Went last year! Had a great time. Met a lot of cool folks from all walks of life and we all shared one thing - A Love For Choppers and Bikes. Took some great pictures. The Choppers and motorcycles there I saw were incredible including the classic bikes and even saw the bike called The Indian. Sat on and got a feel on every one I liked! Asked a lot of questions and got a lot of answers. Looking forward to checking out this one too.
