For those of you who have never heard of Badger Flat it is the last truly traditional bike runs held by the Satyrs Motorcycle Club. Badger Flat is held on Labor Day Weekend in Badger Flat Campground which is in the High Sierras.
This has been held here since 1961 making it one of the oldest gay events held annually.
This is an event where the Satyrs Motorcycle Club and other like-minded men come together; where there is nothing but woods to build a working community, and through the work a brotherhood forms and friendships are made. I really had no idea what I was getting into when I first got into Badger Flat. I thought that I would be sucking and fucking a lot of biker cock, drinking till I passed out, and do a lot of different drugs. This can be your adventure into this new world but it can be so much more.
