Was most of your fun outside of town? Next time would you go during the event or a different week?

Having now seen the show on Main Street and at the Full Throttle Saloon I think if I ever go back it will be when the rally is not going on. That way I can ride the roads and see the sites without having to fight a few thousand other bikes for the available space.

Try the week before the rally not as many people, but still vendors and stuff going on.

That is right. We arrived on the Thursday before the rally started and it was not crowded until Monday.

Tom,
That must've been Awesome! How many days was your trip totally? (from start to finish)? And did you put up any big numbers in a single day? Glad you're home safe. -Steevo-

Hey Tom

It was a good time. I think the ride home was easier than the ride up! I am glad we went up the thurs before the rally. Gave time to relax and learn the roads before it was really crowded. Beats Daytona hands down. I believe I've learned more reasons to go back since I've been home. So I'll be going back, maybe 2015.. Well worth te ride!!
