re: Bikes Blues & a bunch of dumb whore trash people.

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.
