If you were going to attend a bike rally, what type of vendors would you want to see there? Doing an informal survey to help out a friend who sits on a planning committee for a Rally being held next year.
A vendor that actually has custom parts there at rally. Front fenders, stretched bags, tank extensions, etc .. Too many hot leather booths, at least down south here Ar, Tn,Fl, etc
a) Vendors that sell stuff that I could take home with me on the bike. i.e. clothing, small parts for the bike, or parts I could install right there and take them home that way.
b) Vendors that sell bigger stuff and would ship it, but they would have to be "name" vendors. I wouldn't feel comfortable giving cash to an unknown who was then supposed to ship it to me. UNLESS they took a credit card for payment so I would have recourse if I got stiffed.
