Bike night. One of Quaker Steak and Lube's finest inventions. Quaker Steak is a nation-wide chain. Every Wednesday during riding season all of their locations put on a bike night. Live music, a vendor display area, a chance for non-profit fund raising and of course food drink and motorcycles. August 20th found all of us along with Bucky Badger himself out at Quaker Steak and Lube in Middleton, on the west side of Madison, along with 500 hundred other bikes.
Very impressive. A seething crush of humanity along with many tons and several million dollars worth of motorcycles. Spectacle is the word I am thinking of. Very pleasant evening. Great music, great weather, tons of great looking bikes, and we raised some money for Special Olympics as well.
Being the father of daughters, one of my favorite things about bike night and about Quaker Steak and Lube is that it is a family friendly place. Lots of kids were out running around the whole time we were there with Bucky and his ride. This was a great night. Some very generous Wisconsin bike enthusiasts made for a very successful Special Olympics fundraiser!
