Choppers, cycles, steel-horses, hogs, bikes, motorcycles. Whatever you call them, if you're an enthusiast, you're here at Bike Week. The legendary meeting spot for all things motorcycles is taking place right now in Casa Del Mar's backyard.A tour of our underground garage, which during this time doubles as a museum-quality exhibition, would even make the most hardened of all riders as giddy as a school girl.
Perhaps just as colorful as these bikes are their riders. Gentlemen (and ladies) garbed in the black leather that has become synonymous with the terms rebel, outlaw, biker. However look underneath these layers of rawhide and you might find a lawyer, doctor, accountant; perhaps that fellow owner you shared a laugh with last year in Myrtle Beach.
But that true motorcycle purist, that character from Easy Rider or The Wild One, the person who has devoted his life to the pursuit of the perfect ride, he is the one you should meet. He is the stuff of legends and stories; some of which he will be more than happy to share. Tales that roll off his tongue as smoothly as a sip of bourbon. Tales that get just a bit taller with each telling.
Enjoy the sounds of rolling thunder, the sounds of raucous laughter, the sounds of friendly banter. After this week, for better or for worse, the area becomes a lot more quiet.
