Edge Talks SmokeOut DVD with Bandit from Bikernet. Edge is the man behind the Chopper that makes the SmokeOut and the Long Road happen. He talked about the DVD of SmokeOut 10. Take a listen… good biker stuff.
The Smokeout has become one of the premiere motorcycle rallies in the country, and is perhaps one of the best in terms of what bikers look for… Bikes, Music and good times. It is backed by The Horse Backstreet Choppers. In keeping with the dedication to choppers, some of these riders are on rigids and they get plenty of wind because they don’t have windshields. Once you’re at the Smokeout, get ready for a great motorcycle rally.
