Oyster Run 2012


History of the Oyster Run (largest motorcycle gathering in the Pacific Northwest)

[ed. Wow, what a great day. So much energy, so many happy, friendly people jamming together having a great time. I'd never experienced a rally close up before and wondered: what do people do? Race? Get tattoos? Party? (Maybe, but I didn't get invited to any of those events). It seems you mainly check out everyone else's bike, promenade up and down main street, rev your engine, and mingle with other people who love your passion as much as you do. It's a carnival atmosphere with lots of leather, food, music, motorcycle paraphernalia, and all kinds of other attractions. The most enjoyable part was just wandering among the thousands of bikes, taking pictures and feeling the rumble as a constant stream of riders motored past. I'd love to learn to do this.]
