And I just thought it was the longest day of the year. Who knew that the summer solstice is also World Motorcycle Day?

Baggers, customs and everything in between called it a night to remember at the Harley-Davidson Museum’s Bike Night and Drag Racing exhibition opening in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Who wants a t-shirt? Everybody wants to sell you something at any motorcycle rally and the gathering at Laconia this week is no exception. From Dumb Trump/Crooked Hillary tees to Sons of Arthritis bowling shirts – we got you covered.

Don’t get me wrong but I always try and do the biker wave – really I swear. But occasionally I forget or blow it…

Everywhere you look along Lakeside Avenue in Weirs Beach you can’t help but find something cool to stare at during Laconia Bike Week.

The first day and night of the 93rd official Laconia Bike Week was a bit of a washout with rain reports keeping a lot of bikers away. Day two was a little better but chillier with temperature highs in the low 60s and day three was even better with more bikers rolling in than the previous days combined.

I rolled out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin late in the day on the road to Laconia, New Hampshire. My ride is a 2016 Harley-Davidson Ultra Low in Purple Fire/Blackberry Smoke with only six miles on the clock. I call her “Purple Rain.”
