East Texas Biker: RVR '25

Region V annual Rally, always a great time! Been going to regionals since I joined in '18. Every year, gets better and better. My breadth of friends and acquaintances continues to grow, seeing new and old faces every year. Next year, Oklahoma again! Last time, finally met our prior National Prez Mutt there. I've got some good memories from that one; hell all of them.

Sadly, only Dutch and I rolled out together. We'd run on Hwy 80 for most of it, getting slammed by the rain for a short period. Wingnut rolled seperate; not sure why. Block rolled later. One More rolled in unexpectedly getting the day off. Chief and Kat had to Canx. Lucy caged in with Carron. Saturday morning, Fluffy caged in with the family. Audie Murphy Chapter is in the house!

This was at the Bossier City's Horseshoe Casino, not too bad. Room could have been cleaner and better equiped (cofffee, etc) but did the job. Parking was covered and free so not too bad. Lucy and I jumped on the bike, headed down the road to the Meet n' Greet with Dutch where we found our family gathering. Went Commando in Overalls because.. well... that's what everyone was doing! LMAO. Funny part is .. Lucy and I didn't flip into Commando style until we were there; I didn't believe that was the requirment to earn the patch. But, pulled it off in the end. Few hours later, headed back to the hotel, had some after dinner drinks and pulled the plug.

Up early, 0900 we were swimping and checking out the vendors. Meeting started promptly at 1000 and it was a full house! Our chapter took up most of the back row we were in and 45 min later, meeting was over.... let the rally continue! Well, lucy and I and Dutch hit the pool 20 minutes later and the fun began. Like a foo, I set myself up for failure. Ordered Frozen Margaritas and had them add a shot of Patron on top of each to ensure they were 'good'. Yep.. they were fucking good becuase four hours later I was fucked up. SMH! Lucy drug my ass back to the room, grabbed a quick nap and we had dinner reservations at 1900hrs at the Steak House. My dumbass should have stayed in the room and got room service but nooooooo... I had to go to dinner and be... that guy. Good thing there were a few pics taking because ... otherwise .. it didn't happen. Yep, there I was with a shit eating grin, eyes half open. SMH.

Well, next morning .. feeling rought but on the bikes before 0800 and headed home! We'll zip down the innerstate and in record time, home before 1100.

It's Sunday Funday ... so headed out to Brewbirds.... somebody needed a Bloody Mary ...
