    The website says that Mikey, Vinnie, and Cody will be signing autographs in the morning and afternoon, but it doesn't specifically say what time they will get there on Thursday.

    I will definitely get out there (I work on the island, for God's sake), and will absolutely get pictures. Maybe bobrek or smeggy can host them for me.

    I agree, and that's what really makes the show great IMHO. The clash of the egos boiling over puts a smile on my face. And the other guys (Mikey, Vinny, Cody, Campo, etc....) I tell ya, it's like the cast of Gilligan's Island: different personalities working together. Great show. Wish I could make it to Galveston.

    From the OCC website:

    Lone Star Motorcycle Rally
    OCC will be in attendance with our theme bikes on display as well as our retail apparel for sale. Mikey, Vinnie and Cody will be signing autographs from 12-2 and 4-6 each day.

    I didn't make it to any of the shows, but I was all over the island Saturday night, and I've never seen so many bikes. They were EVERYWHERE.

    I skipped it on Saturday cause of the weather... I'm gonna try to make it to the San Marcos Bike Show where OCC will once again grace our great state.

    I was in Galveston to check on the house after Ivan (nada).

    I've never seen so many overweight white guys with doo-rags in one place before. We are down in Jamaica Beach but still the highway was jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power drive.

    Actually the constant hog rumble sounded pretty cool and there were some really gorgeuos custom bikes. It was good for the local econmy too. All the rent houses were full of bikers but everyone seemed well behaved. there were no more emergency vehicles than any other weekend.

    On the way home Sunday afternoon we passed 7 different highway patrol cars. But all but one had pulled over cars, only one had a biker.



    Got a star on my car and one on my chest,
    A gun on my hip and the right to arrest
    I'm the guy who's the boss on this highway
    So watch out what you're doin' when you're drivin' my way
    If you break the law, you'll hear from me, I know
    I'm a-workin' for the state, I'm The Highway Patrol

    I'm the highway patrol, the highway patrol,
    My hours are long, and my pay is low
    But I'll do my best to keep you driving slow
    I'm just a-doin' my job, I'm The Highway Patrol

    My wife and I had planned on going, but we had several things come up and would have only been able to go for about 2 hours on Saturday. I didn't want to ride for 4 hours just to look for 2.

    And yeah Jr. Brown rocks!!

    That show and all the other new shows on Discovery Channel are really addicting. It really makes my Monday nights go by real quick watching them.
