Default Some Pics from Americade

im not sure if this is the right palce to put it, i dont think it would get alot of attention in Appearance Cosmetic. Mods move it if it is necessary. I just wanted to post a few of the pictures i took on the last day or Americade, up in lake george, NY.

If anyone else was there and took some shots, or has a story or 2 from the week, post some pictures up.










hopefully my next purchase)


























(alot of custom bikes/trikes/etc...)






(she was scary)

That thing is an accident waiting to happen.

That little buggy has training wheels because they have extreme tendencies to flip when taking corners at slightly more than a snail's pace. They're very dangerous.

Did you run into any police blockades? I read that they were escorting bikers into rest areas on the highway to cite them for improper equipment and such.

no i didnt go through any blockades, i did see alot of speedtraps though. Police were everywhere, the drinking and riding problem was a big issue, since Americade becomes a big block party at night, but it wasnt horrendous due to the fact that most people stayed in hotels on the main strip, where the block party happens

those little buggies barely go over 30, they are rented locally year round i just though it was funny seeing them ride through a town swamped in bikers, and the looks on their faces when they realized they picked the wrong time to vacation in lake george

Did you try to find all the ugliest bikes you could find and show us?

^^^Tool!!

To each his own! i took pictures of bikes i thought were nice looking or unique, the main point was to show pictures from the meet and to see if anyone else was there. Seeing as it is a HUGE event for the northeast.
