If you have never been it is a bucket list kinda place...I have been almost every year since 1975 and it has not really changed much other than bike improvements...It is a freak show!!!!! Funny thing is people look in the mirror before the leave their home and say, " dam I look good " and when you see them you just say WOW!!! Got my back tire replaced on my Ultra, will get it shined up ...the ride to the Keys does sound interesting....
