Last weekend, the third edition of Wheels & Waves took place in Biarritz.
A beautiful bourgeois town on the French coast, which that weekend was taken over by a chaotic gathering of engines of all kinds, most with scant mufflers on their exhausts. The town was happy, ironically speaking, of course.
Thursday began with the festival's presentation in a kind of old factory, where many of the motorcycles created to date were exhibited, along with graphic and photographic works by different artists. We also can't forget Luc Rolland's extravagant surfing pieces, which were also on display.
The following day, a one-on-one race was organized in the mountains of Hondarribia. It was a pleasure to see those "coffee grinders" pushed "to the limit" ... some even with nitrous oxide tanks, true rockets, not only because of their speed, but also their shape.
On Saturday, a 250km route through the Pyrenean mountains took place, offering truly unforgettable landscapes and curves. Upon arrival in Biarritz, at the "lighthouse," the "meeting point," awards were given to the 4 best-modified motorcycles, followed by farewells and thanks from the organizers, the "Southsiders." The event concluded with a Rock 'n' Roll concert by Brian Bent.
People from all over Europe gathered there for those four days—some very authentic, others less so—but overall, it was a great vibe, except for the occasional jerk that you always find everywhere.
Overall, a highly recommended Festival !!!!!
