Weather is absolutely perfect! Great turnout for Thunder Beach!

I live in Panama City just off 23rd Street. Love hearing the constant thunder of the Harleys rolling!

Had a great time, and managed to mostly stay out of trouble this year. Wish I could have stayed longer.

Maybe it's just me, but I swear I observed a disproportionate number of '14 touring bikes this year. H-D must be selling them as fast as they can make them.

I'm seeing a lot of 14's around locally to, 14 maybe going be a banter year for Harley.

I didn't make it this time. The wife just had knee surgery and can't get on the bike...I knew not to even ask to go without her..LOL.

How was the attendance? I thought it would be down some because of the weather.

It was blowed out Friday and Saturday night. More and more people are coming every year. I have a buddy that works at HD in Panama City. He said the parts department alone grossed 50k during the rally.
