Big Wheel Biker Gang 2006 U.S. Tour

After breakfast at the “famous” Shelly Diner (supposedly parts of Million Dollar Baby were shot there), it was time for Midnight to make his Hollywood debut. First stop, Grauman’s Chinese Theater where we met Superman! According to Superman, he is the official Superman of the Jimmy Kimmel show. I believe he said he had been on 48 times. I tell him how I had come from Metropolis. The dirty rat proceeds to one up me. He had just gotten married in Metropolis under the Superman statue. I did my research, just for you, and it’s true (Superman wedding). He tells me I should really have Kimmel riding that thing. If anyone knows how to hook that up, Midnight is ready! After a quick photo op with Superman, Midnight and I stroll down the Walk of Fame. Along the way, Midnight poses for a few photos with his favorite stars’ stars and we talk with a few random strangers. Having had enough of this walking nonsense, it was time to ride! Doubling back past the Chinese Theater, I hop on Midnight. I come around the corner of Orange Street and go flying down the Walk of Fame… Past the theater as people are taking pictures and trying to figure out what’s going on. Four or five blocks later, I decide to stop. There would be a bigger ride in the next few days that I would need all my energy for (There’s your teaser). I take the long walk back to the Chinese Theater and stop to give a promo card to Superman and let him know anytime he wants to ride with the gang to look us up. To my surprise, he offers to ride right there and then. A quick weight check (185 pounds, Tex… You’re getting close to not being able to use that excuse anymore) and Superman is sitting on Midnight. A good push and Superman is riding Midnight down the Walk of Fame, cape flowing behind him. People were taking pictures like crazy. Superman really made the day!
Superman, having brought up Kimmel, gave me the idea to check out the show, since the El Capitan was only a few blocks away. So, I was off to the computer to see if I could still get a ticket. On the way, I was stopped by a tour bus and asked who I was. Johnny Dynamite, of course. Geez! You’d think no one watches the news in California. At this point it was time for Midnight to make his debut in the lobby of the Orchid Suites. I don’t think the lady running the place knew what to do. I explained the tour to her and to a nice lady from Utah that was checking in. I’m sure they’re both big fans of the gang by now!
Anyway, I lucked out and tickets were still available for Kimmel. Guest, Robin Williams and Rod Stewart. How could I pass up Rod?? Being without printer, I write down all of my ticket information and head out to grab a quick dinner before the show…
This has been your update from the Chevron parking lot. Up next: “You looked fatter on tv…” and “I’ve never met anyone from planet Korendor before…”
