So my girlfriend and I just got home today after spending a almost a week of debauchery in Vegas at the Viva Las Vegas 13 Rockabilly weekend. On Saturday they had the car show and i just had to share some of the cool pics i took.

First up are the bikes i caught floating around the show.

They were giving this bike away in a raffle... I didn't win.

I had to hang out with our friends from Nirve bikes

The bands were all awesome with far too many to list but here a couple of my favorites...

My girlfriend posing with The Chop Tops, one of the greatest Rockabilly bands ever.

The evening peaked when the immortal Chuck Berry took the stage.

And it was attended by 10,000 of our closest friends! :shock:

It was a wild ride that I'll never forget, and I send my thanks out to the great Tiki Tiki for helping me make it home alive... Whew!

boy, last year was fun, but that looks even more awesome, we were planning to go this year, but a friend of mine that came with us last year was diagnosed with cancer - but next year for sure!
 
Nice! Thanks for posting those.

Looks like it's grown a bit since I was there last.

Always a great spring weekend.
 
I'm glad everybody likes the pictures. I sure had a good time taking them. :D Everyone should try to make it there next year, I know I will. Plus it would be great to meet some of you west coast guys in person! :D :D

i live in Chester VA right on I 295 exit 15B. I am in restoring old Schwinns, Just got one Rat Bike.
Do you run into a lot of Schwinn parts? I need a 3 speed wheel for a Midleweight.

Hi Mitch. I do occasionally run across 3spd wheels but mostly the lightweight ones. I don't have any now but I'll let you know if one pops up. The only Schwinn stuff i have is a unrestored 1959 Panther II which someone could possibly coax me into selling. PM me if you want.
 
Thanks for posting the pics. I went once, about 5 years ago, and had a blast.
The Whiz-ish looking bike appears to be a Simplex.
