I just saw this on CDA Night Out Facebook page re: this weekend’s 2010 Idaho State HOG Rally by the Lake. Quoth: “Come and enjoy an expanded agenda, spanning four days, filled with great rides, great people, a great dealership and, most of all, great riders looking for fun. Friday evening we will travel ‘parade-style’ through Coeur d’Alene to Sherman Avenue, Coeur d’Alene’s main street. Feel free to park in the middle of the street because it is blocked off just for us. The business community is rolling out the red carpet to welcome you to Coeur d’Alene. Take part in the Walking Poker Run and then get the party started with live music, dancing, hourly 50/50 draws and many other giveaways.” (AP file photo of 70th Annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in the Black Hills of South Dakota.)

Question: Are you comfortable re: turning over the downtown to Harley-Davidson riders in 75 minutes?
