Private contractor
Lakesrider my opinions on bike week are based on the level of frustration that many of us who have no interest in the event deal with for those 9 days. I have to take days off depending on where the job is located. We also have to deal with the driving habits of those it brings into town. I’ve lived in this area for about 8-9 years and been a contractor for about 7 years. I visited bike week first when I was in my 30’s and was never really impressed. I’ve owned bikes and still do although not a Harley.
It is like the vacation crowd. They are here for 1-2 weeks. In that time they have a list of things to accomplish, in doing so they seem to loose all regard for any body or anything else around them.
The same goes for bike week.
Don’t get me wrong it doesn’t include everybody, but it sure does seem like there are more undesirables than not.
Many of the establishments that depend on tourism love the money it brings in, but talk to them one on one and you’ll find they don’t particularly care for the people it brings in.
But as always money talks…
