	WHEREAS, Thousands of motorcycles and motorcycle enthusiasts

trading, and a chance to eat great food and meet old and new 
friends; and
	WHEREAS, This year's event, sponsored by Barnett 
Harley-Davidson and Rods & Wheels Bar & Grill, will begin May 2 and

Animal Society and increasing motorcycle awareness and providing 
entertainment for El Pasoans; and

found in all Texans is especially exemplified in our motorcycle 
enthusiasts, and it gives the members of this chamber great 
pleasure to salute them and the city of El Paso for keeping this 
spirit alive; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 78th Texas 
Legislature hereby commend Barnett Harley-Davidson, Rods & Wheels 
Bar & Grill, and motorcycle enthusiasts for their dedication to the 
El Paso community and for ensuring that the spirit of Texas lives 
on.
