The reality is that Bike Week brings in many millions of dollars to the
local economy. It draws about half a million bikers and wannabees to
the local area for an entire week. We can't compete with those numbers
but It's hard to understand how there was NO local TV coverage of a
national event like this. JMHO

OK, that explains a lot. I've never been to Florida and so had no idea
what Bike Week might be - in fact I thought it must have been some local
cycling promotion.

However, there remains one relevant question: did anybody tell the local
media that the Seniors was on?

Our club's experience is that the local TV and/or paper generally ignore
us, but will usually cover stories we tell them about provided they're
something that interests folks outside the aviation community.
