| Muscle Biker ![]() | I'll be riding in the Love Ride 13 (www.loveride.ch) in Dubendorf, Switzerland on May 8th. Just like the Love Ride in the USA, it's a fund-raiser for the MD association. They are expecting up to 10'000 (yes, ten thousand) bikers to be present, but they have limited the ride itself to 5'000 participants! I'll try to take a few pictures. When I picked up the tickets yesterday, the local Harley dealer told me that Switzerland has the highest number of motorcycles per capita of any country in the world - with a population of 7.5 million, there are more than 1/2 million registered motorcycles!

| Good idea and always nice to do something for charity, but I have to agree with Gixxerdale, lots of bikers, especially 5000, spells trouble everytime. Enjoy the day but be careful.

| Muscle Biker ![]() | I was there! There was about 5'000 bikes and about 10'000 spectators, and they raised about CHF 30'000 for the MD Association. Here's a few pictures ... one of the three parking lots, my GSX, and a picture that reminded me of LayinLo
