I'm not a big fan of motorcycle festivals. I know, I know, I run a powersports site and I shouldn't say that, but it's the truth. Part of it is that I generally like to be alone while riding, and any sort of festival or rally necessitates other people, and that can get too peopley very quickly. The other part is that eh, why would I want to go somewhere to get off my bike?
I ride to ride, not stop and get drunk for a week. That's why I loved the Devilstone Run last year. It was the antithesis of a normal motorcycle rally where, while there was people, it was centered around riding and building a community. It's also why I refuse to go to events like Sturgis or Daytona.
And in the same vein as the Devilstone Run, the Malle Mile Festival—something I've only now been made aware of—held in England looks absolutely like my cuppa tea, as it's about the bikes, riding, and the camaraderie of the event. Oh yeah, I need to get myself to England to witness this in person at some point.
