However, I have become disenchanted with a portion of the membership that have since taken to complain about the rally, the lay me down GS motoryclist, the volunteers, the vendors and whatever else annoyed them.
The organizers, volunteers, the seminar presenters and vendors as well as the local Burlingtonites did an excellent job of accommodating us. The weekend was a bargain and lots of fun, as well as educational. I appreciated what everyone did to make it a successful event. I know that many hours, unpaid hours of planning and work went into making the weekend successful. I wish everyone would "enjoy the moment" rather than dwell on their peeves. There is always room for constructive criticism, but the vindictiveness that has surfaced is not deserved by the people who worked hard and did their best to have this event succeed.
I would like to thank everyone involved in making the Burlington weekend a reality. I think that more postive rally comments would ensure that this annual event continues.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, and comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.--Theodore Roosevelt

Cant have the good without the bad.
If we don't complain then the ones who do wrong or make a mistake would never learn from it, it gives the ones who do wrong the ability to say its ok cuz they know no one will complain.
Sorry cant have one without the other.
Keeps everyone on their toes, if my customers didn't complain I would not know what I am doing wrong, I want them to complain if they have a complaint or even if they don't have a valid complaint, helps me provide the best business for them.
Emoto said:That's right! I AM COMPLAINING!!!
About what, you ask? Well... um... not about anything in particular. I mean, I had a great time at the rally, met a lot of cool people, loved the bands.
No, I just want to complain in general. Seems to be the thing to do around here.

Statdawg said:I was south. However,I like that north of Port Jervis area. Callicoon is a breakfast stop about three times a year. The town is about 1.5-2 hour drive from home. Nice roads in Wayne County, Pa.. We have to complain on this thread.
