ReconRat Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 I haven't been on this one lately. I'm lazy. It's coming up on Aug 24. Expect 300 to 500 bikes, small percentage not Harley, but usually reasonable. Fully escorted, and non stop. Except for the mandatory beer stops. https://www.facebook.com/events/522294194486853/http://www.odmp.org/officer/15754-police-officer-terry-mcdowell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutch Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 I believe the year I went I had to give you a push start. Seems like I always get stuck pushing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was much quicker than if I had done that. Again. After having failed the first bump start. Did it again a few years ago, left the key on in a doctor's parking lot. Pushed up the driveway, down the street, into another parking lot with a long downhill. Got on and waited for road speed to build up, turned key back on and bumped in 2nd.

I went the following year, as well. I don't think I'll be making it this year. It's looking like this year the only action the bike is going to see is the 4.25 mile commute to and from work.

I think they will stop more than just one place in 4 hours. Often around and down through the outskirts of Lancaster and then East on some back roads before returning.
