A motorcycle festival was canceled in Grayskake Illinois Sunday because Mayer Timothy Perry said State Police and a regional gang task force got word Friday that members of the rival Outlaws and Hell's Lovers were going to have a showdown at the gathering.
Late Friday Perry decided to pull the permit after his police chief Larry Herzig told him public safety could not be guaranteed without adding 20 more officers to the fairgrounds.
That explanation didn't sit well with Ironhorse organizer Mark Khayat. He said "It almost looks like profiling to me" I can't imagine why this would happen.
It is said that at least 35,000 people were to show up to this festival. The bikers that did show up from all areas of the US did not know the gathering was called off until they pulled into the fairgrounds.
At the time of this writing Biker Joe has not heard a word that the disappointed bikers started a riot or looted stores and businesses. They just took it on the cheek, hit the open road determined to make the best of it.
