Ironhorse Roundup Bike Show Cancelled for MC Rumble

Daryl at Biker-Events blogs that the Ironhorse Roundup Bike Show in Grayslake, IL was cancelled by the police and mayor, claiming that they received a tip that two rival motorcycle clubs were planning a "rumble" there...

Those who did show up, were disappointed to find that the show was cancelled.

Apparently, no rumble took place.

The article goes on to say that the mayor was trying to prevent what happened in Laughlin, NV in 2002. But that fight wasn't planned, it just materialized on its own.

So what do you folks think? Did the mayor simply want to do away with any kind of motorcycle events in town, or was this a real threat?

How many motorcycle clubs do you know of that schedule their "rumbles", and schedule them in in the middle of crowded area, where police and security are all over the place?

  • It was discrimination and the officials in Grayslake got "played".
    The police did not need to stop all the motorcyclists for the rest of the day asking for all sorts of identification and information.

  • It's the same old crap tht's happened in the Carolinas, and other areas. I think some of these people watch too many late night "B" movies and listen to too many "informed, unnamed" sources.
