Today was the 27th annual Oyster Run in Anacortes Washington. On the 4th Sunday in September about 15,000 motorcyclists converge on this town of around 12,000 good folks. Pretty much everyone’s polite and well behaved. Everybody gets along. And local businesses make a bunch of money. Here are some pictures of Bikes, Bikers, Biker Babes, Bike Art and Helmet Art.

4 out of 5 riders at the event are men and all the riders constitute an eclectic crowd. Image is important to them and most try for a specific typecast image: Old Rogue; Bad Boy; Rocket Jockey; Hooter Hottie; and so on. Many of the bikes are custom, or highly customized. Many of the bikes and helmets are custom painted. There is a lot of facial hair and tattoos. And of course there are exceptions.

While I was wandering around, I noticed a model and a photographer doing a professional photo shoot. The model attracted a lot of attention and pretty soon there was a gallery of around 50 guys with cameras all shooting pictures as fast as they could. What a hoot.
