Ive said that I'm not against the event. I hunk its a cool thing to attract corporate executives who all seem to have a Harley and strap on the weekend leathers.
What I don't like is that they float out huge numbers to keep people supportive. There's a handful of businesses that kill during the weekend in comparison to those that see a decline.
I'm all for anything that promotes the area, helps bring in dollars, isn't a craft fair, and gives folks some entertainment options. It's all set up already. They were moving everything in yesterday. Our courier said traffic and parking is the worst he's ever seen it on Wednesday. I was much cooler w/ it when they set up on Thursday night and it was done Sunday evening. Now that there's zero draw on the music side and everything spread out all over town it's much more difficult to not be greatly inconvenienced.
I think Giles does a solid job. He's good people. I keep hearing buzz about these Iron Order fricks planning on instigating problems with other MCs. It'll only take one act of major violence to bring it all to a halt.

There should be some music changes over the next few rallys. The music selected is typically the biggest complaint visitors have of the rally.
I agree that it is unfortunate that so many of the visitors eat the vendor food and nothing else, lately many local restaurants have set up food tents and have done quite well.
Personally, I think the actual violent motorcycle clubs avoid BBB and its ilk like the plague because it is a bit too family friendly for their liking (very different perspective than a couple with two kids or something). You are right though, one really bad press event will cause seriously bad PR.
