Street Vibrations started on Thursday as thousands of motorcycle enthusiasts have made their way into Reno.
The riders say they mainly come to the event to reconnect with all the people in their biker community, but also to enjoy the vendors and atmosphere.
The motorcyclists say the spring rally is fun, but the fall rally is the one you won't want to miss.
Valdar Wilt says, "This is the bigger one of the year and there will probably be a lot of people here because they didn't have it last year."
John Eastman adds, "It's got more vendors, more motorcycles, more people and more entertainers."
Helene Stevens says, "We just passed a guy doing seats, motorcycle seats, that I didn't think were that expensive."
Wilt mentions, "I came down mainly to look at the custom bikes."
All of them motorcycle enthusiasts enjoying the event since they didn't get the chance last year. Many of them say it feels like old times, being back in a public space after being isolated.
Stevens says, "To feel like it's normal in this un-normal time."
Most of the people who attend street vibrations are die hard motorcycle fans even if they don't ride themselves.
Bo Chancey, another motorcyclist says, "Every Time you see a group of motorcycles it gives you a heart rush no matter who you are, even if you're not a rider."
Wilt tells us, "Oh I'm a motorcycle guy. I've ridden motorcycles all my life."
Chancey adds, "The wind in your face, I mean I have 3 motorcycles that I ride."
Many motorcyclist say there isn't anything quite like riding down the road on their bikes, they say the feeling is unlike any other.
Chancey says, "People don't buy motorcycles that don't like to go fast."
Wilt mentions, "Just being out in the open air and it's fun."
Stevens tells us, "Oh freedom absolutely."
