The bikes and bikers roared into town on Thursday and Friday to take part in the 2nd Annual Graff Chevrolet Bike Bash in Vet's Memorial Park on Bay City's West Side.
The weather did little to hamper the food, fun, entertainment and festive atmosphere of the 4-day event.
Local bike-related businesses as well as food and clothing vendors were on hand all weekend as bikers shopped, ate and partied in Vet's Park.
Stephen Coppler, president of AdoreAble Promotions Inc. and event chairperson said Sunday night that the event was a success for the second year in a row. "I'm already looking forward to 2007," Coppler said.
Close to 40,000 Bikes Showed up for the 2ND Annual Graff Bike Bash.
