The Harley Davidson 100th Anniversary bash is coming this summer, Milwaukee. Five years ago, at the time of the 95th, I was living off of Prospect Avenue. During the week, in the wee hours of the morning, hogs with "upgraded" exhaust pipes were doing laps up and down Farwell and Prospect, using my street as the crossover between the two one-way streets.

So are we all as excited about this event as the media would like us to be? The Journal Sentinel indicates that there were 140,000 people at the last one and more than 200,000 are expected to be at this one. Due to the lack of hotel space in the area, people are going to be sleeping at temporary campgrounds around the metro area.

Hmm... camping that week. Heading up north to do just that during the festivities may not be a bad idea.
