When you can’t find the door
Really a disappointment. 2 or 3 vendors with a handful of items! Cole Harley and some bike shops could have been there. Only one food vender(BOTD)!!Have seen more bikes and varieties on other weekends. I really thought the biker Brothers and sisters would've emptied out those extra parts from their garage
When is it over?
Where.is,this At

I better go..keep up my biker persona.

Was there Thursday, no picture AGAIN. Was there last year first time and no picture. BOTD needs a full time photographer, VERY DISAPPOINTING.
