This is mostly to exhort you to NOT DRIVE HERE for the festival!!! Take Metro!!!

I was riding 2 up, with bags and topcase. I cannot IMAGINE being here in a car...

Also, these Connies are surprisingly maneuverable in heavy traffic!!

You had me worried. I don’t DRIVE anything there. Metro for the win!
My speed in this video didn't exceed 35 mph.

I purposefully went out in that traffic. Was a good exercise as relates to slow speed maneuvering; I have a TON of video before this, which was getting from my house to this point.

I love this stuff. Its amazing how well a bike can maneuver (even a big one) when you know how to handle it.

These Concours are FANTASTIC inner city bikes, if you have good spacial awareness and throttle/brake control. She never ceases to amaze me. :)
