If you do go could you kindly do a follow-up post.
It was a beautiful day for a ride and though it was as busy as expected in the county, there are a few different and less travelled routes to get to the Picton area.
The show in on part of Base31, a former RCAF base with some history to it (bomber training). Most of the old structures appear to still be there, and I believe there is a Lancaster bomber static display in one of them. I plan to go back later this summer and check the whole place out without the MC show going on.
The event was more of a festival than a show, meaning there's more stuff to DO than SEE. There's bands playing at night, stunt and burnout shows during the day, a wall of death show, test rides from BMW and Husqvarna, a Ducati booth and it looked like an electric dirt bike thing too. Royal Distributing had a big sales area, and there were a few trailers/tents selling T-shirts. Some (Most?) of the t-shirt sellers were builders I guess. There were several food trucks and a large dining area.
There was a wheelie machine ($30.00).
Inside one of the hanger buildings was the Royal display and a large and varied vintage display as well as some builds. I loved the vintage bike, and a couple of the custom bikes demonstrated some serious skill.
My opinion:
It was OK. It's the kind of event that you need to immerse yourself and a few buddies in. Camp out, have a few in the evening while listening to the bands, take a few test rides, follow the GPS routes on the website to see the area, and just hang out.
As a one day destination for a solo ride, it was OK. I don't need to do it again.
