Is there some kind of bike event in Columbus, OH?

[John Schmidt]

Nephew indicated something was going on, but figured with the cold and snow they've had it wasn't a ride-in type of event. Just curious now, anybody know what it might be?

EasyRider bike show. It is sometime in Feb. It is a good time. I went in 05 ish. Had a wild night on the town.

That show is LEGEN wait for it DAIRY like milk from a cow.  That is a fun show from what I've heard. My wife and I tried the Charlotte one a few years ago and she didn't enjoy it.  She wanted to see more riding and less dreaming.

Is it geared mostly for 2 cyl?   I am hoping to see some parts/access, don't really care about "shows" or the eye candy.

I don't even want to waste a 50 mile drive if it's all for hogs.

I'll give some sort of comments on the show and try to be fair

- very small room
- 99.9% 2cyl
- band ok
- lots of tatooing-piercing
- "pretty" bikes, not many I would ever be caught riding, a few I would take in a heartbeat
- lots of leather, if you can sort the real "junk" into the decent stuff
- I did not notice real leather crafters
- some interesting products, a few apply to us
- $20 a pop to get in
- I forgot how $$$ event food was
- the best deal may have been $5. beer? everywhere, we don't drink
- I appreciate my luck in having my wife a lot more

personal-- I won the first door prize, a t-shirt that maybe my grandson will wear for a nightshirt.
               I am glad we got their at doors open, it did get crowded. If I would have taken my
               patches to have sewn on my jacket,it would have been a good day. I will not go to 
               another one indoors, but may give one outdoors a chance. Registered/bought tickets for
               3 bikes that "heart" is not into owning(free or good causes)

Did ya watch the fashion show? When we went in 06 it was quite big. 2 big rooms, 1 up and 1 down, with alot of vendors. Then the auditoruim had the fashion show. Lotta neat bikes but you can tell they were for show and not daily riders. $5beer? Lucky for us we brought our own whiskey in. 

Spent all weekend there once. Some things i learned that weekend:
-6 pee stops between Ft Wayne and Columbus
-To much $$ to go to the show.
-Bikers dont eat at hoytie toytie resturants.
-Frogbear bar rocks untill you get thrown out.
-You can bring your own beer into a tt bar. So will your cab driver if you pay for him.
-spending 6 hours in a lesbien bar can be the best time of your life.
-good times with good friends.

That weekend was tied with the weekend in L-ville for the Easyrider show there. Good memories.
