Default NJ State HOG Rally...WTF!

Rode down to Seaside, Heights Friday night for the "NJ State HOG Rally". Seemed like there were more police than motorcycles! It downright sucked ***! It was so dead there that we actually tried finding the "Jersey Shore" house.
Been to a few rallies, but that was the first HOG Rally. Is it normally like that?

Went down there Saturday. Didn't see an abundance of law enforcement but I expected more biker activity. It was nothing like Wildwood or Delmarva.
The tents were weak. I think they may call it a "HOG" rally because of the pork on barbecue row. Needless to say, I wasn't impressed but it was a nice day to ride.

Yeah the rally sucked, but it was a beautiful day to ride. Good thing I did not pay upfront to attend.

If anyone was in the "vendor" area and saw a blacked out RG on display at the powdercoater tent, that is my bike. He and the guy next to him, Frank Mullin Cycles did all the work on my bike so they wanted it on display...downside...I was bikeless for a few days...upside, I have some credit comin my way

Family commitments prevented me from attending and I was bummed out. Reading this post makes me feel so much better.

Yeah, not too good. I'm glad I only live right over the bridge in TR and didn't travel far for it. Nothing special at all.

If you think yours was bad, you should have been at the so-called "National HOG Rally" in Oklahoma City a year or so ago. It was a joke!!!!

Me and some friends decided to skip the rally since it was such a beautiful day to ride. So we rode from NYC to Ocean City, MD for some crab cakes.The day was broken up by the Cape May Ferry.

Awesome day. Glad we didn't go to the rally.

Default New Jersey Rally? What a joke!

Me and my wife stayed all three days.Thursday night and friday night it was wall to wall police cars ridding around all night.The Rally was a borefest.Our Hog group lost our sponser in March but thirty of us showed up to get together and have fun.If it wasnt for all the alcohol we drank,i would have been sleeping by 9pm.To top it off we payed 15 bucks apeice for a BBQ of cold burgers,dogs and undercooked chicken.My wife and i went in town to get a hot meal and found all the rallys top brass having dinner at a restaurant.Guess they couldnt eat it either.

Never going back to a NJ State Rally till the get some new blood in there!!
