Yes, this is a guy. Yes he does have a tattoo on his right upper arm. Yes he is making bead jewelry. Yes, he is at the Harley rally. Several "trick" riders spent the afternoons entertaining observers with exciting feats of .....smoke and stuff.
Plenty of goods on sale to support your "Harley Lifestyle." These boots would no doubt make me look like one bad biker dude, if they had only had a size larger than 8 1/2. 2 points

Leather is possibly more popular here than in the USA.

Where are all the people? I know this was 10:30 AM on Sat, but come on!?
