It looks like my friends are dropping out. Anyone riding up from the Omaha area? Still might go solo if not.

Very busy night at the museum. Pretty low key but fun.

Me and MilwaukeeBuddy park among many hundreds of bikes. His is the sweet Heritage. Mine is the black Ultra that immediately went into invisibility mode among all the beautiful rides there. We're parked on a side street. The main street was jammed with many more bikes.

Overall a nice rally. The Milwaukee rally is a dealer rally in that the local dealers have the shin dig at their locations. That can be a little lame but I thought it was ok. Some decent deals to be had on sale items and always good to see that many bikes in one area. The weather was great and it seemed like folks were having a good time everywhere we went. Unfortunately saw a rider down up the street from Milwaukee Harley. Not sure what happened. Hopefully nothing too serious.

It was a great time. The trick is to know where to be an when. It was be best Milwaukee Rally in several years. I think and visitors to the city enjoyed it.

My girl and I had lots of fun! Pretty cool to see "110" burned into the pavement outside the museum on Thursday night when they started the countdown clock to the 110th.
