The roar of motorcycles filled Lake George this weekend, as tens of thousands of riders gathered for Americade<\/a>, one of the world\u2019s largest motorcycle touring rallies.<\/p>\n

The annual event, which began in 1983, draws motorcycle enthusiasts from across the country for guided rides through the Adirondacks, a bike exposition and other events throughout the village.<\/p>\n

One of the most popular attractions is the downtown block party, where crowds pack the motorcycle-lined streets to watch a competitive slow riding competition and a freestyle motorcycle stunt show.<\/p>\n

Reporter David Escobar was a spectator at this year\u2019s event and captured this audio postcard.<\/p>\n
