Yeah I am. Not sure what day yet. Probably Saturday if the weather holds. Where are you coming from? I'm in Enola. |

It's usually pretty lame...but I still go every year. It's all chopper stuff usually. But there are Yami and Kawi demo rides. Might take that crossplane crank R1 for a ride. |

The Street Fighter scene was pretty cool last year. Don't know if I'll make it this year tho. |

Well i'm originally from the Carlisle (Newville) area, before moving 25 miles away in York. In my opinion...it's all custom choppers and swap meet stuff for Harleys. A few decent vendors but mostly junk and nothing for our Buells. A couple years ago the Buell demo truck was there and that brought out some Buell enthusiasts but for the most part it's stretched, lowered, and chromed. I've been there almost every year for the last 20 and even showed my Buell there when I first won it, but i'm thinking I may just skip it this year. If you want to hang with other riders you will have more fun just cruising around Carlisle and hanging at the local bars such as the Cave, or the Gingerbread Man. Again this is just one guys opinion...if you enjoy the show, please go. Maybe i'll see you there...I'll be the bald guy wearing a black buell t-shirt with stripes down the shoulder. |

Wish I could go this year - maybe next time. I went to Dickinson College there in Carlisle, and never thought I'd eventually be part of the packs of riders and car enthusiasts that take over the town during the summer. I was up there a few weeks ago for an alumni thing and was blown away by the number of bikes roaring up and down the main streets, and there wasn't any show going on. It's some sort of crossroads. Never heard of the Cave (the G-Man is still the best bar to me). |

Xb9er...I live less than a quarter mile from the Quality Inn. I can see the train yard from my house. |
