Sounds great Mike, we will be rolling down Thursday morning......hope to see ya there. I'll give you a call or text once we hit the Island. Hell I sure miss that two and a haft hour ride down to the Island, hell now I'm looking at around four and haft hours..........well depending on that famous H-Town traffic that is!
Take care and Cheer's from north Tejas.

 

I will be there for sure. Fun rally. Crowd was large last year.

 

Sure! I am about 40 mins away from the Island. Hit me up with an email closer to the week of the Rally. Craig

 

Where does every one hang at while on the Island?
I've always park on the strand, theres a lot of vendors there and people watching is good there.
Hopefuly the weather stays warm.
Two years ago it was too cold for the ***** to come out.

 

Lone Star Rally is our favorite of the year! Lookin foward to 2012!

 

I heard that, my wife just loves this rally too!
I think it's how all rally's should be, the City of Galveston does a great job putting this on.

 

Me and 3 guys are leaving from dallas thursday morning if any one wants to roll together..

 

I go every year. I'll be there Thursday-Sunday. Woody's, The Loading Dock, Crow's, The Spot, Captain Jacks @ the Holiday Inn Sun Spree all good spot's. I live about 45 minutes away so I know most of the places on the Island.

Woody's-True Biker Bar on the west end of the Island away from the Strand but right on the water and a huge deck and good bands.

The Loading Dock- True Biker Bar near the Strand on 25th. 25th runs N/S. 25th is the cross street at the end of the Strand. Turn left and go about a block up and it's on the left.

Crow's- Biker friendly actually on the strand. Kinda caters more to Tourists/Locals but the staff is real cool and they love bikers.

The Spot-Seawall Blvd., Crowded Biker friendly and some good Burgers. Have a restaurant and Bar side but did I mention crowded?

Captain Jacks- Bar at the Sunspree (Holiday Inn) Not as crowded. Great view of the water.

Murphy's Irish Pub- Right off the Strand on 22nd Street. Walking distance. Traditional Irish style pub.

Brick House Tavern- Kinda yuppyish... Nice place but kinda pricey. Like 20 or so different brews.

Hope this help you guys/gals riding in. If you have any questions I'll try my best to answer em. Ride safe and hope to see ya there.

 

Looking forward to it, feel like a kid waiting for Christmas! Been going almost every year since 04, even got the wife hooked on it! Looks like we'll be splitting a beach house with two other couples this year down at Pointe West. Anyone else staying on that side of town?

 

What time are y'all head 'in out, we are roll 'in out around 6am Thursday.
Trying to beat that morning traffic heading into the DFW area.
Cheer's from Tejas!
