In a lil' over Two Weeks... the smoke will clear.   One thing will be certain, the "500" mark will be surpassed!     For those with a memory ... 2016 was advertised with '500!' ...   Failed .  Only got 265 or so, of which some were 'illegal'.  Not a whole lot of bikes. 2017 was advertised with '501!'  ...  Failed .  Only got 274 or so, of which some were 'illegal'.  Embarrassing. 2018 attempts failed 2019 attempts to date, failed 2019 attempt in Europe was shelved, but claimed to have upwards of 500 at their event.  How many would have even lined up though? On the 5th of October, in Hot Springs Arkansas that elusive 500 number will be KRUSHED!   Upwards of 600 bikes are currently registered as of today.  How many will line up that Saturday morning and Parade around the city to be counted?   Over 500 ! The bar has/will, be raised.  For the first time that "500+" number will be real.  Worth looking back on. Worth ta

We're less than a month away and Indian Motorcycle has FINALLY jumped on the train.  I realize how hard this can be .   No doubt they don't want to appear biased in any way.  Back in '16/'17 they had a loose cannon in their midst and they kept their distance.  Then in '18/'19 they had other attempts, but none really had any momentum.   I"m assuming they have obviously been following this one and took a deep breath and said " ALL IN!"   Or something like that? I was speaking to some buddies the other day and we were discussing how Indian AND Harley Davidson were having separate attempts, on the same day, less than 250 miles apart from each other.   One guy was was laughing saying "what do you have, 250 bikes?  Hahahah".   Well, no.  We have double that registered and possibly 3 times that?   I pointed out the HD record is around 2400 bikes and they didn't break it last year, despite there being millions of HDs in t

Ninety Nine percent of the discussion .. goes on in this group below.  Still, not everyone is on FB.  Every day, someone asks "how do I register?"   "Where do we meet?" .. .. so, in an attempt to herd the cats ... I created this Blog .  Hopefully it helps and doesn't further confuse folks! So, I hope you find the info on the Blog helpful and easy to find.   But if you want real time info, head to this group and join it.   Look forward to riding with you in October!  We're going to KRUSH the existing record (274).   With well over 500 bikes registered as I type this.. its all but guaranteed!  But, how BIG will it be!? https://www.facebook.com/groups/540758513050850/
