ralley (Republic of Texas). So many of our small business thrive off of the revenues generated through this ralley. I know that it doesn't compare size wise to the bigger ralley like Sturgis and so forth, But For a small large city like Austin, this ralley can definantly help curve our economy. To see the swarms of bikers on the streets running like packs of wolfs and and sounding like thunder rumbling over the valley is a wonderful experiance. I don't know if you are a small business owner or not, but if you are, that rumble should sound more like chi-ching.

If you own a small business in a city where biker ralleys occur, or even near, you should take advantage and put up signs saying, "Bikers are Welcomed". This simple jesture to a biker means that they know they are guest in at your place and it indicates that you are fully aware that the biker community generates a lot of revenue. Most of the bikers you see are everyday people like you and me from doctors, Glofers, teachers, construction workers, managers and bankers. Keep in mind ther next time a swarm of bikers passes you, they are your mother, father, brother or sister and be kind.

Last I would like to say is that if your intrested in attracting this motorcycle biker ralley to your town the next time they are around, What can you do to invite them to your palace.

With Respect

Somebody should send this to Myrtle Beach, they are busily trying to run bikers off.

Small businesses in the area’s of bike rallies already know that bikers mean money. Motel rooms double and triple in Daytona during Bike Week. Rooms are almost impossible to find at any price in Sturgis. Restaurants are filled and bars have standing room only.

A lot of the older folks dont like the noise and crowds and every year a few bikers bite the dust, the newspapers always like that, it gives them a chance to write editorials on helmet laws.

Most folks have a good time and there is little trouble, but lately I have seen a troubling trend. Newer people who have bought bikes want to bring their kids with them. Biker Rallies are no place for kids. Leave them home.

A Hollywood stereotype. After riding a motorcycle for 27 years I've found that criminals are a small sub-set of bikers, just as they are of the general public.

A Hollywood stereotype.

The Pagans, Hells Angels, Outlaws MC, the Mongols, the Bandidos, et al, are not Hollywood stereotypes.

They deal drugs, they racketeer, they pimp prostitutes, they commit murders and they go to biker rallies where I'm betting that a lot of you 99 percenters secretly wish you could be them.

I've been to an awful lot of bike rallies. I've yet to see a single outlaw biker gang member, at least one that was wearing the colors.

And my goal in life is to give glory to God.

Have a nice day.
