Not sure if this is the wrong forum to post in... if it is, please move to the correct forum, mods.
So I've lived in ATX for years, but never attended any of the biker rallies. Probably because I don't own a bike.
For those of you who have been... what's there to do ? what's there to see ? any fun, or is it just another excuse to charge entry and parking fee ? am I doing to be the laughing stock, if I show up in a convertible ?
Please share your stories, as it may help those of us on the fence to make up our minds about attending ?

For the average person, it is basically a trade show for all things motorcycle; from apparel to honestly being able to build a bike from the ground up from all the various vendors scattered throughout the expo center; I go to shop for the latest in new rim designs, or new upholstered seat covers, or the latest in LCD lighting, to speak with the custom bike builders and appreciate their latest designs. Vendors range from t-shirts to tattoos; just wander through the parking lot and you will see every bike on the market...
typical county fair food, and beer, and more beer. The Paridise Bar is new this year with Hooters and Torchys Tacos and a few other local eateries represented and yes, more beer.....
After dark, the "Bead Parade" begins in the campground area, think Mardi Gras on motorcycles and golf carts, many golf carts are very uniquely designed; Thursday night favorites were the trailers made up to be a dance floor with a stripper pole in the middle and ladies dancing for beads, being towed by an golf cart.
After midnight, most ladies give up on pulling their tops up for beads and just end up topless; being heavily weighted down with beads...
and yes, there are many many attractive biker girls....
LIke all things Austin, Eyeores Party, sixth street, Spamorama, ROT Rally should be attended once just to say you have been there, done that....No one is excluded, there are all shapes and sizes, does not matter one bit if you do not ride...
