Bike Night in Bakersfield

Bike Night in Bakersfield, CA occurs on Wednesday nights at Chuy's Mexican Grill on Rosedale Hwy. Sponsored by 98.5 The Fox, a local radio station, the parking lot begins to fill with chrome and steel around 6:30pm.

On our recent visit to Bakersfield, we headed out to enjoy the company of other riders, get a glimpse of some motorcycles, and get our fill of chips and beer, all while grooving to some classic 80's tunes.

My hubs asked for sexy, so I gave it to him!

Even in the heat, the patio filled up fast!

Mike Bell and Kenn McCloud, 98.5 The Fox D.J.'s told me about the weekly Bike Night and invited us back next week.

Even in the hot temps, the patio was completely full of riders

You can see by the looks on our faces that I'm talking smack with my daughter Olivia

My new Bell Custom 500 helmet from Helmet City in flat black. Love this lid!

Dig this paint job, all that chrome and those bad ass rims!

Even 2 hours into the event, bikes continued to arrive

Super clean Harley parked right up front

About 1/3 of the motorcycles in attendance were sport bikes, with the majority being Harleys

Murray and Kim enjoyed a couple of beers and basket of chips, soaking in the vibe. The water misters kept the patio pretty cool, in spite of the warm temps.
