Local LE and ROT Rally

GneissGuy's Avatar
What does the local LE tend to do for the ROT Rally weekend?

1) Spend extra time harassing hobbyists to make a show of Austin being a "clean" city.
2) Spend less time harassing hobbyists to make the out of town cash cows feel more welcome.
3) Concentrate their efforts on security and real ROT related problems.
4) Harass the hobbyists because it's easier safer than dealing with real ROT related problems.

What about other big events? I know they do make noise about "cleaning up things" on some more "prestigious" events.

Whilst traversing the city on your faux Harley this weekend, if in the presence of LE, just be sure to not mention that you are a Hobbyist, and I believe all will be well.

I will be out there this weekend. This is my third ROT rally. Lots of fun, beer and babes... See yall out there, be safe on your iron horses!

Also I think LE is more concerned about protecting the money they will make off all those bikers in PI's and DWI's. I think they have their hands full with the bikers. Again be safe yall!
