Add to this the 5 day pass per person at well over 300, $600 per couple, now you're looking at $1500 PLUS, for the weekend.<br />Notwithstanding the super lineup of bands and attractions, I'm sorry, but $1500 can carry me a much longer period of time spent away from "Sturgis North". And I'm not the only one of that mindset.<br />If I decide to take my motorhome rather than tent it, add about another $250.<br />Now maybe I'm cheap,(I don't think so), but for just less than 2 Grand, I can ride a hell of a lot longer, further, and enjoy myself just as much, if not more.<br />Now the way I understand the whole thing, it's not just a bike rally. It's a music fest, open to everybody. I would rather spend time with like-minded people than have to deal with the general public who, for the most part, dislikes "bikers".<br />After having been part & parcel of the shenanigans at Olds, I'm also NOT willing to put myself at the mercy of unscrupulous and over-zealous Law "Enforcement" officials, who will not doubt be brought in.<br />I will have better ways to spend my hard earned money.Poetnoreply@blogger.com
