got back last night. The 2nd time at this event and much fun was had. I thought this year was bigger than last year. Friday and Sunday the weather was perfect. I thought Saturday was a little chilly.

Traffic on the way home sucked bad. Huge back up about 10 miles before the bay bridge. My bike was not happy.

but made it home safe and will return next year.

If you have to go that far do Leesburg, Florida bike fest it's better than Daytona bike week.

I left Sunday morning. I knew the traffic was gonna suck. It wasn't bad at 8am,although I was a little hung over. I've been to the last 5 Delmarva bike Weeks and it usually rains. We definitly lucked out! Everyone I talked to loves this event. I do.

We got back sunday nite around 7. I won't take the bay bridge to go down or come home. We did that once and sat in a backup for hours. When did move I asked toll attendant what was going on and he said that he didn't know. I think they just shut bridge down and take a couple hour break when they want to.
We had a great time, we went over to Lancaster and down rt. 896,72, 40,13. Great ride that way and no traffic backup. We weren't in a hurry, we couldn't get in the house we rented till 3pm. I like that everything was spread out over the area, like myrtle beach, helps with traffic I think. We want to stay all week next year and ride around the area more. Just 4 days it seemed like we were rushed just to see the rally stuff. Mark

Been going since the beginning. I have to say this was the best weather yet.

I was riding about 30mph on Rt50, in traffic, and this woman was right on my a$$. A cop pulled out of the Royal Farms and grabbed her. Im sure he was pulling her over for tailgating me because I was stuck at a light and I could see him pointing at me.
