Larry Hagman attended Rip's B.A.D. (Bikers Against Diabetes) Ride IV at Oak Canyon Park, a fundraising event for the American Diabetes Association. Bikers ride in from multiple start points in the area, finding food, contests and live music once at the park.
For the first time, there was a car show at Rip's. Custom cars and motorcycles were everywhere! This year's music was provided by Lee Rocker of the Stray Cats and Credence Relived, a Creedence Clearwater Revival tribute band. In between music sets, announcements and presentations were made. The highlight for us came when Larry Hagman was introduced and spoke for a few minutes. He was dressed in jeans and a Rip's B.A.D. Ride XIII jacket, topped off with a Dallas cap from the new TNT series!
