We celebrated the 4th on the 2nd at Double D’s

My son is attending UTI in Houston, Texas. He decided to fly home for the 4th of July to celebrate with the family. I really do believe it was coincidence he needed two pair of shoes while he was here. Actually, I got off cheap at only two pair of shoes but that’s not what I’m here to write about. While living in Texas he has developed a love for the Harley CHOPPER. Ahhhh he is out of the crotch rocket phase and into a Harley.
Sunday we headed out 2up, north on I-75 to take in the sights. I’m not sure if he knew what he was getting into when we left but I do believe he will tell you the trip was worth it.
Full Throttle Magazine held their Annual Independence Day Bike Show and Party Sunday at Double D’s in McDonough. This was my first trip to Double D’s as well as my first Full Throttle event. We arrived just in time to squeeze into a spot on the paved parking lot. There were hundreds of bikes and you could feel the excitement in the air. Walking around the parking lot was a bike show of its own. We finally made it up to the vendors and show area. The bikes were awesome. We strode into DD’s for some shade, a brew, and a burger. Due to the crowd we figured it would take a while to get our food and it did; but the wait was worth it. Not the food, the entertainment. We were sitting behind some lovely ladies ---- well some comical women ----- oh what the heck, they were hard core biker chicks and they were having a p a r t y. As the vultures – errr men circled their table the show commenced. After eating it was hard to leave the entertainment but we could tell a bunch of bikes had arrived while we were munching and enjoying the show. So we went back outside to look at the new arrivals.
Holy cow the crowed had doubled!! The variety of bikes was a sight to behold. If you want all the details pick up next months Full Throttle. It was their event so surely they will have all the details. Well, all the details about what went on outside DD’s. We walked around taking in the sights. Finally we decided it was time to head back south. Finding the bike was our first task and getting it out~~~ well it took ten minutes to get out of the parking space. Then we had to maneuver out of the parking lot. This place was packed and the joint was hoppin’. We had a great time. In fact when we got home I pulled out my new copy of Full Throttle to see when and where the next Full Throttle event was. If you haven’t been Full Throttle ~~~~ YOU’VE MISSED OUT!
