I went downtown late this afternoon and I saw the most motorcycles I have ever seen in one place.:yikes: (no I havn't been to Daytona or Sturgis) Mostly sport bikes of course-Ducati nation is here in force. It was really cool. There were bikes lined up for blocks in central Indy. There is a big traffic circle in midtown and they were all around there with more circling. Lots of looks and thumbs up on the spyder. My wife saw one other parked but I missed it. Last night and tonight the city is closing down a large part of down town to car traffic. It will be limited to bikes. 7pm to 3am. I may go back tonight. Just to show out, I guess, since the spyder get so many looks.
One thing I noticed was that the great majority of riders were wearing helmets. There is no helmet law in Indiana. The Harley riders I saw, for the most part were helmetless. Part of the mystique I suppose.
Anyway, it was really neat to see all the bikes.:2thumbs: My son was supposed to come in for the race tomorrow and I had planned to go with him but he couldn't make it so I won't either. Maybe next year.
