Bike Week?

I'm packing right now and hope to begin my Bike Week and Half tonight. This will be my 25th consecutive and is just as exciting as the first. It is certainly different now than when it was a weekend and I was a kid. When everybody rolled in on Friday it was quite the thing. As soon as we got on a major roadway you started to see bikes. When we crossed the border and immediately took off our helmets we were seeing a lot of bikes and classic cars. At exit 20 it was stop and go with the streets lined with people watching the cazy parade. A 1/2 barrel purchased every year from Case and Keg would be floating by mid-day on Sat. and have to be replaced.

Now I don't go near the Weirs unless I have to and even then we take a boat. Since I still have t-shirts that say Motorcycle Weekend on them I don't really need to got there. The riding has certainly increased and I expect to put about 1500 miles on next week.

Most important is the tradition. I am going to see good friends, some of whom this is the only time during the year we see each other.

I can't wait.
