Reno Rain Does Dampen Street Vibrations

Although the Reno Gazette Journal declared "Rain Doesn't Wash Out Street Vibrations" the word from Virginia City was just the opposite. A few bar owners said they did only 10% of the business they did last year, blaming the inclement weather for keeping bikers from going up the hill.

But then the RGJ had fun with the event all week with articles on how to be a biker, how to talk like a biker and the requisite biker chicks.

And while bikers were still impressed with the event, that wasn't a feeling shared by everyone.
