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!!!!
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!-
