I always heard, the reason Texas doesn't fall off into the Gulf, is because Oklahoma sucks.
Lmao.. I work with a guy that's from Oklahoma and he says the same thing all the time as to why we in Texas exist.. lmao.. I went to Oklahoma City and couldn't find a damn thing to do.. good luck!

Are you talking about the street racing crap? Thats whats the 405 stickers are about. But no my forum name has nothing to do with that, i dont even have cable in order to watch the show lol. There is also some wanna be gangs that use the 405 as part of their business. But i dont have any affiliation with that either.

I was just referring to a pride deal.. I know some cities have area code pride deals.. I saw about 8 or 9 trucks with that 405 real big on the back windows when I was there.. lol

That crap is everywhere. It use to be fun to watch the street racing before it became a tv show. Back probably close to a decade ago. When it was actually street cars and cops actually came to arrest people not just show up for a show. But of course main stream media has to change everything.

Yeah, when I was in high school I had a nova, a buddy had a fox body and another a third generation camaro and we always did the street racing thing against all the rice burners.. it was real then too.. that show is bs.. they say they go in and get out and Yada Yada ya.. but all them light towers and EMT'S readily available.. not buying it.. lol

HEY NOW !!:oldnono: Our little sweetheart Biker Babe :drool: is an Okie, Or okey, or whatever ya call the folks from there !:oldconfused: :whoop:
Thanks for looking out, chubs...you better believe I'm a proud Okie! Born and Bred. Of course, I live in Tulsa which kicks the pants off OKC! :D

Here's just the little bit that I know:

Margarita Island has a Bike Night on Fridays

Bricktown has a Bike Night that is monthly...I believe on Wednesdays

I'm sure Hooters and Twin Peaks probably do and probably on Thursdays

Jeff Williams has a bike swamp meet there. It use to alternate monthly between Tulsa and OKC and now I think they hit Kansas too so not sure how often it's there but he does have a nice little bike show in February that I use to set up at.

Thunder Run is a bike event usually the first part of April. It use to be put on by the BDM dealer there but since the dealership closed, the event lives on.

My friends at Papa's Leather rock if you need any gear. They have 2 locations.

Good luck with your move and I hope you are happy there.

Aint nobody talking about some 14sec cars hustling to even make it a 1/4mile haha just kidding. It was rather amusing. The truck now known as farm truck used to be known as the papa johns truck. He had one of the delivery cab toppers on top of out street racing quite often. Still looked like a worn out crusty c20 pickup. Want to say it ran high 10s back then even. No telling what hes up to these days. I got away from the car scene and decided a bike fit better in the garage. I can string it into individual peices and still have room for the wife to park too.
