FYI, If anyone needs a bike, but lives to far a way there are a lot of places around here to rent one for the day. Since Emo-fest is on the Saturday and Sunday, I was thinking of making the run on Friday. Lonnie

I was a brand new private then. Didn't really go anywhere until Bosnia in 2001. Then, with 9-11, it was one deployment after another for awhile.
Now, Back to the EmoBikeFest topic!

I have never considered renting a bike, are there big machines for rent? I have an 1880cc Warrior that I ride around here. It is set up as a bar bike, but I have bags adn a windshield for it. I put on the traveling gear occasionally. we rode up to Sturgis afew summers ago and set up lodging for the rally, then trailered up with the women for the week of the rally. That was my last long ride. Three days out and three back.
Renting a bike might make things easier. I have to take my boy back to Cincinnati Children's Hospital for a folow up this summer anyway. Maybe I can make the dates coincide. I will keep it in mind. Thanks, Bradley

Ive wanted to ride down for the last two years, but the wife always has other plans for us on labor day weekend. Maybe this will be my year to come down.

I do know you can rent HD, Honda, Yamaha around here, but I will see what else if available.

If I can go this year, it sounds like I'll be the only one on a sportbike. Oh well, at least it's a V-Twin, so it'll sound similar...kind of lol.

Honestly, I am not sure. I will ask him tomorrow. He really should set up an account on here and then he could answer directly. ;D

I have a (little) Ninja (250cc) that I ride back and forth to work every day to save on gas milleage. I might have a different bike by Emofest, though. If not, I know my Ninja can do 90 mph on 840 so I should be able to hang. ;D
