Who's NOT going to Americade 6/7~12 and have two thumbs?

Sure get rid of a 25 year old + tradition that is labeled “Worlds largest motorcycle touring rally” and 50,000 visitors to town of LG, great idea :facepalm

2007 figures again showed that Americade Week was the biggest week of business for the Lake George Region resort community, and the biggest single boost to the local economy. Local merchants welcome these smiling motorcyclists not only for the economic boost they provide, but also because of the many lasting friendships which have been developed with Americaders from around the world. Americade also works hard to be a Good Neighbor.[3]

? From whose perspective? The decision to move comes from the founder of the event. If LG wants to keep it there, they can sweeten the deal.

The decision to move comes from an unjustified price racking.

If sweetening the deal is asking for double the price from the year prior… they sure as hell are swinging in the right direction.

Honestly What the hell are all the “hidden costs” I dont understand here? The store, parking lots and everything else are open every day, other than more staff and more security… where the hell is the extra costs to the city?

fuck, if that event does so much good, shity places should be bidding on asking it to come to their town! not charging them.

‘Unjustified price racking’? Americade is a business, it exists to make money. They have been tight on funds for a few years, spoke to Bill himself about it and his advertising budget last yr. He’ll do whatever makes the most money.

I pretty sure that’s what the other towns are doing now.

The money events like that bring in is hard to pass up, and a vacation town such as LG enjoyed it for years. You can bet that they will feel it if Americade leaves.

I’ve read that Killington, VT has been flashing all kinds of natural DD incentive boobies at Americade to have them move the event there. Speculation is it is close to a done deal.

If you look at the DEC’s permit fee in that article, it almost looks like they are telling Americade to GTFO of NY…

It ends Saturday… Unfortionately we won’t make it :frowning:

If I can get my new WG spring in ill be doing the same

Im hopefully going atleast Saturday and I dont give a fuck about the bikes.

LG definately does suck without the events like Americade and the Adirondack Nationals. I never go there unless something big is happening because its boring and overpriced up there.

Will be there…

I will be going with camera in hand to capture said redneck activities.

The Killington event needs help, any action Vermont gets would be good. VT sucks for shit to do. There is plenty of room for more bikes and parking at Killington, not to mention its out of the way and not in direct traffic on Route 9. But the event seems more fitting at Lake George, to me anyway.

Reminds me of how they threaten AM-JAM every year in my shit town…

Gonna rain

Going tomorrow day w/ bike, and probably sat night w/o bike.

I was up there earlier this week with the gf and the dog, as usual there was plenty of bikes but not as many as I remember there being in the past during the week. Once the weekend strolls around though Im sure it will be an absolute circus, even if a lot less bikers didnt show up itd still be so crowded itd probably be hard to tell the difference.

weather was looking good for Saturday all week in the paper but now I saw that its supposed to rain all day Saturday now.

Fuck. I wanted to watch the drunken shenanigans and see titties.

PJB

Rain=wet t-shirt contests!

See you bitches tomorrow up there

So don’t be a fucking spectator your whole life for once and come to Boston with me. LOL, you’d literally have the best time of your life if you drank with me once.
