Naw, last time I went the Shriners had a licensed parade the same weekend.
One group dressed like Danial Boon fired blanks from their muzzle loaders as
they passed the flags. Stupid assed MBPD busted them for discharging guns in
town. Take your money elsewhere.

If you're idea of a good week on a motorcycle is being stuck in heavy
traffic riding up and down a 20 mile strip of constant traffic lights in hot
weather, and then maybe getting drunk at night then you'll really miss MB.
I took my money this year rode south and rode the Smokies. Much more fun,
there were actually curves in the roads.

Guys who go to MB bike week are looking for curves, but not in the
roads :)-

From the pictures I've seen , the funnest part is trying to
find your bike in an endless line of 5,000 other bikes :-) OR for
that matter, trying to find your own self in a crowd of 10,000 other
'rugged individualist biker types' all wearing the identical
uniform ;-)
