First, thanks to everyone who invited newbies such as myself on any recent rides.
I just read Michaels' post about the Tortilla Flat ride. Too late now, huh?
I am less anxious to go on early morning rides anyways.
I am more of a late morning/afternoon rider and may not fit in with most of you early-bird's riding schedule.
So please don't take any offense if you haven't seen me on any rides so far.
Now for what pissed me off.
I did end up riding alone to Scottsdale this afternoon for that big so-called grand opening event. I almost didn't go at all, because I was tired, but I figured I'll ride up from Mesa and check out the fun.
Was anyone up their in the morning? Was there anything there? Because I got their around 1:30 and there was NOTHING, NOTHING going on except a couple vendors and people browsing around.
1:30 in the afternoon and the food is gone and nothing is happenimg for a event lasting til 5pm.
No bikini wash, No stunt rider, no food, no burgers or hot dogs you expect at that time of day. All that was left was some chips and salsa and a few cans of pop and bottles of water. Oh yeah, there was a popcorn machine......yaay.
Not much seemed to be on sale as far as merchandise. Most everything was at the normal high retail price. I didn't go their for a $91 Ducat shirt.
A grand opening event that doesn't even last through the afternoon??? I don't get it.
This was a huge waste of my time. So I am somewhat irratated now wondering if they even had what they advertised for their grand opening or just a cheap ass stunt to get people to visit their new store.
Obviously a great sign that this store won't last for long if this is their business practice.
There was more action going on at Hacienda HD and that isn't saying much.
