It's funny that no one other than John sees the obvious parallels to Bike Week. This is a bunch of guys doing something slightly wild, free, kind of cool and fun, if that's your particular thing. Also similar to Bike Week--others are inconvenienced/irked, and the danger is obvious.

And of course, each has an excuse for the unpleasant aspects. For Bike Week, we ignore the noise and annual deaths by saying it's good for business. For the race we have a charity fig leaf.
