I'm just down the road from there. Been there many times. It's not a bad time. Lots of cool stuff to do and see. You should make the effort to go. Later this week the weather is going to get nice.

Americade is always a good time. I'm heading up Friday for the weekend. If you don't want to pay to get into the vendor area head up Route 9 to Warrensburg. Most of the same vendors and all free. The Warrensburg rally runs along with the Americade. http://warrensburgbikerally.com/

Hey nightstar57...I was there...did you end up going? I didn't overindulge in the nightlife...just bought a few things at the Touring Expo and road my brains out in the Adirondacks and beyond. I might start another thread and post a few pics.
