Just back from a 1500 mi trip, came through Reno yesterday and they are getting ready for "Street Vibrations" big motorcycle meet this coming weekend. Looks like a big time, they are blocking off downtown, setting up portable lights gettin ready to party. Lotsa bikes out there, ride safe.
Big party at the HD dealers too. I stopped at Carson City HD to get the wife a shirt so she could remember my trip They had a stage set up and several vendors in their parking lot, also had 2 lines of new 09's left. Rode the Virgina City loop, nice ride. Had to get home so I missed most of it, I was about the only Harley heading away from Reno.
They expect about 25,000 Harleys for Street Vibrations. This weather is great, low 90's and no wind or rain in sight. There are festivities at Reno HD, Carson City HD, Virginia City, NV and throughout downtown Reno. I was there today and bikes are coming in from all over the West, so come on down. Ride safe.
