July 13/2018. Weather sunny and 90. A hot one to ride to Port Dover for the bike rally. We had to go, our 139,998 friends will be there! Yes, 140,000 people did converge on the little fishing hamlet. It was a zoo! As we got on the highway bikes were on every road heading towards PD. We got into town about a half mile out and found parking and walked down to the waterfront. It is a bike watching day and a people watching day too! People jammed into the streets, bikes lined up for miles and miles on every street in Port Dover. Nothing to do but Enjoy and drink lots of water! Others might be into the beer! Haha. Bands are playing everywhere, bars are full, restaurants are full, hotdog vendors will sell thousands today. A little history is that a local biker named Chris and 25 of his friends decided that on every 13th of every month in every year since 1981 (it was November the 13th) they would invite friends to come. Word of mouth started it all and it grew into a massive rally in the summer months when the Friday falls on the 13th.
