I'm looking to attend the 2nd New Orleans bike week from 5-8 May. Did anyone attend the 1st one and are there any recommendations as to where to stay? Any input would be greatly appreciated

I didn't make the 1st one but a buddy of mine did. He said it was good for a first year rally. It was all based around the warehouse district just outside the quarter. The cops were passing out tickets for wrapping the pipes down in the french quarter. Other than that, the pics he took were ok. Maybe I'll be able to make the 2nd and it will grow a little.

I hadn't heard about this rally. My wife and I meet friends in NOLA every year the week after Mardi Gras (the puke and urine smell isn't as strong in the Quarter, LOL).
I think a few of us are going to rent some Harleys this year and ride around LA while the girls do their thing. I wish I could get enough time off to ride my own bike down, but I only get WED-SUN. What are some good day rides from NOLA?
You may want to try this site for starters. There are probably a couple more just do a search for La. motorcycle roads. Just don't look for much, it will be flat, but I can put you on some twists. A nice day ride out of N.O. would be to take Hwy. 22 from Hwy 61 to Covington/Slidel a few curves and following the bayou for part of the way. Also Hwy 90 and you can cruise the coast to Bolixi (but be careful Madi Gras day, Bolixi has a parade, don' ask how I know). New Orleans, Baton Rouge and Hammond rents Harleys.
I'll second highways 16 and 22. The river roads are nice too; some spots are a little rough. Oak Alley and Nottoway Plantation homes are along there. False River and New Roads are nice areas also.

Thanks for the suggestions, gents. I can't wait to get back to New Orleans. Incredible food, great bars and fantastic live music. Plus the people watching is something else!
