Vendors, biker games and a bike show are also highlights, along with live music all weekend. Never been to a Rumble? Taber said to expect the unexpected and be prepared to have some serious fun.
“We have unique events such as our pro bull riding, poker run and tattoo contest – no other place but Bandera offers this,” he said. “There are beautiful roads to ride. And nightlife? We have that as well.”
