It's an old topic but the loud bikes end up costing the rest of us our liberties. More and more towns banning motorcycles so that those that desperately need to be heard will be. The folks that need that so attention don't want to hear that, though...
Anyway...I went through two Winter Olympic site this summer, Whistler and Calgary. Whistler was beautiful. Not many people around. Beautiful facilities with bears wandering around.
I was shocked by Calgary. A WalMart near the ski jump. Most of the venues next to the highway. Crappy little fast food joints and other garbage alongside the Olympic venues. Calgary was everything Whistler was not.
Very disappointing. I won't be returning to Calgary.
