Old, two wheeled beasts, Lucas electrical nightmares, Whitworth conversions, wiring diagrams in Italian, spanners, spraques, 110 octane petrol, long lost 5.5 mil. allen wrenches, too much coffee that's too black and too strong, asphalt and oil, gas and chrome, skinned knuckles and grease... If these are the things of your deepest, darkest, obsessions, then there is but one thing to do... Put your big boots on, find your helmet, kick that old lump over and RIDE that ancient two-wheeled spitfire demon from across the water and catch up with the ROADRUNNERS!

The Roadrunners British and European Motorcycle Association of Austin, Texas began on the 1st Sunday of June. 1994. Membership has always been free, there are no dues or fees, well, honestly...there is no formal membership...or formal meetings for that matter....all you have to do is ride to one of our events on an antique or vintage British, Italian, German, or Pacific Rim motorcycle... The older the better! (We look forward to seeing Specials, Sidecars and even old Hot Rods, so bring`em out).

Our next gathering is SUNDAY, Aug 29, 2010 from 2-5pm @ Justine's.

This will be our last gathering at Justine's before we move to the new location!


All,

...This Sunday is our last meeting at Justine's (29 August from 2-5PM). Good news is that the Roadrunners have a brand new location that seems to fit all the criteria of a perfect vintage motorcycle meeting place. What makes her so perfect? Great question and I'm glad you asked. We can park our bikes on site, watch our friends roll in, mingle among the bikes with a beer in your hand, yes with a beer in your hand! No more having to keep your beer behind a fence line. The parking lot is big enough to accommodate us all. The parking lot is centrally located between the food trailers. FOOD Trailers? Yes food trailers, Russell Walters, the fellow who owns The Cafe Racer food trailer has agreed to open up for us on Sundays... Thanks Russell!

...So now you have food for your bellies as you mill around the bike, something we couldn't enjoy in the past. What about beer? You guys have all the great questions today. BEER you now have TWO options, Option 1 is BYOB, how cool is that. Option 2 is even better so you don't have to worry about carting bottles in the sleeves of your leather jackets (all fun and games till you lay her down). Cheer Up Charlie's, the bar on the same compound, has graciously agreed to open for us on Sundays so we can buy from a good selection of beers from them. I know I thought the same thing..."Am I in heaven or what!"
You can buy your beer from Cheer Up Charlie's and take it to parking area or walk over to the food trailers. The food trailers have picnic tables under shade trees. The God of Vintage Motorcycle Gatherings is a great one and has smiled down on us all and with only the slightest gesture of the hand gave us the perfect place to gather. SEE YOU THERE!!!!

Kindest Regards,

Vincenzo

NEW LOCATION: 1104 E. 6th St 78702 (mapquest it), it's about a mile west of our old location. It's still centralized so there is no excuses for not rolling in on our favorite Deathtraps (don't get offended it's a plug for Billy he has just reopened Deathtrap, Mike Kingsley (The King) is the wrench so your stuff will be fixed right. Bring Billy your business keep your money local.)
DATE/TIME: First meeting time for the first meet at the new location is: 26 Sep 2-5PM.

Please look on our Rally page for the 2010 schedule but the general rule is Last Sunday of the month from 2-5pm.

 

BTW...This page is like many a project, so keep checking back for updates!

-Cheers!-
