A Weekend of Inspiration

This weekend I had the pleasure to dedicate it  to friends and things that go fast with wheels. From Rockabilly bands to car shows to motorcycle meet ups, I was a happy girl. I am beyond pleased that I am not alone in the United Counties of Texas when it comes to vintage motos though I am quickly finding out that the community is much larger in Austin for both Rockabilly and cafe racers.

I started off Friday night seeing a few rockabilly bands and even a band that well, you can't put a label on. It was nice to go out and wear my usual get up without stares from the Dallas elite. I will certainly check out this band again.

  

Saturday I headed off to work and promptly made my way to Denton for a vintage car/motorcycle show. I have never been to Denton and I was pleasantly surprised by the laid back feel it had. I suppose it reminded me of Texas's version of Fort Collins, CO. I made my way through the acres of cars admiring the cars and very few motorcycles. After a few hours in the sun and taking in the sights I made my way back to Dallas where I hit up Moto Liberty's Grand Opening Party. It was nice to chat to Peter about the Rocker/Cafe Racing community and I think that I will be buying a cool helmet to add some brightness to my typical black moto wardrobe.

Saturday night ended with friends from back home in Colorado that are unfortunately moving back... Common guys I just got here. ;0) After what seemed like a few hours of sleep I was back at it with taking myself to brunch at a awesome restaurant called Smoke and then off to the Travel & Adventure Show at the Dallas Convention Center. I wanted to go to the International Motorcycle Show, but $18 seemed liked a lot of money for what it had to offer. I finally ended up going to the Dubliner where I found a nice crew of two wheeled enthusiasts. I had a great time talking to everyone and I finally feel like I'm beginning to have a social network.

Now back to figuring out my electrical issues...
