do not go over speed limit there!! not 5mph even got a ticket the last three years there, cops EVERYWHERE! zero tolerence for anything, no common sense at all any more, no venders anymore, bands are getting worse, I have gone every year for the past 17 yrs, not going any more, they've killed it (along with the economy thing), I'll go ride somewhere else this year

Blame it on the clubs. The cop presence is out of hand and they have no tolerance for bikers

ya know, you can't blame it on the clubs, for the most part they aren't even there, and if they are, they are very low profile. (they don't come cuz they don't want the hassle!) its just the cops being way over the top. the gun fight was a long time ago, man, let it go!!
