Going On Record... A Million Bike Party! : V-Twin Forum: Harley Davidson Forums

The weather report is in... cool front moving into the Midwest Thursday and Friday but only 30% chance of scattered T-Storms. Saturday and Sunday will be partly cloudy and cool... utterly perfect weather for a huge party in Milwaukee. Rain will not be an obstacle.

Chicago will turn out its full contingent of bikers commuting up to the party. I am going on record to say that there will be a MILLION bikers in Milwaukee this weekend.

If I'm right... this is the biggest thing since sliced bread. Be there or be square!

Right now the local news is reporting that they expect 300,000. personally i think its going to be 600,000-700,000.

Local sheriffs have reported they expect close to the million mark.

Wow...

So I am not the only one shooting for the million mark. It's all about weather. The weather has been hot but fairly good for the Ride Home and it looks like people are coming in large numbers. The weather will be excellent for the party.

This means that the zone up to 250 miles out can run in for a day trip. That covers a heck of a lot of bikers. In bad weather, they will stay home. In perfect weather, watch out.

If the Nation of Islam can generate a Million Man March in Washington DC... we can do a Million Bike Party in Milwaukee!

I'm guessing over a million. Someone estimated 2 million at one point but I think that's optimistic (depending on your point of view). If I were to be more exact, I'll guess 1.25 mil.

There might be a million people there, but I'm sure there won't be a million bikers there. (Now let's not fight over the definition of a biker) I have a buddy that is flying out and renting a mini-van. I'm sure he'll be a decked out in his biker costume just like it's Halloween. That's one of the million that ain't a biker.

......and just think - everyone will have a chance to test ride the '04's

. I would hate to be standing in that line

That line totally sucked. I didnt even bother.

BTW..I have not watched any news reports so have no idea on the estimates they are giving for attendance, but I have hit most of the major Venues so far & not 1 thing has been crowded, & parking is free & ez to get any place in town. If I had to guess I would say it cant be more than 200,000. We had 100,000 the last couple years..although I disagree with last years figures, I think it was more like 50,000...& this seems just about doubled. Definately no where near a million. Maybe saturday & sunday will see a massive influx of bikes???
