Easyriders Rodeo: Wilson, NC
News July 14th, 2008Here’s a shot of the bike:
To win it, you need to attend the Rodeo in Chillicothe, OH (Aug. 27th – Sept. 1st). To my understanding, when you enter the event, you get a numbered wristband. On Saturday night, they announce the winner, and you have 120 seconds to make yourself known before they move on to the next person. It’s supposed to pretty insane. We drove most of the way (about 800 miles), but I did put in the last 150 on Saturday morning.
As usual, Matt was the designated / navigator / beer getter / shit talker.
It was decided that the official beer of the trip would be Modelo Especial.
If you’ve never seen the Easyriders setup, it’s really first class. Here’s a few shots of the Easyriders truck which hauls the bikes that are currently on the Centerfold tour. As John Green said, it was starting to look like the Detroit Bros. Centerfold tour. The Dragster on the right, and the 2007 Easyriders Tour Bike on the left, which is owned by John Green.
The new give-away bike.
Here’s a shot of Jerry Burroughs’ centerfold bike. It’s so long I had to angle the camera.
Check out this tank and primary!
There were also some pretty cool bikes that were entered in the “ride-in” show…
Another really cool part of the Rodeo are the events themselves… Here are a few shots of the tractor pull bikes, which I personally found inspiring.
After a long day of drinking, we found an excellent little mexican joint just down the street.
Who’s that mysterious gentleman over in the dark corner, you ask? Well, we never actually got a named, but we dubbed him Jean-Luc. He had a quiet eeriness to him one usually associates with the serial rapist or habitual pedophile.
Another great part of the Rodeo is the shit that goes down in the campground. If you have tits, for better or worse, you are implicitly agreeing to show them off by entering the campgrounds. ***Warning, if you are easily made sick, you may want to stop reading this post as it contains nudity in a very unfortunate kind of way***
These guys looked pretty official.
Yes, in answer to your query, that is a beer bottle in the anus of that blow up doll.
Yikes!
Sadly, this was the best rack we saw the whole time.
