As always a good thing comes to an end
That really stinks but I seen it coiming. I use to go to bike week and the locals really put up a fuss and the police started messing with everybody so alot of people stopped going.And for the last 4 years the locals and the police have been messing with the rod run and last year you could really tell. Alot of no shows and empty hotels. The police were really bad around the Belair plaza. As for the new owners of the Belair plaza, The stores were always full! The rodders kept Ruby tuesdays. Wallgreens the pizza place and grocey store full! Now lets see how they do. I have not seen alot of problems such as burnouts speeding and so on just lots of traffic. I have rooms at the La Playa across the street from the Belair but will be moving my resv to the Ramada across from the speedway. I only stayed there because of the cars at the plaza. I guess in a year or two the rod run will be just like biketoberfest and bike week. People do not want to spend alot of money on food rooms gas to be harassed by the police. With the lost of money from the 500000 bikeweek 340000 biketoberfest and the 200000 or so for the rod run it won't be long before the locals will have to make up the difference.
I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
