They might be able to make it happen because money talks and that is big money, i hope not but it could happen, either keep it in June, move it to after Labor Day or postpone. Don't take vacation time away from others already booked in August. What are they going to do Bump booked reservations in August for Bike week visitors?

Agreed...ex-biker here but they can’t, in my opinion, predict any kind of postponement or re-schedule until they (we) as a state, know what the immediate future even is.

The last week in August is typically a slow week for rentals because the kids go back to school. One problem with waiting until September is much of the summer help is gone and that makes it difficult to service the large influx of people.

There are some pretty experienced minds and many local business owners involved in making the decision. Whatever they decide will be in the best interest of everyone involved.

If the NFL and NBA won't bank on September, it's tough to envision Bike Week in August
