Re: Who profits from Bike Week?
Just how would you stop it? People do have the right to gather and have a good time. You might be able to stop the formal events, but you can't stop the bikers from coming.
Speaking of rights, what right do those wooden boaters have to hog all the public docks for their shows? What about all the craft/art shows hogging the parking (cars and boats) in Alton, Wolfeboro, Meredith. What about the chowderfest? What about the fishing derbies? I sure see more state troopers, game wardens, and marine patrols around. Do the towns make a profit on these events? I'm sure if you add all them up there's more actual disruption time then bike week.
I just assume we all need to share the lake.
