I went to the opener this year and it was a great ride, in spite of the massive crowd. There had to be 4,000 people there. The rides that are later in the season are not nearly as crowded. (Supposedly)
They usually do 4 rides a year. Quads, bikes and 3 wheelers are permitted. $15.00 per rider.
I went to one about 3 years ago in March…and it snowed. It was a really good time but like you said, too many people. What do you ride? My son and I both have 1985 FL350R Honda Odysseys.
I ride an 81 yamaha IT465. An old big bore two stroke that is pure monster. My oldest son has an 85 YZ80.
I’ve been thinking of attending the last rumble. I think it is on a friday.
From the people i talked to at the Rumble, the traffic isn’t normally as bad as it was. With so many riding areas being shut down, places like the rumble will see more riders.
I’ve been thinking of joining a track, but I prefer riding woods. Tracks while fun, get really boring to me after awhile.
