Anyone ever been to Ohio Bike Week before? If so, which is the best weekend to go? When are the biggest crowds? Tame or wild? Anyone heading there this year? I am hoping to make one weekend. Wasn't sure if June 4, 5, 6 or the following weeekend would be best.

 

I have been there before. It isn't that rowdy. At least I never thought so. They have a website. The dealer that did a lot of the stuff went under last year, or maybe the year before, I can't remember, but it was bought out by another dealer and the new people say they will be open when bike week starts in 2010. The dealer is on US 250 just north of rt 2. Pretty easy to get to

Haven't been there before but have heard good things. I am heading up for the second weekend. Gonna try to hit Put-In-Bay for an afternoon too.

I would say the second weekend since it is focused on Put-In-Bay which has tons of bars including one of the longest bars. Roeder's(our old dealer) did close thanks to Will running it into the ground BUT we did get a new dealer that they're working on now which was said to be done in time for OBW! Mad River Harley is the name of the new dealer.

If you plan to go to the islands they are extending the ferry times for carrying bikes to & form the islands. Also all the islands of lots of bars & camp grounds. Nice quiet little town with pretty good weather the first week of June. Most of the downtown roads where all the bike week events will be held have been repaved or repaired in some one so pretty biker friendly. They usually even set our lights to a timer so no biker gets stuck on a country light or anything. I know Sandusky & Huron usually changes their light systems or you could just use the neodymium magnet trick. lol.
Anyways want to know any good restaurants, camp grounds or anything just message me. Ride safe guys & hope to see you in June!

Just got back from OBW. Great time. Stay off Rt. 4 south of 103. Grooved pavement and nasty potholes sux!
Fairgrounds was good time. Vince Neil concert was good and the warm up band Jackie rocked. Good time in Sandusky and felt welcomed. Wish I could go back next weekend.
