Bike Night at Westgate

So last Thursday was the third installment of Bike Night at Westgate City Center in Glendale, my son in law and I got there when it was already dark and the place was so packed with motorcycles that the overflow was starting to park in the adjacent parking lots. No I did not count them but there were surely at least 500 bikes there.

For a limited amount of time Bike Night is every Thursday night but if profitable for Westgate it may be there to stay. To date this is the closest we Arizona bikers get to having a place where bikers can meet and park their bike within view. It gives the feeling of Sturgis or Daytona minus a few thousand bikes of course but nevertheless just to peruse some 500 bikes can take a while.

Every restaurant in the venue was packed and bikers are known to be very generous which again leads me to believe that Bike Night at Westgate is here to stay. I really hope so.

All these images were captured by "Junior" my son in law. He is still learning but sometimes his captures prove to be display worthy.


This is Coyotes Blvd. Also known as "Events Plaza".


This is one sweet Heritage Softail.


The gas tank says it all.

I Choose To...

If it wasn't because it is a good exercise in writing and it has helped me improve my writing skills which I had non when I started this I would say it was time to drop the blog. I don't know if bloggin' is getting old with all the new social networks popping up everywhere or if my writing is just totally boring, either way traffic has been very light indeed.

I do however still get satisfaction doing it so I will continue to do it. Most of my regular readers had moved on to other bigger and better things I guess and I have not been out there networking and recruiting new readers.

Anyway, here we are, another week has come and gone, the economy continues to suck, people are still losing their jobs, and the Swine Flu makes an appearance everywhere scaring the heck of a lot of us. And in the midst of all this I realize I still have my health, my family, my friends, my sanity, heck I am still a blessed man. Everything in the news and the Internet tends to sensationalize the bad news, it seems that at times they have nothing positive to say. I choose to try and find the positives without complaining about what I don't have much control of.

I don't know about you but positive thinking will yield positive results, complaining will just make your life that much stressful. So with that note I will think positive and maybe go karaoke tonight with my friends and welcome the weekend with a smile in my face.
