We rode up last month to Carlisle for the bike fest, but took the long way so we could ride longer. The day was beautiful and we enjoyed the sun and wind as we sped along. We didn’t get lost until we got there and then we couldn’t find the right turn off for the gate we needed. Finally we saw a bazillion bikers and followed them in.

It only cost 8 dollars to get in compared to the 15 at Gettysburg and they had a lot more stuff going on and rows and rows of vendors. We walked and walked, it was so humid and the sweat was pouring down my back. As you can see from the photo below my poor old bones were so tired I had to sit down and rest a spell.

I took some photo’s of some of the interesting bikes on display plus one of the 9/11 that was being raffled off and also I got some of the MIA/POW chopper, simply beautiful. The photo’s I took really don’t show how jam packed the place was with different types of bikers, it was fun to watch and see everything.

I tried to get a few shots of the kids doing the motorcross stunts, but you can’t see from the pictures so luckily someone took a video and put it on YouTube and if you watch you’ll see what we saw. I was amazed at how good the one guy was. We left soon after because the clouds started rolling in. We really enjoyed the Carlisle Bike Fest over the disappointing time we had at Gettysburg.
