EasyRiders Rodeo 2012 contest after that. We rolled out early the next morning and it’s off to the next meeting of bikes and people who enjoy them. Till then, see ya around. If not, then the second week of July next year right here in Wilson, NC.
By: Whistle Hill I was in line at the fairgrounds in Wilson, NC by 10 am Tuesday, July 10th. Toy hauler, golf cart, and two days to sit in a field with a whole bunch of fellow bikers from all over, and I mean ALL over, the east coast, from New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Minnesota, Kentucky, Tennessee, Florida, Georgia, Virginia, and yes, even West, by God, Virginia. We had a large time even when they threw a $10 per day fee on every one of us to sit in a field waiting for the gates to open. There was a lot of griping about the newly increased prices. On the other hand, what is a 3-day get together with friends you haven’t seen since last year? The answer is PRICELESS. I also got a bartending lesson and you gotta try it. Mix a 1 oz shot of Crown and a 1 oz shot of pickle juice. Talk about a drink with some zing. We need a name for that one! Thursday morning when the gates opened, all 500 - 600 campers battled for their favorite spot. I know for sure there is only one high spot that will not get wet, and me and my crew are on that ground quick. A few hours of setting up and were ready for EasyRiders Rodeo 2012. Thanks to Mother Nature we had plenty of rain, so it was no dust bowl this year. Although the guy who turned his Jon boat into a ride was definitely in business. All we had to do was hose the mud off of the truck that they charged me $25 to take in. Friday was wide open with Heist, Soulicit, and Cowboy providing the music. There were wet t-shirt contests, and people still rolling in from as far away as Arizona. Friday night was polished off with shrimp fresh from Morehead that morning. Thanks to Wesley Brazelton for the grub. The activity died down around 1 am. Saturday started early with the bike show, and sled pulls, keg roll, slow race, bar stool races, and other bike games carried on into the early evening. It was hot and humid and most of the attendees stayed in the shade and tried to stay cool, but the games went on anyway. That evening Soulicit, The Lacs, and Mustang Sally performed. Mustang Sally had to be one of the highlights of the weekend. The band was kicking and I think the whole campground was there to see, and of course there was the wet t-shirt
