I am tossing around the idea of going to the Fall Street Vibrations in Reno this year (if I get time off and such).
I have never been to any rally so I was wondering what to expect, extra plans I should expect, etc.
Thanks all

 

Expect a long super boring ride to Reno....

 

I used to live in Idaho, the ride is great, although I was younger then and would make a stop at the Miracle Mile in Winnemucca. Street Vibes is a blast. I go Spring and Fall (Fall is more fun). Easy to get a motel in Carson. Great rides in the surrounding areas, Carson Pass, Tahoe, and all of the Sierras down the 395. Let me know if you need more info.

 

I rode to Santa Cruz through the same way last year...wasn't as bad as you are making it sound! LOL

 

Any places I should avoid? Any idea if the "VIP" package is worth it? I see it comes with some sort of parking permit, wondering if that will be useful.

 

Most that I know of don't register for the event. However if some of the entertainment or a poker run interests you it may be worth your while.
The Cat House Poker run put on by our local 81 club is fun.
The parking permit allows you to park on Virginia St. No big deal as there is plenty of parking in the garages.
Both dealerships have a lot going on. Carson always has some stunt riders.
Often Jason Pullen.

 

Expect to pay a lot to stay in Reno, expect A LOT of people watching and try to do that cat house run it's a fun experience. I try to make it every year, and yea go to Carson city and watch the stunts

 

I'm in Reno and the event seemed a little less crowded this last year. Carson City seemed to have added more vendors and events, as well as VC. The riding around Tahoe and Reno to VC and then into Carson is nice. Overall I'd say it is a good rally to attend.

 

Thanks all! Any places I should avoid staying in Reno?

 

Do not stay on 4th Street or The hotels around Wells and I-80
