Well, the 8th Annual Spring Thaw has come to a close, and if you missed it you missed one of the biggest years yet. We at Both Barrels want to say thanks to everyone for coming out and making the show a success; sponsors, folks that showed their bikes, vendors, and all that attended, we appreciate your support. Hard to believe it'll be 9 years next go round! The weather was great, the man upstairs smiled on us again. Don't miss next year's show!
