I heard that event is massive?. I'm finally going to break out my F3 from storage. My Michelin slicks are calling for some heat. It's been a long overdue ........

[Glad to see that you haven't left us!]
Bike Week is indeed quite big. Uhmm...500,000 bikers arrive in a city of approximately 100,000...
-The only problem that I have with the whole thing [and I've been attending since 1985] has to do with pretention. If you are not on a Harley, you basically don't exist to 75% of the attendees. Another 10% are openly hostile~
You know something, a few years ago some ******* accused me of pretention for buying a Porsche. I offered to give him the hood emblem- I swear to god I would have pulled the damn thing off and gave it to him!
If there is one thing that I am NOT...then that is it!
But at Bike Week 1994, I pulled off the beach and onto A1A and saw about 5-6 bikes about a quarter mile up the street. I hammered the throttle on my un-restored near perfect and living room-kept '76 CB 750-Four and caught up with some seriously customized Harleys. As I lined up in formation with the small group, the long-hair on the last bike looked at me an over the 40 mph windstream yelled "That bike's a F*cking piece of sh*t!"
-Well EXCUSE-ME for earning $22,000 per year at the time! The right seat of a DeHavilland Dash-8 doesn't pay much....!
Well, I kept my cool as usual. And I decided that I really didn't like Harley's or their owners that much. I still wouldn't own one, despite the fact that the V-Rod's engine was developed by Porsche.
Yet...last year, I did Bike Week via shark. I figured the reception would be lousy; I was badly mistaken- everyone loved the car, and I drove it down Main Street and watched people turn and point. Then on the way back to Orlando on I-95, these two bikers on heavily-customized HD's formed up with me in formation at 90 mph and we cruised for 30 miles.
So...it is a celebration of power and prestige; just make sure you run with the best pack!
N!

Normy, it's good to be here and Thank You. 
Theres a local cat name TJ who owns Eastside Performance (Bike Shop).
He put together this wicked custom Harley. My word man, It had (please forgive me if I'm wrong) something like 200hp at the rear wheel. A turbo Vtwin - I guess it won the superbike HP shootout two years ago.
From what I can Remember, TJ had engineered and built a special Crank, just to handle that much HP. It was orange, chrome, mean and lean.
BTW - If you see TJ - Good Guy but he's quite full of himself.
RV - I wish I were attending but not this time.
BTW2 - A plethora of beautiful barely dressed ladies always venture to this event. Normy, I'm jealous!.
