What A Hoot!

Last night was a fantastic night and a reminder of why we moved to eastern Tennessee! It is Honda Hoot time in Knoxville! I have been riding my Honda Reflex and have enjoyed the company as the roads have been filled with bikes. Not just Hondas, but all brands of bikes.




Last night was The Hoot Bike Show at World's Fair Park. We went down and strolled around looking at bike after bike. They were beautiful!

I am posting a number of pictures to help you get an idea of how many bikes there were. I just wish my friend Bill could have been here for this. I would have even barbequed a couple hot dogs for him.

There were bikes all over downtown Knoxville.

The headquarters for The Hoot is at Chillhowee Park, not to far from where I work. I heard on the local news that last year's event brought in 16,000 people.

The promoters were hoping for 20,000 this year. Haven't heard how close they are to that goal.






It seemed that during last night's event when bikes would leave even more would come in to replace them. The promoters did a great job of organizing this show and keeping things moving when bikes had to leave.

One of the most interesting bikes we saw had to be this one. It is a Honda Reflex, the same model as I own, only this one has some added features.
I don't think these were added by the factory.
Hope took a video of the fireworks at the end of the Bike Show. -Norm
