They came in exhausted when they closed at 6:00PM and were still pleasant. Most of the vendors could not afford and/or didn't have a second shift to handle the evenings since most were small operations. There would have been more complaints if the vendors opened late so they would have the energy to stay open late.
More toilet paper.
While I had a great time at the rally overall, a couple of things DID kinda grind me. We camped in the Sherpa area, always great.
It probably wouldn't hurt you to put the side stand down and walk the 500 feet to the showers. I can't remember [the last time] I saw so many riders who haven't seen their belt buckle in 25 years. Geez, go on a diet (and avoid the sausage gravy and biscuits)!

Oh yea, and when I had about 24 tents filled Wed night, somehow I went through over 250 cups of coffee. I hate coffee poachers!!!
Ted -- I was one of those coffee poachers Thursday morning. Sorry! We were told there would be free coffee but not where it could be found, so when we wandered around trying to get the lay of the land and saw a line for coffee we naturally joined in.
Let me make it up to you. I work for a gourmet coffee roaster in Vermont. PM me a shipping address and I'll send some high test that will blow your socks off!

That and a cigar vendor - hmmmm (sees way of financing trip to Redmond next year!)
I often do a key word search on "Sherpa" on this forum.
Imagine my surprise when it shows up in a thread titled "The Rally Sucked"
Anyway, yes, the portajohns near the Sherpa camp did need cleaning more often. There were five units for over 200 Sherpa campers (plus other folks camping in tents in the RV area). The units ran out of toilet paper. They should have been addressed (pumped out, tp replaced, etc) on a daily basis. I think they showed every two days.

Was a busy rally, but worth it to hear so many compliments
OMG,Ted..I am appalled that we pigs did so much harm in terms of gallons!! I did "visit" Sherpa Central in my Saturday morning haze and visited with the rest of your satisfied customers, only after downing a cup realised my err, and knew you wouldn't want it back.... I confess, I did pour a short one!! I will make it up to you somehow!! I think I will go the Sherpa route, and hotel to and from Oregon....Would that be a place to start? When do you start taking reservations?
If the numbers are going to be in the 8,000 area, we might should consider larger fairgrounds.
