Weather permitting, go and ride. Ride as many other bikes as you want. Make plenty of time (take off Friday), and get there early and start signing up for group rides at the Factory Trucks. Harley sometimes does solo ride-outs, but you still have to register and reserve a time.

I can stay all day for two or three days, never spend a dime, and ride 6-8 different motorcycles each day if I want, for 20-30 minutes each. Kawi, Yamaha, Ducati, Harley and Buell have been there in the past with everything from sportbikes to tourers, to cruisers.

I usually go inside and walk the "show" later in the day before they close, maybe even the last day when the vendors are more likely to have stuff more steeply discounted so they don't have to pack it back up and haul it to the next town.

I love my Speedmaster, but It's sporty enough to make me try different things (like the new VMax, and Ducati Hypomotard, Yamaha Raider, VRod Muscle, and anything else you can think of).

At the end of the day, it's sure nice to get on my Speedy and tear it up all the way home.

We have an awefull lot to like and be thankful for.
