SUNDAY, 2-13-2011, WAS THE THIRD AND FINAL DAY OF THE "WORLD OF WHEELS", DOWNTOWN AT THE MPEC ( MULTI PURPOSE EVENT CENTER).

SCROLL DOWN AND JOIN US AT THIS EVENT AND

FIRST PERSON I SAW WAS ARTIE WOODS, THE OWNER OF MCGRUFF THE CRIME DOG
NOW, SOMETHING I HAVE TO TELL YOU UP FRONT, IS THAT I KNOW ZIP ABOUT CARS AND I USUALLY AVOID CAR SHOWS LIKE A PLAQUE. SO, SEVERAL PICTURES WILL HAVE NO TEXT UNDER THE PICTURE UNLESS YOU WANT ME TO PUT SOMETHING LIKE: ABOVE IS A CUSTOMIZED TRUCK.
JEFF & JULIE COLEY ACQUIRED THIS CAR AND MADE IT INTO A TRIBUTE WICHITA FALLS POLICE CAR. THIS IS THE SAME CAR AND NUMBERS THAT TWO WICHITA FALLS POLICE OFFICERS WERE SITTING IN (BACK IN 1968) WHEN A WALL OF A BURNED OUT BUILDING COLLAPSED ONTO THE CAR, KILLING THE TWO OFFICERS.
A LOT OF GREAT LOOKING CARS HERE..

THIS FORD BRONCO BELONGS TO THE MOONLIGHT LIMO SERVICE HERE IN WICHITA FALLS TEXAS
THIS IS THE MCGRUFF MOBILE. MCGRUFF IS THE CRIME FIGHTING DOG WHO MADE THE SAYING "TAKE A BITE OUT OF CRIME" QUITE POPULAR AROUND THE UNITED STATES AND ESPECIALLY HERE IN THE NORTH TEXAS-SOUTHERN OKLAHOMA AREA

ANOTHER GOOD LOOKING CORVETTE
HERE IS THE EMBLEM ON THIS 396 CHEVELLE.

ANOTHER BIKE ON DISPLAY IN THE MOTORCYCLE ROOM

did you ever heard anybody talking about motorcycle training wheels? well, ya have now because the bike pictured above, with all the stuff critters on, are those "training wheels". you buy them in a kit and put them on. I onlt know of one lady here in our area that rides a training wheel trike..
ALL THE SPONSORS FOR THE "WORLD OF WHEELS" ARE LISTED ON THOSE SIX SIGNS. I THOUGHT IT WAS PRETTY IMPRESSIVE TO HAVE THAT MANY SPONSORS FOR AN EVENT!
IN THE RED RIVER HARLEY DAVIDSON ROOM, THEY HAD SEVERAL BIKES. THIS HERE IS A 1200 CC SPORTSTER. THAT WOULD BE A GREAT BIKE TO HAVE TO RIDE THE LOCAL AREA OR SOME RIDES, EVENTS AND RIDES
ANOTHER HARLEY IN THE ROOM. EVEN IF YOU DON'T CARE FOR YELLOW, THIS IS A GOOD COLOR BECAUSE ON TRIPS I MAKE FROM STATE TO STATE, IF THERE IS A YELLOW BIKE APPROACHING ME, I CAN SEE IT A LOT QUICKER THAN THE OTHER BIKES. SOMETHING ABOUT BEING YELLOW MAKES IT STAND OUT IN A CROWD OF BIKERS ON A RIDE AND IN HEAVY TRAFFIC.
LOOKING AT THE BACK OF THE HARLEY ROOM (OK.OK..IT MAY BE THE FRONT OF THE HARLEY ROOM DEPENDING ON WHICH DOOR YOU ENTERED FROM)
A GOOD LOOKING 2010 HARLEY DAVIDSON ULTRA CLASSIC

ANOTHER LOOK AT THE HARLY PARKED OUSIDE BY THE CURB. IT WAS ONE GOOD LOOKING HARLEY. AND THIS WILL END THIS POST.

BE SURE TO CLICK THE " OLDER POSTS" LOCATED AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE OR UNDER THE FINAL POST ON THAT PAGE FOR MORE RIDES, RUNS, AND EVENTS.
