The only thing good about it is the location of the rides, which I have anyways.

It's not a sportbike event really anyway. It's a lot cruisers and full dressers. It's more geared to that crowd.
Even if it's lame, it's alarming how much the economy has impacted motorcycling. Between this, Kawasaki pulling/attempting to pull out of MotoGP, and the Red Bull Cup (http://www.roadracingworld.com/news/...&article=35345)... that's a lof of cancellations in a year. Well, so far this year.
