RUN FOR YOUR LIFE, IT'S BIKER MADNESS IN TUCSON!!! MAKE WAY FOR "TUCSON THUNDER."

ONCE A YEAR IN TUCSON COMES AN EVENT CALLED "TUCSON THUNDER." THAT'S WHEN BIKER BOB AND BARB (IF THOSE FOLKS FOUND OUT I CALLED THEM THAT, THEY'D FIND MY HOUSE AND FIRE BOMB IT) TAKE OVER DOWNTOWN WITH THEIR HARLEY DAVIDSONS AND HAVE A BLAST. AND SO DID WE.

JUST TO PROVE THEY WERE REALLY HERE IN TUCSON, I INCLUDED THIS SHOT SHOWING THE RIALTO THEATER IN THE BACKGROUND.

AND TALK ABOUT NUTS (NO, NOT THE HUMAN KIND) THE AROMA FROM THE ROASTING PEANUTS WAS OVERWHELMING. ESPECIALLY THE CINAMOM FLAVORING. WOW, THAT SMELLED GOOD.

HEY, LOOK WHO CAME ALONG.
STEPHEN!
STEVE CAME IN FOR A VISIT AND TOOK IN TUCSON THUNDER, AS WELL AS A TWENTY SOMETHING MILE BIKE RIDE. STEVE HAD HIS BEAUTIFUL TITANIUM FRAMED BIANCHI CYCLE SHIPPED IN FOR THE OCCASION. IT LOOKS LIKE HE HAD A GREAT TIME. I KNOW THAT MONICA CERTAINLY LOVED HAVING HIM HERE. ME TOO.

WHOA! LOOK AT THIS. MONICA AND ME, IN MY FANCY NEW FEDORA. I GOTTA PUT SOMETHING OVER MY CHAPEAU, CAUSE OTHER WISE IT'S GONNA TURN BRIGHT RED! MONICA IS LOOKING GOOD. AND SHE'S STARTING TO REGAIN HER STRENGTH AFTER THE OPERATION. EASY DOES IT.

AFTER A NICE LUNCH AT CAFE ROMA AND A STROLL AROUND ROLLING THUNDER, WE STOPPED OFF AT BEAUTIFUL ST. AUGUSTINE'S CHURCH. THIS IS THE FRONT VIEW OF THE JUST REPAINTED CHURCH.

AND THIS IS ANOTHER VIEW OF THE FRONT OF THE CHURCH. JUST A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE. HONEST.

I THOUGHT THIS WAS A FITTING WAY TO END THE TUCSON THUNDER POST, GIVEN THE SUBJECT MATTER. YOU MAY NEED TO LEFT CLICK THE PHOTO TO SEE WHY. AND BELIEVE ME, THAT'S NOT ALL THAT WAS THERE BEFORE I WAS (STRONGLY) ADVISED TO EXERCISE A LITTLE CENSORSHIP.
HAVE FUN YOU BIKER BOB AND BARBS! THE CONGRESS HOTEL AND BAR AWAIT YOU ONLY A FEW DOORS AWAY.
