Yes, bike weekend used to be two or three days of hardcore partying at the Weirs, but now it is a week of touring the lakes region, spreading the greenbacks farther and wider and including more "bikers" who have the means and the desire to pay for vacation type accommodations (remember the tents alongside the roads???). The increased police presence has made "bike week" MORE attractive to those who want to spend a weeks worth of tourist money in the lakes region. Remember the June we had last year? I was still running my heat, and the year before wasn't great either.
I agree with Argie's Wife, it looks like it will be a bumper crop this year . . .
look twice (three times) and give them room, and the benefit of the doubt.
