It's still in the same place it has been. http://www.harleybay.com/
The area is nice to ride around but the event itself sucks. Hardly any vendors at all and not really much going on. I prefer to ride down there when the event isn't going on so it's a little less traffic. If you do go then make sure you go over to Vertigo Tattoo in Manns Harbor, they always have free beer there and it's a pretty good time. http://www.vertigotattoo.com/events.htm

We'll be heading there this year, not alot of vendors, but the riding is excellent. Actually I think it has gotten better every year. Heres a link... says there will be over 100 vendors this year. I dont go for the vendors anyway, as I said the riding there is fantastic. http://www.usridernews.com/absoluten...d=615&zoneid=1

If you're looking for a millon people all drunk on the ****, and big tittie girls showing their ***** off.... this ain't the one for you.
It's spread out, and most of the events and vendors are around the various dealership.
But the weather is nice, the food is good, and there's some actual riding, going on.

Why go to the event for the riding? Go there when there's less traffic.

Great riding area.
Lots of good food.
Lots of bikes without being crushed by bikes. It's not Myrtle beach by a long shot, but it isn't trying to be either.
