The 37th Annual South Central BMW Owners Reunion was held October 19 - 21, 2007 at the Vernon L. Richards Riverbend Park in scenic Smithville, Texas. This year's "gathering of friends and neighbors" marked a "back-to-basics" approach to the rally. Floyd Crow led a crew that cooked one bratwurst per rider for Friday night's dinner, and the inimitable Beverly Ruffin rounded up a posse that cooked spaghetti for Saturday's dinner. Major supporters for the rally included Wild West Honda, who underwrote the cost of the dinners, and Lone Star BMW/Triumph, who underwrote the entertainment - the Hi Bice Band! Additional support was provided by Gulf Coast Motorcycles, BMW of Ft. Worth, Perry's Motorcycles, 4DStar Motorsports, Aerostich Rider WearHouse, and Silver Eagle Outfitters.

BMWs for the most part had been all black or white, maybe with a contrasting pin-stripe, until the smoke paint job appeared, considered radical at the time. The process was reportedly quite expensive and the style was only available two or three years.
