Name That Bike This Weekend

Thursday June 12, 2008
The Republic of Texas Biker Rally brings thousands and thousands of motorcycles into town now through the weekend. Chances are there will be many a bike that you've never seen before. Here's a fun game for all of us: Name That Bike. See if you can identify each of the bikes you see between now and Sunday. And unless you stay holed up in your house all weekend, you can't help but spot dozens of motorcycles in and around town. To help you out, use this visual guide to different types of motorcycles from About.com Motorcycles Guide Basem Wasef.

There are several street closings connected with the ROT Rally. Additionally, other downtown activities this weekend -- Pride Parade & Pride Texas Festival, and the Peace of Mind 5K -- will have several downtown streets closed off on Saturday. Congress Avenue, Neches Street, 15th Street, and the 1st Street Bridge are some of the main downtown street closings to watch out for.

Matter of opnion and maybe location. Round these parts plenty of bikers ride motorcycles called bikes.

And cyclists ride bicycles called bikes.

Ain’t English wonderful?
