May 17 \u00b7 Bryant\u2019s Ice House \u00b7 Katy, Texas<\/em><\/p>\n

It was one of the biggest parties of the year for Houston bikers. For a small club Pair-A-Dice really knows how to throw a successful party. The weather was perfect for the hundreds of bikes – and it seemed – an equal number of pickup trucks.<\/p>\n

In Houston there is no place better to have a big event than Bryant\u2019s Ice House. Owner Gloria was as gracious and as georgeous as ever and as she and her staff worked hard to keep up with the thirst of the crowd.<\/p>\n

Vendors galore including our personal favorite, C&S Leathers. The Dyna-Jet folk were there doing performance tests on bikes, there was a Hog that you could get your picture taken on (A real hog, stuffed. That porker must have weighed in at 500# before he became bacon) a variety of food vendors including the perennial Texas favorite – Bar-B-Cue.<\/p>\n

The band kept the crowd entertained so there was no \u2018downtime\u2019 between the bike show and other special events.<\/p>\n

It seemed that almost every club in town was represented – Bandidos, Amigos, High Rollers, Wind and Fire (a new club in Houston of Firefighters), Just An Attitude, and Gypsies as well as members of HOG Chapter #1.<\/p>\n

Hats off to all the clubs that came out in support of Pair-A-Dice.<\/p>\n

In the \u201cnever thought I would live to see the day\u201d department, many bikers were surprised when \u201cMr. Harley\u201d, himself, Jerry Couch, showed up on a BMW – marriage and a new baby must do strange things to people. Jerry\u2019s explanation was that the BMW is made in Germany and doesn\u2019t burn rice. Although we don\u2019t quite get the logic of that it must be clear to Jerry. Jerry is a great biker friend so we hope he doesn\u2019t mind a little kidding. When he turns out at an event on the Beemer wearing sandals and shorts it will be time to hold a benefit for him. After trying in vain to keep up with a harley-riding Jerry in the curves I don\u2019t even want to be close when he does it on a BMW. Jerry, ride safe!<\/p>\n

The party lasted well into the afternoon more and more bikers kept showing up. The \u2018bare as you dare\u2019 event topped off the scheduled events of the afternoon. The winner took home the $250 in prize money – the spectators enjoyed a fun show.<\/p>\n\n\n
