The Great American Motorcycle Show
Born To Ride Southeast Magazine|March 2020
“The Greatest Show On Earth,” that’s what I think it should be called.
The Great American Motorcycle Show

But I’m told that some other show or another has already claimed that title.

Oh well. I still think that show promoter Rhonda Sodel really does put on the Greatest and Largest Motorcycle Show anywhere. And every year it gets bigger and better. I always get overwhelmed just walking through the doors and into the show.

" I always get overwhelmed just walking through the door and into the show. Never really knowing where to start"

Never really knowing where to start. Or which way to begin. It’s that big!

If anyone ever mentions to me again, that motorcycle sales are down, or the enthusiasm for our sport is fading, I’ll know that they haven’t joined the crowds at our annual show in Atlanta. You just gotta be there and see for yourself--the crowds roaming about, sitting on bikes, buying accessories and clothing, watching the shows. It’s amazing! A people watchers paradise! Young, old, middle-aged … there is something at the show for everyone. Now the reasons that I came to the show this year, were #1-to take pictures and share photos of the show with you, #2-see all my old friends from the Atlanta area and beyond, meet new friends (I never knew that I didn’t know), and #3-to find some lightweight, summer riding gloves. Mission accomplished!

My Uncle *Gee' was my dad's father figure in his life for many years because his father worked many hours. He came from Italy and worked with marble but than later became ill and couldn't do much with my dad. That's when Uncle 'Gee' stepped in and helped my dad in life as a father figure. So in this month of June. as a special Father's Day tribute, we would like to honor my Uncle "Gee' Fidel Galletti who was a real WWII war hero pilot who flew B-17s. Most of all, he was my dad's hero This story is courtesy of The 390th Memorial Museum and my cousin. Marie Gallletti, Mitchell.
