Found the article on the Barber Shop interesting. Also the article on the surf shop of how they came back again to have lessons after Bike Week. Also the quote about how people ( tourists ) of all kinds come and retire based on their experiences. This is how I ended up in Myrdoomed Beach. If I would have waited a couple of years who knows. The big question is how much damage has Myrdoomed Beach done to the flow of retirees now that the word is out from coast to coast among all. The runners are not signing up in great numbers and the City is already out of OT money we are told. But hey Flat is the new Up. www.news-journalonline.com/news/local/east-volusia/2010/03/05/in-the-heart-of-biker-heaven-but-with-a-different-beat.html

If I am any example it says they are in touch with who we are and also what our disposable income is as well as our needs. Hope all is well

The line from that article that REALLY stands out: "...A lot of local people have a real misconception about these people..."

All in All ,rodent and the clowncil really don't care , have to remember the dunes crew are lining their pockets, so no matter how many articles we send them about how Daytona Welcomes us and how much money is generated, MB power team just don't care it's all about the power and money their getting that matters and the he!!c with the rest of us Until the folks that put them in office wake up it'll never change and the unnews will new publish the truth because they're AFRAID of the TRUTH Attachments:

I just got back tonight from Daytona. Myself and three other guy's rode our bikes down last Sunday. Boy was it COLD when we left at 4:00 a.m. "28 degrees" in Morehead City NC. Out of the past several rallies I have attended I'd have to say this was one of the most crowded. Even the colder than normal temps couldn't keep people away. Too bad Mayor Toad and his Blue Hairs ran us out of his precious hole in the wall. Oh well, lookout Biketoberfest!!!!
