There seems to be two schools of thought about decorating panniers - this one represents the "keep 'em clean!" camp.

And then there is this one - the "Pannier as a blank canvas" camp. I'm in that one - I enjoy checking out the bag art on other bikes when I'm traveling.

I wanted to get a count of the various makes of bikes at the event, but never seemed to find time to do so. Just guessing, I'd say that it was a toss-up between Beemers and Stroms as to which was best represented at the event.

The all-important beer truck! Bikes, beer, and good company - doesn't get much better than that.

This was one of my favorite bikes at the rendezvous - I really like the WeeStroms. This guy had all of the goodies on his. I really like the lighting setup. Suzuki has nailed the adventure bike genre, making a bombproof bike that handles like a sport bike, rides like a cruiser, and is as dependable as a tank.

Neil samples the fare - that was some excellent brew!

Versys Corner - Neil has the red one, mine is the blue one, and Jonathon's is the camouflaged bike on the right. Look closely, there really is a bike under there somewhere.
