Ironsteed Harley-Davidson's Hot Rods & Harleys show has become an annual event, and, a good one. Spectator's parked motorcycles filled the entire street.

This is a family event, so, if the other half and optional kids are not all that into wheels yet, there was entertainment
to keep them busy - a merry-go-round, a train, and, if that was not enough there was all kinds of food vendors spreading
the smell of BBQ, even grilled oysters if you are so inclined - I'm not. And, if you feel the need to work a few kinks out
or get a few lumps there was a mechanical bull test your riding skill.

There was a wide variety of vendors, and, the dealership was open for shopping, whether for a new ride, parts, or a new T-shirt. And Thunder Roads Magazine NorCal was there with free magazines and calendars.

The hot rods included
entries from the 1930's through the 1980's. There was something for everyone whether you are a fan of classic old street rods
whether stock or modified body, lead sleds whether Cadillac convertible or Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight, old muscle cars like Chevy
Nova or Malibu, pick-m-up trucks with tilt front end and nice wood planking in the bed, and, even something for me, a picky
spectator who long ago had and loved an deuce Ford 5-window coupe that was chopped and channeled.

The Harleys included entries from the 1930's through the present day. There was something for everyone whether you are a fan of
vintage iron, long and low baggers, high and fast lane splitters/canyon blasters, full on custom, and, even something for me,
a picky spectator who long ago bought and loved a 1945 80cid Knucklehead, and, had a sidecar (on a Panhead), and the black knuck
here was beautifully restored with an attached sidecar.

There were 13 bike and 6 car categories and really cool trophies. Ok, enough bla bla bla (so there will be more room for photos), but, suffice it to say, plan on getting out to Ironsteed
Harley-Davidson next June for this outstanding event!
