I went to bike week

[Cowboyrider]

My first one!! I think i'm more proud of myself dealing with the traffic! It was so hot this morning though - hopefully it isn't the best day of the week. Have to go back to get a shirt!

Its def an interesting people watching event, and some pretty interesting bikes too...didn't see any though.

Man God wants to go back and hit up the Triumph area which is by funspot. I just wish there were a couple more sportbike vendor areas- unless I missed them.

What else is there to do?

[elissama]

I cruised past the outskirts of the weirs today on my way north to the kanc / fun backroads - looked kinda tame this year.

[Cowboyrider]

...didn't see any though.

I assume you mean you didn't see any other than your own or you're not helping the cause any ...

MHMS, motorcycle only rides up Mt. Washington, Hill Climbs at Gunstock, Mechanical Bull at The Broken Spoke and sometimes Ducati, Triump or Buell test rides. Other than that, it's just cheap leather, old skin and traffic.

Wednesday? when are the hill climbs?

[schleppy]

The traffic is what is keeping me from going. That and drunk people riding around en masse.

I have court at 1300 on Thursday and the hack is broke right now. Waiting on parts...

I was thinking about Wed, looks like I'm gonna hit up the weirs with Beth and Dave and then Dave is going to work so I was gonna try to convince Beth to accompany me to Jays for the afternoon.

I went up yesterday for first time since way back when. Left around 9am and only hit a little traffic on 93 n. couple of fender benders none involving bikes. I had not been up to "Louden" since Eddie Lawson was riding a KZ 1000 Superbikeup there. Ya I`m and old schooler for sure. Track was going the other way then with turn one to the left and a hairpin turn to the right for turn two. . Guys used to run into hay the bales there all the time. The 250`s ran better times than the superbikes way back then. Anyway I loved the "new" track and layout especialy the turn one set up. Reminds me of the chicane at the end of the straight at Daytona for some reason. Great racing all day. Ran into trickey Mike doing dog walking duties. Where were all the NESR`s.

Traffic can be a real bitch getting in there, a couple of years ago it was about a 2 mile backup. We ended up coming back at the end of the day, place was empty, and in the shade. Definitely worth checking out though.

Yeh 20 bucks.

[loridin64]

if you want shirts, wait until Sunday to get them. Instead of paying $25-$30 a shirt, they'll be 3 for $10. Everyone just wants eveything gone

I went last year for the first time since '88 or so, couldn't believe the changes. I miss the old track and it's 'camping' area. Spent a lot of time checking out that war zone, loved the obligatory naked Harley riders jumping their bikes over flaming rice rockets. Some of my best memories are of those trips, along with so many hidden photos.
