Motorcycle Rally?

I'm going to be attending my first motorcycle rally this summer in Hollister. I'm not wanting to look like a dork, get in too much trouble and just have a fun time.

Any advise other than not wearing $800 of HD clothing, riding a Screaming Eagle V-Rod with the factory hard bags (ugh!) and having on a pair of Converse sneakers with shorts? If you live in the SF Bay Area, you may have seen this piece of work.
As far as my bike goes, I picked up a Harley Fat Boy and I'm loving it. Also, I will be going to the 105th party at the MoCo this summer.

1. Hmmm, without knowing you and riding with you it's hard to answer this but I'll give ya a few clues. First, if it aint yours don't touch, this includes bikes and if she's with someone that just looks mean don't stare. Watch where your going and everyone else around you. There are a--holes that will be drunk well beyond reason and will pick a fight if they walk into ya. Don't act like a dork and ya wont look like one. Jeans a t-shirt and boots will get you by just fine, and if ya decide to wear shorts fer god sake leave the speedos at home. Oh and last thing don't run around wearing rice burner t-shirts or hats.....

2. Just be yourself. Wear a HD shirt, but an old one, or make one look old. Besides you'll be on a Fatboy and that's all that really matters.

Have fun!
