The again* comment was more from my experience in the Import/Car section, as some of you may have heard me refer to it as the spoiled brat club.

I honestly didn't want to write a reply to this, but it's bothering me so much so I might as well just get it out there.
The reason the meets are infrequent is the weather. I can't control this. If it sucks, the meets don't happen. If it's nice, why not. Ivanna and I take the time to set up something for the community. It does not benefit us at all but it's nice to meet new people that share common interests.
If you want to meet bike people, talk about bikes and how fast you can ride up Squamish, don't bother coming here. Personally, I could care less about anything to do with motorcycles. I'd rather debate about our housing market, business, and people driving over the curb at the exit to superstore.
It honestly feels like there is no appreciation at all from you. If you don't want to come because it's boring, then don't come. The meets will go on. Life will go on. There is no need to tell people that haven't been to the meet that it's boring or there is an elitist vibe. It's actually the totally opposite. I don't even know what an elitist vibe is to be very honest.
Since I started the meets, this feels like a personally attack on me. I own and operate 3 businesses. My life is work. I live and breathe work. So when I take some time out of my busy schedule to do something for the community, it's not good enough ?? Trust me, I have better things to do with my time (making money)
Instead of bitching about how shitty my meet is, how about you plan these weekly meets at your shop, where you offer free / discounted things to people you don't know?
Ok I'm done, good night
