Default 2014 Milwaukee rally

Am thinking about heading up to that MKE for that weekend. Can't make it to Sturgis this year but am hoping next year. Anyone ever go to the rally in Milwaukee on an off year and how was it? What types of bands do they have? Decent crowds? I figure it would be a good excuse to take in the museum again.

Thanks for any info from anyone who has been to the rally on the off years.

In my backyard so its a no brainer. That being said I'd still make a trip to go to it, always something going on at the Museum.

It's a dealership rally. Not to say it's bad, but not sure if I would travel for it. Basically 4 dealers have tents and trailers selling sh*t. Music. Beer. Bike night at the museum. Hmmmmm.....maybe not bad after all.

Its nothing like anniversary rallies, but its a good time. The dealers have stuff going on , tons of organized rides, all kinds of fun all over the city. Even if it isn't a milestone year anniversary, Milwaukee will always throw a Harley rally that's a great time. Definitely come check it out.
