To be honest, I don't care either way if I end up in the parade or not. If so, at least I will be on my M8 Fat Bob - so no overheating like on my old Dyna!
Little update on this.....the Rolling Stones are now announced to play Prague on July 4th. And I have a ticket.....should be good although there will probably be plenty of wrinkly old men in leather in Prague without Mick & co.

Spoken like someone who doesn't understand the role of tourism in the local economy. Tourism is the main income source for businesses in downtown Lake Geneva. "FIBS" are major contributors to tourism-based revenue generation. Local people don't shop in the downtown area because of the parking meters, crowds and prices.
