Kimberly may be getting ready for her next New Hampshire escape, and this blog has been discontinued. Thanks for visiting and happy travels!

[Seems like I just wrote about this!] Open up the trunk, find those leather chaps, spider web jumpsuits and leopard print skull caps...June 9th-17th marks Laconia's 84th Annual Motorcycle Week! Despite the obvious, that this event is for bikers, despair none, because there is nothing obvious about this infamous NH event! In my veteran opinion, Motorcycle Week is much more a people watching scene than a search for the 'best hog' venue. So try and blend in with some black, leather or tattoos and join the thousands that show up for biker fun! Prepare for bikes, chrome, crowds, lines and even some old school bar room brawls!
