Well its that time of year when I begin to plan for my annual trip to Thunderbeach in Panama City Beach, FL. Not sure how many of you guys/gals go but Ive been going for about 10 years now. One thing Ive noticed was after the economy took a hit....so did Thunderbeach participation. The last two years really seem like attendance is low. Im not sure why its remained low. Maybe people are just tired of it. Who knows. But I'll be there again and hope the weather is good. Hope some of my fellow HD forum brothers and sisters can make the trip. Anybody else going??

I'll be down for the whole week combining some beach time with old friend visits and some rally time. Hope to do a ride or two as well.

We're not going this year either. Been the last 3yrs in a row and just not feeling it this year. Kinda burnt out on it I guess. We're gonna spend s week in the Smokies instead.
