JK...... Glad you had a great time and ride!
Concerts on the bike
Concerts on the bike
Springsteen was playing about an hour from home tonight, so I decided to catch the show and take the bike.
Taking the bike to a concert is a great way to go IMO. I rode the shoulder the last few miles and bypassed all of the traffic. Rode over the curb at a handicap ramp and got into the parking lot free, and found a nice place to park right next to the stadium.
Leaving after the concert was also a breeze and I finagled my way around most of the traffic then too. I had the tunes cranked up on the ride home. The turnpike was clear and wide open. I did about a 30 mile stretch without even touching the handlebars once.
Just a great night all around. In Bruce's words. "Baby I was Born to Run!"
Anyone else like taking their bike to concerts?

I used to ride the T-Pike from New York down into Philly all the time.

We have a amphitheater here where you can park your bike down by the stage or choose a campsite to spend the night within the property- just like the 60s and 70s.
Last time I went Steppenwolf, Nazareth, Iron Butterfly, and Randy Bachman was playing.
John Kay had us fire up our bikes and rev them before playing, 'Born to be Wild".
