Bingo that's a huge thing right there. Booze. That is why I keep away from organized chaos things like rides and....bike week. Sadly some of our biker brother and sisters think that is the time to start drinking (amongst other things). Yea right, with 100's or even 1000's of bikes side by side in close proximity. No thank you. I'll take my quiet road rides all by myself or with a friend or two over that anyday.

PS DaveR, I love the name of your boat!!!

Thanks. My wife and kids named it. I'm not a HP fan, but I like the name too.

You never know though. You have to be on the defensive all the time. We had two friends killed when they went up over a hill and a car was coming the other way on their side of the road.
