This will be the first time in 11 years that I don't go to BikeWeek. I have had friends offer to trailer my Wing down, but my belief has always been "if you see my bike in a trailer - its being stolen". BikeWeek is all about the ride, I never start out with a group, but by the time I make my turn South on I-75 I'm with other riders. Made some great friends over the years on these trips to and from.
For any of you on your first trip, good luck, have fun, be safe.
