I'm sick to death of motorcycle rallys. I have enough t-shirts and the yuppies on new bikes are dangerous.
I prefer smaller, private gatherings of 50 or fewer. Rec.motorcycles.harley, a Usenet newsgroup, has splinter groups of people who ride, meet, camp, lie, eat & drink, camp and ride home on a regular basis. When we had an event with 250 people one year, we discontinued the event. It's fun, safer and if you want a t-shirt, you can design and make your own.
It looks like the scooter people in my area do the same thing.
No more Sturgis or Daytona for me. Boring.
Agreed. Beyond boring!
As the saying goes...
It used to be about Motorcycles, Now it's a Freakin' Fashion Show!!
Ride safe.
