One guy told me the best time to go was the last 2 days after that everyone splits and then you can go and see the sites without 2,000 bikes

I stay away from the larger runs: Sturgis, Laconia, Daytona, Laughlin, etc. I don't like having to stand in line for everything: to park the scoot, to buy a shirt, to get something to eat or even to use a port-a-potty.

My personal favorite is the Redwood Run in Northern California. It's put on by the local Kiwanis club, which is made of mostly business owners. They welcome us with open arms and absolutely love the money we bikers bring in for that weekend. Since they hold the event on private property, among the beautiful Sequoia/Redwood trees, the cops cannot harass us. It's great. If any of you have the opportunity, try it. I know of no one who comes away disappointed.

If you would like a smaller bike gathering... try Leesburg FL in April. It's a smaller fun gathering. Not too big yet not too small. I'm not one for big crowds myself.

PS - unless anything has changed in the past 365 days, your AT&T phone is in paperweight mode. A pretty fancy alarm clock is all it'll do for ya.
