Well, this ain't gonna be near as exciting as Simon's ride out in Utah, but it'll have to do for us for now!

This year marks the 10th anniversary of the all-bike rally in Hot Springs, Arkansas.  I've been for 7 of the 10 years, and it's always a good time.  There are typically 3-6 thousand bikes every year, and the town is just fun to cruise around, especially at night.

Anyway, let's get started.
The next few are pictures are of downtown at the Convention Center where the vendors and concerts happen.

This guy forgot to take his date into the convention center with him.  Must have been the dress code or something...

Indian Motorcycles was a huge presence at this rally.  They had test rides going on here, and two huge booths inside the convention center.  There is no Harley dealer anymore in Hot Springs, and the Little Rock dealership brought down only about 30 bikes and half of those were used.  Only one CVO...see next post.

Kind of a lackluster showing for HD, and only this new '16 RGU in the lineup.  All the other CVO's were used.

Compare the previous CVO to this beauty.  Gotta tell you, I love that leather!
But, I'll stay with my trusty HD for now, baby!

This guy had put a lot of love into this setup.  Very impressive!

Leaving the Austin Hotel after a few beers and headed to the concert next door at the convention center.  The weather was as good as you could want, dry and clear.

[RGlideKid]

The line for the concert is finally moving!  There were at least 500 people in the immediate line just inside the convention center.

I'll give you three guesses who the real stars of the show were that Friday night!

[RGlideKid]

Don Barnes.  Simply awesome!
Patty and I really love these guys!

One more of many I took that night.  We were about 8' from the stage, and I couldn't hear myself think.

The accommodations were very nice.  Condo right on Lake Hamilton with carport! 
This was the morning view.

And from that same location, a panoramic shot looking to the south.

And if you turn around, behind you is the Observation Tower.  Not for the faint of heart.
