WHEELS AND WAVES 2015

WHEELS AND WAVES 2015

Wheels and Waves 2015 was a water-logged edition, but that didn't stop the town of Biarritz and its surroundings from being taken over by engines making a hellish noise. Open and loud exhausts are what's most common at the event. After an unexpected downpour on Thursday, the weather gave a small reprieve the following day, Friday, with hardly any rain until mid-afternoon. This was a great help in being able to enjoy the "Punk's Peak Race," the race held every year in the mountains of Hodarribia. One-on-one, over about 400 meters with a double bend. Again, for the second year, the race was crowned by "LuckyCatGarage's" nitrous-oxide "cucumber." Although some Swiss had created a Moto Guzzi specially prepared to beat "LuckyCatGarage's" BMW, unfortunately in this 2015 edition of Wheels and Waves they did not have the luck of "the arrowed cucumber" seeing its rear wheel. Our "Hot Burrito" at the top of Hodarribia decided to start eating fuses one after another and wouldn't start again, but thanks to the support of El Solitario Mc and his henchmen, and also Honor Motorcycles, we managed to cross the border and reach base camp. The camaraderie and good vibes during the event were very notable, both from the participants and the local people, who were willing to lend a hand at all times. The Asian cavalry was the guest star of this Wheels and Waves 2015, bringing Shinya Kimura and the customizers of some of the BMW Nine T models created in Japan, such as; Bratstyle, Cherry's Company, Hide Motorcycle… Ducati, with its current launch of the new Scrambler, also had some custom builds on display, such as those by the French Krugger. An edition, like every year, surpassing the previous one. Although we missed the old location, at the lighthouse. But it is understandable that for logistical and overcrowding reasons it has been moved to the "cité del ocean".
