Has anyone been to this? I have been to the All Truck Nationals there a few times and liked it. I am wondering if it is the same type of show or something different?
It's a good event. It's your typical bike event with vendors, food, and shows. It's huge and a good amount of walking. And if it's like last year it will be hot as Hell.
Traffic in the area is a bit of a mess too. Google it.... I think you'll find plenty of info on it.
Actually have been to both the truck and bike events at Carlisle. They are similar but hte truck is bigger. My wife and I attend the Bike Fest every year (We also have family in the area) We usually see everything in one full day. There are a good mix of vendors and the layout is pretty nice. They also have several bike demo fleets including the Harley Demo fleet at the local HD dealer. We also like the fact they have a swap meet. You never know what you will see.
The riding in the area is not bad and there are lots of other things to do.
