Default Easyriders in Memphis

Was a big dissapointment. I was expecting a huge turnout, being an Easyriders production, but no, not too big. I was expecting hundreds of bikes, might have been 50? I was expecting some big name bike builders there, no, but Jireh cycle was there handing out catalogs for toilet paper. The only good part of the show, was the perfect angels. Very nice. But thats pretty much it. I paid $4.50 for a cup of beer. Will not go back next year....

Sorry you had such a poor experience, I went to an Easrider show last April in Hartford, CT and it was really well done, countless bikes, vendors, builders etc and they had voting for a Biker Build - Off bike their too. Agree w/you about the outrageous beer costs though.

Bummer, I'm glad I didn't make the trip from Dallas. I really considered taking vacation and going to Memphis. I am pumped about Easyrider coming to Dallas. I hope its the event we all expect.

Sorry to hear that, I wanted to go as well, But other commitments precluded that. I guess it worked out. I think the weather probably had a big part in the low turn out. I would like to try and make one that was held at a time the weather was more suitable for riding. That should also entice more vendors and Builders as well.

I tell you how bad it was.

I have seen local bike nights here in my little po-dunk town with more bikes, more people, and more fun.

And to think.....I drove for over 4 hours and paid $15.00 a head to get in....

Wow! The one in Charlotte last weekend was great. THere was probably well over 200 bikes and jam packed. There were bike builders such as Paul Yaffee, Austin Weiss, Kendall Johnson, Bill Rucker, Ralph Randolph, and Randy Simpson. And yes I agree the Perfect Angelz where great. Sorry the Memphis show turned out so horrible.
