After going many times many years I have found that a week early,
or a week late is the same, and the thing to do.
Same drunk people, same sites, same roads, same beautiful ride!
BUT the hotel rates go back to near normal.
800 a week, (and way more) is a LOT of cash!
Next-
It is not quite a crowded. Almost.
If you go at the appointed time there is a line and crowd for everything.
The only way to do a ride is get up EARLY!
or the 25 MPH white knuckle club will be there going sooooo slow everywhere.
They trailered their POS in to be seen.
Now they plug up every road.
I miss the good old days when people were scorned for trailering.......
