Come and see the show
It is quite a show to look at the motorcycle clubs arrive in Antigua. Many people gather around them to see their bikes and their motorcycle suits and helmets. Children and adults alike can not resist to approach the riders and their bikes to ask questions or just to admire the artworks. I am sure Chris will feel right at home here.

[...] The Parque Central is Antigua’s best place for gathering and meetings. It is always so full of life and boiling with stories. Many people from so different nationalities, ethnic background, languages, ages, religions meet or collide there. Sometimes, it might seem impossible to clear up the park, but there is nothing like a heavy down pour to do the job.
