What I learned????? NEVER agree to mix a trip of bike week with the wife and visiting family in Palm Beach Gardens, Jacksonville, and Palm Bay! My mota sickle activities were 8 or 9 hours tops!

But one thing stood out this year that seemed to make it different from all of the others. We all agree that bike week is about Harley. Always has been and probably always will be. Nothing new here. What stood out was that it seems like at least 6 or 7 bikes out of 10 were Harley baggers. More new model Road Glides than ever as they were easy to spot with the 4 horizontal LED lights. Road and Street Glides were everywhere with a few Road Kings and Heritages mixed in. Bags EVERYWHERE!!!! What happened to the bobbers and Dynas? I did see a few more "snooty Euro" types, but that was about it.

It is clear that the Chopper thing of the 2000s is gone and now it is all about the bagger!

Anybody else notice that?
