Bike Nights

If I ever went blind and I had to remember what something looks like or how I felt when I was there, it would be Tuesday night's ride to Whistlin' Jack Lodge. It really has to be one of the more beautiful places in the world. I smells fantastic and it gives me some sort of peace while I am there. Taking a motorcycle ride up there is even better.

Get a bunch of bikers, some loud rock and a few beers together and you never know, somebody might get an idea or two. And just as Tuesday night's Central Washington Bike Nights at Whistlin' Jack Lodge was winding down, somebody got the idea of having a burning competition...

Washington really is such a beautiful state. From the top to the bottom and even some of the desert spots in the middle of the state. The Yakima River Canyon is gorgeous. The hop fields in Moxee are always fun to look at. But one of my favorite trips is going toward Chinook Pass. It is breathtaking. This Tuesday (June 20) you can join me on that beautiful ride.

Central Washington Bike Nights was a blast June 14 at Mickeys Pub/Orion Movie Theatre. We had a ton of fun and some killer prizes were given out.

Tonight (June 13) is another Central Washington Bike Nights, and you have only two more weeks to get signed up for the Legendary Sturgis Buffalo Chip camping and concerts at the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally with Owens Harley-Davidson.  This evening's gathering runs from 6-8 at Mickey's Pub/Orion Movie Theatre, 202 E. Chestnut Ave. -- and they have some of the best food on this trip.

Central Washington Bike Nights hit the road June 6th and went straight past some of Gods best work. The famous Yakima Valley Hops farms. It was an amazing ride and the party was pretty dang fun too. Owens Harley-Davidson showed up and helped with the festivities. Pepsi helped with a ton of swag to give out.  We gave away a ton of prizes and the people partook in some of the best Yakima Valley Hops

Central Washington Bike Nights hits the road tonight (June 6) to the Creek Roadside Grill and Bar, 108 S Iler St. in Moxee. We will be there from 6-8 p.m. having a good time. What's so cool about this Bike Night is that it's in Moxee and you can ride past all those amazing hop. It is hop country after all. It still blows my mind that we provide most of the hops for North America's beer.

When I got to The Porch in Ellensburg for Tuesday night's Central Washington Bike Nights, I was freaking out. Mother Nature was not being nice to me. It started pouring down rain. I said to myself that there was no way that 130 bikes are going to get here in this crappy weather. Boy, was I wrong.

It is another Central Washington Bike Nights! Tonight (May 30) we're headed to Ellensburg for a stopoff at The Porch. It probably goes without saying, but you'll want to take the Canyon Road. I find it scary to come back to Yakima through the canyon, but it is so beautiful!

Central Washington Bike Nights at the Warehouse Sports Bar and Grill on 11th Avenue in Yakima was huge Tuesday night (May 23) -- more than 130 motorcycles and a bunch of vehicles showed up! We honored our fallen bikers, and dedicated this week's gathering to our friend Nathan Thompson, who died suddenly on Monday. Everyone paid their respects.

The morning of Monday, May 22, a very good friend of everyone was taken suddenly from us. Nathan Thompson was found dead in his bed. He always came to Bike Nights and was a friend to everyone in the community. This Tuesday's (May 23) Central Washington Bike Nights at the Warehouse in Yakima, 11th Avenue and Tieton Drive, will be dedicated to Nathan and his wonderful memory.

Sure, it was a little breezy. So what? It's Yakima -- get over it. And that's just what the nearly 80 bikers who rolled into Westside Pizza for the first Central Washington Bike Nights event of 2017 did Tuesday night.
