Hi all - Just sort of a PSA. I got an email from Bonnaroo today stating that they have changed their motorcycle policy. Before - you were not allowed to bring a motorcycle into the festival. You couldn't ride down - it had to be a car, Truck, van, or RV.
The email stating the change is as follows...
"After speaking with our staff, we have decided to change our motorcycle policy for the 2008 Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival! Festival attendees will now be allowed to drive to the event on motorcycles.
However, motorcycles will be allowed into the festival only if they are being used as a primary mode of transportation (e.g. Driving your motorcycle into the festival, rather then bringing it in the back of your truck). Please note that once you park inside the grounds, you are not permitted to drive your motorcycle around the grounds, unless you are adhering to the re-entry policy as stated in the 2008 Bonnaroo Info Guide, located on our website.

I personally saw at least one Harley in VIP last year (he was parked by the fence, about 30 feet away from the Tent-Only entrance). When I talked to the owner, he said they hadn't given him any grief. I also knew one other person who'd ridden her BMW from California in '06, and also had no problems getting in. IIRC, she was in GA, too.
Definitely good news for riders! I'd love to take my R1100R down one year... would've done it last year, if it wasn't for that whole VIP parking spot thing....

My buddy drove in w/ his dirt bike on the back of his truck last year. They tried to get him to pull out the spark plugs, but he couldn't get to his tools under all his stuff, so they let him slide as long as he promised not to ride around the fest. Sounds like they won't be so leinent this year.

You'd be surprised what you can fit on a bike with the right setup! Before deciding against it, I did a dry run with all my kit, including: 2-man backpack tent (incl. footprint, hammer & spikes) sleeping bag + air mattress 8" fan/tent light 4 days worth of clothing (plus what was on my back) Toiletry kit Pirate costume & trinkets (eye patches, skull & crossbone necklaces, etc.) Sandals Camelbak backpack with hand wipes, lighters, sunscreen, etc. Propane stove + tank Mess kit 1 pound of Chorizo sausages 750ml bottle of Licor 43
... all in 2 hard side cases and a duffel bag strapped to the passenger's seat of a BMW R1100R.
