Focus: The Smokeout XI

The Horse magazine's annual Smokeout is eagerly anticipated by faithful chopper fanatics all over the country. Like drunken moths to a rusty flame, riders from all points on the compass head south to hook up with old friends, check out hand-built motorcycles and get loaded.

This year BFJosh was in North Carolina to help the Lowbrow crew. When he wasn't slinging merch in the pouring rain, he snapped a pile of photos. An event this big is nearly impossible to cover with one shooter, but Josh's photos give a good sense of what the Smokeout was like when it wasn't raining baby heads.

it was great seeing old friends and making new ones. Good times even in the 40mph winds. Anyone that was under the lowbrow tent when it departed i would like to offer my sincerest gratitude. It was refreshing to see people help with no intention of gaining anything but to help someone.

Great photos, always a great source of inspiration.We have nothing like this down here in Oz . . too many restrictions on mods. Maybe one day I'll get there in the flesh. Cheers.

If you didnt make it your a pussy. I was in a wheel chair, a week out of surgry and i still made it. I broke a front wheel cuz of shity trails and my 230lbs ass! But thanks to Mike and Pat and the entire Led Sled crew, who just so happened to have an extra wheel chair?! They saved me and my wife from the rain and drowned us in JD and shine. I had a great fucking time with the help of Led Sled. They are good people. And have reminded me that people like that still exist in this rat race.

Looks like a good time but unfortunately I live too damn far away. Thanks for the killer pics. Alot of good looking bikes out there. And the dude that had the tattoo on his stomach with "Welcome Aboard" simply awesome.
