Lots of camping, drinking and curvy roads in between. Should be gone 8 days and tack on another 3500ish miles onto the bike.   Whisperstealth Posted on Sunday, September 05, 2021 - 12:10 pm:        Awesome! Very cool! Rock on! Have a fun, great, and safe trip!   Hootowl Posted on Sunday, September 05, 2021 - 02:06 pm:        Some good bands there. Light the Torch, Avatar, Trivium…   Ducbsa Posted on Sunday, September 05, 2021 - 02:31 pm:        Ha! I’ ll be in Danville on the 14th to see the Cannonball competitors.   Aesquire Posted on Sunday, September 05, 2021 - 04:24 pm:        Halestorm! heck, from Five Finger Death Punch to Mastodon, what a lineup! Have fun.   Ourdee Posted on Sunday, September 05, 2021 - 07:01 pm:          Cupcake_mike Posted on Sunday, September 05, 2021 - 07:23 pm:        Yeah I was pretty surprised about the number of good bands attending when we stumbled across it, very little advertising that I know of has been done outside of the immediate area its taking place in. Sold out in a couple weeks, and from what I've read, there's only about 35000 people attending. Not many considering that about 50 of those bands could be headlining their own show somewhere. There's a good 6 or 7 bands a day i'm really looking forward to seeing.   Tootal Posted on Sunday, September 05, 2021 - 09:10 pm:        Awesome Dude! Enjoy the ride!   Hootowl Posted on Sunday, September 05, 2021 - 10:16 pm:        I just saw Megadeth, LOG, Trivium, and Hatebreed together. Heck of a show.   86129squids Posted on Tuesday, September 07, 2021 - 05:10 pm:        MerleFest is going on too!! DANG but I'd love to make THAT one. I loves me some live music!! Got to see Motorhead at a Cherokee Survivors bike rally one year... EPIC. Rode over on my '77 shovel with two buddies... one also on a nicer shovelhead, his brother on a cool old ironhead. Of course we all had mechanical issues... but all made it home.   Hootowl Posted on Tuesday, September 07, 2021 - 05:32 pm:        Bikes that old, you’re bound to have issues. Wrenching on old bikes is part of the road trip experience.   86129squids Posted on Tuesday, September 07, 2021 - 06:33 pm:        Yeah... my buddie's shovel got stuck in 3rd, for the whole trip across the mountain. The ironhead had some electrical issues. My bike developed a gas tank seam leak while it was sitting on site, with everyone walking around smoking various things, including cigarettes. Also, my voltage regulator mount vibrated itself off the bike, had to have one fabricated there. What a trip! Oh and Lemmy was great- I had earplugs in, of course. I actually wrote a monthly biker magazine article about that trip, which happened late in 2009. Fun times!!!
