I didn't notice the City had decreased the bike parking? Where? Lakeside will be closed to cars starting tomorrow or Thursday. It looks the same to me as always.

I did see a few empty vendor spots, but I think they will fill in as Americade was last weekend in Lake George NY... I also noticed the vendors to be spread way out some. The track is making a big push to be a destination... they have JP cycles and a few other big vendors as well as all of the demo rides. Laconia Harley has quite a few, and I think there is dyno guy or some sort of thing going on in Ossipee.

I don't blame the city as much as I blame the state for the decline of the rally.. They want the bikers to go ALL over the state, not just Laconia. Spread the wealth if you will. To this end they overwhelm Laconia with Statie's, looking to bust your balls... make you feel unwelcome. For example, on Sunday 6 yes six state troopers standing there waving people over right next to the entrance of Meredith bridge condos!
