Have more fun at biker rallies when you can ship your motorcycle both ways

If you want to attend a bike rally but can't take the time to ride both ways, shipping can save you days and hassle. Anywhere from thousands to hundreds of thousands of motorcyclists attend major rallies and events in the U.S. each year.

I remember the good old days when riding your bike somewhere wasn't considered a hassle.

Yes, a big part.

I dunno...after more than 55 years, the ride is STILL more important than the destination....You don't ride to get someplace, you go someplace so you can ride!

In the olden days we always rode... then people started trailering... I guess this is the next step. (yes, you can now rent bikes for rallies)...

I think this represents a change in who actually participates in rallies.
