I went to Americade this year and had a blast. Lake George and the surrounding area is beautiful and great riding. The vendors were ok, no great deals that I saw. We're planning on going again this year.

Great rally, seems as though I seen more tour bikes than cruisers. Could have been just me.

Beautiful area. Google Earth the location, I think you will enjoy it.

Am I wrong...but Americade used to be more Goldwing leaning? Seems I heard that a few years ago? I MAYB E WRONG.....don't sue me. I never made it that far. I rode from Florida to Binghamton NY one year and never got to Americade LOL

Default americade

back in the early or mid eighties(aspencade) this was the jam for goldwingers and jap bikes i never made it ,till this past year every type of bike rider, good event laid back i just did not like the idea of paying an admission fee to browse/buy motorcycle accessories.
town was packed ,had to stay in glens falls and then cruised up to lake placid beautiful riding
