Now I know I won't ever want to do Sturgis!<BR/><BR/>flhx_dave: One person's heaven is anothers hell. It was actually very cool once we were there.<BR/><BR/>Joker: I hear you about the mall; I avoid it like the plague. Who needs to shop all the time anyway? The event wasn't bad while walking around and all the food places in town had nothing but bikers. That was cool. I heard someone say, "This would be great if it weren't for the crotch-rockets." I chuckled to myself. There were groups of them showing off.<BR/><BR/>Irondad: The ride up I-5 was the best part of the day in my opinion. I felt like bikers were in charge....it affected every town within 50 miles of the event. Cars drivers were afraid, very afraid.<BR/><BR/>BikerchickzBeckyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05359539597315766635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8663744941144434388.post-20202927150868925432008-10-02T11:46:00.000-07:002008-10-02T11:46:00.000-07:00I think the coolest part is where you describe heading up I-5 with the freeway full of bikes. Being the majority for once would be a switch!irondadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17821323482397075170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8663744941144434388.post-25813149189498980272008-10-02T07:54:00.000-07:002008-10-02T07:54:00.000-07:00I'm really glad you went, purple hand and all! Creeping in traffic on a bike basically sucks; I think we can all agree on that. Consider your "clutch hand" a badge of honor.<BR/><BR/>At least you can say you went and you checked it out, even if it's really not your sort of scene. What's funny is that you and I are very much alike as far as not liking crowds. I can't tell you the last time I was in a shopping mall. I rarely go, and if I have to, I go on like a Tuesday or something instead of a Saturday to avoid the crowds. After Thanksgiving, I won't get within 5 miles of one.<BR/><BR/>This may sound weird but when it comes to biker events, the crowds don't bother me at all. Sure, the heavy traffic still bites, but for once I don't mind all the people. Maybe it's because I know we all have something in common. Maybe it's because I have a better than average chance of seeing some bare tits. Maybe it's just because I feel like I belong...<BR/><BR/>Whatever the reason, these sort of events have broken me out of my crowd-avoidance shell. After Milwaukee, I'm ready for anything. I think you are too, you just maybe have to reflect more, because it did indeed have something to offer you. In your own words: "I have never seen anything like it and it was an emotional and exhilerating experience."<BR/><BR/>There's a lot of truth in the biker saying, "It's not the destination; It's the journey." One day you will again be in search of an emotional and exhilerating experience on two wheels. Remember, if nothing else, they help keep us young! See you on the road sometime Chickz. Ride Safe."Joker"http://www.blogger.com/profile/00123102968850707085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8663744941144434388.post-15248265558582509412008-10-01T14:57:00.000-07:002008-10-01T14:57:00.000-07:00Looks good to me!
