ACSmith Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 Anyone going to Bike Week in Sandusky? Starts tonight through next weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connie14 Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 I am going to bike week starting tomorrow morning. Week long motorcycle camping trip to the mountains. It ends at the OR Invades Deals Gap shindig. I bet more people on OR will be in Deals Gap than the Sandusky bike week . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollnhot Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 Hmmm, let's see walk around and look at slow ass Baggers and Choppers and smell sweaty pirates. Or ride on some sweet ass twisty mountain roads. Looks like Deals Gap for the win!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACSmith Posted May 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 Would love to ride in the mountains, maybe will have to plan a vacation next year...but I guess I'm considered one of those "Slow Ass Baggers" but guarantee I do not smell like a sweaty pirate..lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACSmith Posted May 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 Isaac's How many riders usually go? What type of bike are in the group? Just wondered if our bagger's can keep up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixxus Christ! Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 They cant. They'd be great for the slab down there but a 700 lb bagger simply isn't going to keep up with a sport tourer, supersport or sumo, especially on the dragons tail.

ACSmith Posted May 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 ^^^^^^guess I have been called worse....lol.....but kudos on your creativeness! Yep I'm out on the Deals GAP...looking like the Roadglide or Street Glide are too big and heavy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixxus Christ! Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 People bring Harleys there every year. My father in law rode the gap on his road king, he just didn't do it very quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixxus Christ! Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 Plenty of heavy cruisers go to DG. They're everywhere down there. The riders split into small groups. Some don't even ride at all. Your bikes are perfectly fine for that place. Don't let these assbags lie to you.Never said they couldn't ride the gap, just that they're not gonna keep up, which is what she asked.

ACSmith Posted May 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 Guess I'm going to have to look into it. Sometime it's not about doing it quickly but taking it nice and slow and enjoy the ride.

Gixxus Christ! Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 They put a culvert in the gutter and buried my mind down there with it. Giggity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C-bus Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 Don't count yourself out of the Gap. Some ride for the adrenaline....some ride for the scenery. Im not going, but I've been a few rides and haven't felt a bit bad about hanging back and enjoying the view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACSmith Posted May 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 Definitely something the husband and I should look into...I am more of the scenic rider then the adrenaline rider. Bad324 will look our for the maroon Electra Glide..where is he parking the RV? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imagineer Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 I had reason to be in Port Clinton on Saturday afternoon so the Missus and I stopped in Sandusky while out there. Although there was little traffic and it was easy to find parking, I was disappointed at the scale (or lack) of the event. Being an 'Ohio Bike Week' virgin, I didn't know what to expect, but I was hoping it was more than just what we saw in the parking lot behind the H-D dealer. We were able to see all that was there, buy a requisite t-shirt or two and be on the road in 30 minutes. I didn't see what the all the radio hype was about.

Tonik Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 but I was hoping it was more than just what we saw in the parking lot behind the H-D dealer. So you didn't go to the Fairgrounds? That is where most of it is at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imagineer Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Fairgrounds? The website for Bike Week indicated it was centered around Mad River HD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonik Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Fairgrounds? The website for Bike Week indicated it was centered around Mad River HD. Yea, their description of what is happening is bad. It is headquartered there...Mad River is the brains behind it. But that is just a stop on the way to the Fairgrounds where most all of it happens.

ACSmith Posted June 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Most of it will be downtown by the lake starting this Wednesday (used to be at fairgrounds but moved downtown), also have things going on at Mad River Harley, the Fairgrounds, and M&M cycle on Rt 250. It's kind of spread out with different events, rides and concerts each day. Wasn't the greatest weekend for any event or riding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
