Default Americade

We returned from Americade yesterday after a full week
If anyone wants great riding, the Anderondacs are amazing. Drove back through Lake Placid also.
My 05 ran like a top with my wife, all bags packed and a bag on top of the tour pack. .
Great people, great food and awesome runs mapped out. Riding through Vermont was like stepping back in "farm" time.
Definitely going again next year.

I came back from a family function in Albanyon Sunday and I couldn't believe how many bikes I saw on the road coming home from Americade. I was a bit jealous being in the truck.

Huh? Who would pay to see a vendor so you can pay for their product? never heard that one before and can't see paying an entrance fee to buy something.

I did see a lot of Wings on the road though.

I just returned from 3 days at Americade. To me the adirondecks and vermont offer the best riding in the new england area (greenery, hills, twisities, streams, mom & pop shops and eatery's, no traffic).

Yes, they charge $10 a day per person to enter the vendor areas. Package deals are available, but it's still costly.

Lots of wings and trikes. Low key compared to other big rally's.
