Eric, what did you not like about the rally?
Too spread out... Each dealer had a pretty good party. Well, Hals and HOH did. I get the idea, hit each dealer for your poker cards, spend some time and shop, support. Vendors were ok... Unless you were going to hang at one dealer all day, it was too much moving around. We got to State Fair around 9:45 on Sat to pick up the rally packs, not much going on. Was signed up for the Sat ride but once we started getting good cards and thought we had a chance to win something we decided to blow off the HD ride and hit all dealers. That took until 5pm. Made it back down to Water st to turn in the cards and from 5-6 it was pretty empty. Headed back to the hotel and came back down at 7pm, still kind of sparse crowd. Gallagher was ok, would rather have seen a "known" band. Sun we checked out the bike show and the Evil exhb. but there was not much going on except that. Was not going to go back to the dealers, as there was nothing worth seeing again. Decided to go on a ride as for us, the rally was really over.Wi has some great roads/rides, If I came back next year, I would do a one day visit. I think I would rather use Milwaukee as a home base to ride your great roads if I was going to spend the night.
