The Veterans Park festivities got quite expensive this time around. Thankfully, this is only one of a plethora of activities available to visiting Hooligans.

I highly recommend the Rustic Roads Motorcycle Tour Award Program promoted by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation. Ride & document 10 and receive a commemorative patch, 25 and receive a certificate.

Kind Sir, please spread the word . . .

Careful with Harleys, guys.

I gave the Multistrada V4 Rally serious consideration before ultimately purchasing the Pan America Special. Cost, dismal dealership network and the quirky designs steered me away.

Still, I wonder what the Italian fuss is all about.

BTW, I don’t get what drives the whole Brembo brake love affair. Color me Not Impressed . . .

[Seruzawa]

Brembo used to be a step up from stock brakes in general. Not so much any more. I’ll put the Tokicos on my Kwacker against anyone’s.

Woo-hoo! Elton John is ready for another big finale!!!

Remembering Elton John's surprise Milwaukee concert — where thousands booed and walked out

The louder the pipes, the smaller the wiener

[BraveMan]

My wife made me stay for the entire set!

My fondest memories were of Kid Rock dancing on top of the Yamaha piano with his mud covered work boots, with Elton John stretching away as far as he could and still play. Kid Rock trashed that piano.

The banner on the viaduct over I-94 westbound saying "Sorry about Elton" was pretty special . . .

[Ronaldus Magnus]

I hope they all learned their lesson!

[BraveMan]

Don’t get your hopes up. They’re promoting Bud Light at the museum concert venues.

“The louder the pipes, the smaller the wiener”

They remind me of the rice boys with wimpy little economy cars and loud fart pipes. They think noise = performance. Like the goofy huge rear tires and they could not spin on a bet.

HD has been, other than a very few models, an embarrassment of low performance. I owned an early 1000cc Sportster and found out.

[SaveFerris]

I used to want one like Then Came Bronson had

XLCH?

[A Cyrenian]

As far as I'm concerned.

Every HD motorcycle needs a 2x4 thrown through the spokes of the front wheel.

No need for that noise.

[wjcsux]

I owned a 66 XLCH many years ago. Back in those years, they didn’t have a battery. The generator ran the lights and spark was provided by a Fairbanks-Morse magneto. It was a great looking bike that was a lot of fun to ride if you could get it started.
