I can tell you this, it's not going to snow! And it;s not going to suck either. So if it snowing where you are, have fun with that

I'm going rain or shine. Don't ever remember spending a week in FL where rain didn't come across at some point. Seems to come and go quickly though compared to these storms up here in the Northeast.

LOL, you are absolutely right!!

I'm not leaving till Wednesday night or Thursday morning. I guess In my mind the party doesn't start till I arrive!!

The first weekend and part of bike week is always slow (at least by bike week standards). The peak is the final Friday and Saturday. Hang around till Sunday and see how fast it gets quiet and how fast the vendors load up. It gets kind of like a ghost town pretty quick. (the t-shirts get real cheap by noon Sunday...)

It will rain. It will be cold. It will be hot. It will be perfect. Problem is no one is sure as to when all this will occur. It can't possibly be worse than where you are now. Probably.

I have been to Bike week a few times, last year was a bit cool, (at night), a couple of years before that it rained some....well anyway it wasn't frozen or rained out, and always have a good time. I'm upset I can't got this year (have prior obligation), so I guess I have to wait for Octoberfest, the rest of you have fun, enjoy, and be safe.

LOL! No worries. I just didn't want you to miss it ;-)

I have a buddy that owns a home remodeling and handyman service. He wears T-shirts all day everyday so on the final Sunday you'll find us walking through all the shops and tents buying 6 for $20 shirts. I only maybe buy 1 as I don't wear them that often, but he'll get 24 to 30 shirts for his "wardrobe."

Have fun and ride safe.

They cant predict 24 hrs out. Last year was 50's . Looks way better this year so far. Quit worrying.
