There were by unofficial count, some one thousand or more proud participants of the Harley-Davidson lifestyle rumbled into Williams, Arizona, to suckle at the tar teat of the Mother Road.

The town sits smack on a holdout piece of Route 66. Williams was the last town in America to submit to the interstate bypass. It stubbornly fought the highway, relenting only when the feds agreed to provide no less than three exits to the tiny town, population now 3,200. Seems like there’s no better place to hold a biker rally than this rebel outpost.
