Love seeing the pics and hope to get one of these one day.

Heck, if my parent's hadn't already had plans there would have been an 1800 trike there. And as anyone there could tell you, there was lot's more room. Could have parked 2 cages without them getting close to the bikes. lolol

Looks like a lot of fun. I'm from Portland, IN originally and still have family there. Maybe I can make an excuse to go visit and make the next meet up. anim-cheers1
