Easy Rider Bike Show - Feb 5th. Knoxville, TN

With the exception of today, there have been very few days to squeeze in a Street bike ride for the past several weeks, and those of us jones-ing for a street ride are starting to get a little cabin fever.  No doubt that was taken into account when the date was picked for the Easy Riders Bike Show's Knoxville stop. It's next Saturday, February 5th.
This Show/Tour goes all over the country, so I'm guessing it travels with the same bikes (over 250 they say) with some locals adding to the show. I know for a fact that the invitation has gone out to some of the vintage guys in Knoxville. (guys with vintage bikes, not just old men.....You know what I mean)
Besides the Bike Show they have live music, stunt shows, the Purrfect Angels dancers, and a 5,000 foot Easy Riders Kids Zone!! This I find really interesting, because the best I remember, Easy Rider magazines were sold with a plastic cover to keep kids from looking at them. The first time I found one laying in the parts department at the bike shop I thought, "hmmm..... these aint Honda ads!",  but I digress.... let's assume that the Angels will be on the opposite end of the building from the Kids Zone.
All kidding aside, there should be some fine examples of custom bikes. Even if Custom Bikes aren't your thing, you have to appreciate the the skill that goes into those machines. Plus, it may be better than sitting at home looking at your own parked bike. It's at the Knoxville Convention Center, 10am to 8pm. Tickets are $18 for adults, $10 for Kids 4 -10yrs.
