Portland, Indiana Rally 2011

[jbcruisin]

I'm starting a thread on the Portland, Indiana Rally It's July 11th to the 16th. Bonnie & I are going this year. We've never gone before. It's supposed to be the biggest motorized bike rally in the country. I know Helmut was there last year & Quenton & Donna go every year. It's about 550 miles from our place to Portland. Is anyone else from the forum going. Feel free to post. We bought a 6 by 10 foot enclosed trailer to take the bikes in. We could only fit 4 of them in. We'll post more as the trip & then the rally progresses.

Went on a 25 mile ride Tuesday. Wednesday we went on a 40 mile ride.There was over 1/2 mile of bikes at each ride. Hundreds of bikes. Only 2 broke down. Quenton said there's way over 10,000 people here. I'll post more pics tomorrow.
