Hundreds of motorcycles lined both sides of J Street in front of the Convention Center on Saturday while their owners attended the annual Sacramento stop of the Easyriders Bike Show Tour. Although the rain Sunday reduced the number of bikes parked on the streets, attendance at the two-day event was as good as or better than last year, said event manager Kari Roben. Inside the Convention Center, the main floor was full of exhibitors and vendors displaying custom motorcycles and related goods ... malthous HonestAbe comment-21104 2010-01-22T17:38:37Z 2010-01-22T17:38:37Z It is a dull mind indeed that belittles the interests of others; moreover, an incurious mind is a fertile ground for the seeds of ignorance.

I stopped here: "clowns roamed the exhibit floor, entertaining young and old alike."

I took the liberty to go back over your comment history and it appears as though you have never posted a positive comment. It begs the question, why do you waste your time reading what you have variously termed, "retarded," "horribly written" and "boring" (twice) stories? Surely you have something better to do with your time. Coming in at a little less than 800 words, it should take the average reader no more than a few minutes to read this story and, like any good news story, the gist of the event can be found within the first two or three sentences. Those who are interested, i.e. those who are into motorcycles, interested in civic events or are looking for economic indicators, might find themselves compelled to read further. I am flattered, however, that you took the time to read my “too long” and “really boring” story - even more so that you bothered to comment on it. Those precious few minutes of your time are now forever mine. Thank you, Michael Althouse Michael Althouse 2010-01-20T02:58:46Z JoshFernandez comment-20845 2010-01-19T22:45:56Z 2010-01-19T22:45:56Z Why does Sac Press always print stories that are too long and really boring?

I won't divulge numbers, but what we've proved now two years in a row, is that we can increase attendance without much help from mainstream media. Gotta love it. Also, this year, the show expanded from only showcasing V-Twins to showcasing motorcycles in general, so if you went, that would explain some of the bikes that you didn't see last year.
