I'm sure its profitable for Dickson Street and the hotels.

Not necessarily true. Quite a few business owners downtown close because their regular customers are unable to reach them and the BBBQ crowd isn't interested in what they have to offer.
Of course, those business owners can adapt and either sell parking spaces or let a vendor rent space from them... but a lot of us just use it as an opportunity to close down and get out of town.
The bikers tend to spend the majority of their money with the festival vendors, not with the local businesses.

Business owners on Dickson seem to like it alright. It helps get them back in the black after the slow summer months.
Not necessarily. Your regular customers can't park anywhere near your business so they just stay away all week and you replace them with, for the majority, trashy people who are looking for the cheapest deals possible.
It hurts as many businesses as it helps. Not to mention they pack around 50+ food stands on Dickson which takes away from the restaurant revenue tremendously.
