Anybody ever been, is it worth going to. Any info is appreciated

My feeling is this.. Why go and pay 40-50 bucks to ride someplace you can ride for free..To me they are all the same..They give you a cheap t-shirt and a Hot-dog then ask if you have had a good time..If it were me i would spend my money on a decent trip and forget about the wannabes!!

J.J.,
The ride to Binghamton is a good one. There isn't much to say for Binghamton itself frankly, but it's always fun to see the thousands of other bikes decend on a single spot.

I'd suggest you go and get the pin, but then head North West into fingerlakes region and really see some great parts of our country.

Then just come back here and let us know what you thought.

Thanks... heres my thing I dont wanna be bored outta my skull when I NOT rididng so I guess Ill just ride solo if i must. Ive been to binghamton but only passin through, Baseball hall of fame ..been there done that. Im into good food, a lil drink and alot of riding....and maybe a lil more drink.

There honestly isn't a whole lot to do in Binghamton..But if you do decide to go watch the Lil bit of drinking.. they have already announced that there will be check points set up so they can make the state a few bucks..New York is going broke you know..Like DJW wrote get out of Binghamton and head for the Finger lakes and enjoy some good riding.. Either that or head for Wellsboro area of Pa. The Grand Canyon and out that way are some fantastic riding roads!! The baseball Hall of Fame is about a hour and half North of Binghamton in Cooperstown. Great place to eat in Syracuse..Dinosaur Pit but then there is also one in New York City also..that one is just as good!

Slight correction it's the Dinosaur Barbeque, and yes the one in Harlem is right down from the block from the Cotton club. It's a nice place but the last time I was there they hadn't quite figured out the "salt potato" thing yet.
