Default Thunder in the Valley 2011. Johnstown, PA.

Anyone go to this? Me and 5 other guys just got back a couple hrs ago. Made for a nice 260mile day trip.
There are always a ton of bikes there to look at if you're bored. It pretty much shuts down the whole town for like 4 days with 200k+ bikes.

Here are a few random phone pics:

I was gonna to call, but I figured the extra 180miles would be too much for ya. I know your *** has taken some poundings in the past, but that's like 440miles.

If it helps, the jager girls said hi.

That's cool, man. It's 112miles from my house to the johnstown limit, but with the morning ride I took... and the ride to meet up with everyone... and the detour (bridge out), I bet I really had like 300 miles in by the end of the day. Plus... we had some Harleys in the group so it felt like 900. lol...
I swear that when I'm by myself it doesn't feel as far. Nate's house is about 180miles round trip and it feels like nothing.

Nope, no pics. You're just gonna have to close your eyes and pretend. lol.
There were also like 4 girls in their underwear with leather chaps. I don't know if it's a trend or what, but it didn't upset me. Well... except for that one girl. She needed a full suit and maybe a couple of large tarps.
