Go, have a good time and report back. Like you said, it's the destination. It don't really matter if you're a fan of not, it's somewhere to go.

I have been there before. Didn't seem like to much
else was around it. But I didn't look to hard either.

IDK why people don't like OCC so much. I can
understand not liking the show. But they build
some pretty sweet bikes. IMO

You didn't get the memo?

It's *cool* to hate on this site! Actually, mandatory at times.

I'd go. I'm goin on the forth from PA. I'm not a fan of any of that style bike. No matter the manufacturer. Big dog. Borget occ. They're trailer bikes. Everyone we know with one has a Harley for real riding and is no a comfort issue. They fall apart or run out of gas. 120" motor and 2 gallons of gas. Lol. But like you said. It's the destination.
