A Year's Output of Our Planet's Chromium Mines Visible Here: Motorcycle Mania 2011



Thousands of motorcycles with their drivers and passengers. plus thousands more spectators filled the entirety of Main Street and some of the surrounding streets with a sea of chromium and brilliant paint. This was Motorcycle Mania 2011, an annual event in Middletown, Connecticut for the past several years. Follow are a sampling of photos from the event.


I don't know what motorcycle they rode in on but I am pleased they agreed to be photographed (obligatory eye candy)!

There were a great variety of machines on display including Harleys of every description, Honda comfort bikes, Spyder trikes, and conventional  trikes; also spotted was a single Ducati and a Victory. There were quite a few female drivers but always solo and of course the usual pairing of guy driving and gal holding on in back.



No motorcycle rally would be complete without a cast of colorful characters and this event was no exception:



Bikes and more bikes:




The End (time to partay!):
