NEW HAVEN, CT — At last year's motorcycle event, around 10,000 people showed up in New Haven and police said that at best it was "disruptive" and at worst, was both dangerous and chaotic.
Now, the city and police are bracing for thousands of bikers and aficionados to turn out this weekend on Forbes Avenue, despite the fact that the exhibition is illegal.
But organizers from EastCoastin'say that it's happening anyway and that they will not cancel.
"No matter what we say people are gonna come. It is what it is at this point," representatives of EastCoastin' said in a media event, after the police held their own saying that the rally that will include motorcyclists from across the country is prohibited.
"It's too late," EastCoastin' representatives Gabriel Canestri and Sal Fusco said. "People are coming."
Don't be an asshole smoking out the cop cars and the officers cause they are gonna be all over the place they have a zero tolerance, Especially for off road bikes..SO IT HAS TO BE STREET LEGAL ONLY (or At least looking)..."

I have a Harley Electra glide and a Honda 230 Duel purpose.
I ride my Harley on long rides and the Honda on fun back roads and dirt,
The Harley is like a big strong old man and the Honda is a fun ride at an amusement park.
I love em both.
Ride safe and watch out for blue haired old ladies who can’t see ya coming
New Haven— hermetically sealed bell jar for the privileged, home of the Yalie, and god knows what other kind of mutant hothouse orchid.
Why do I find myself Sympathetic to the bikers? This is what free people look like. Yeah. Freedom is messy sometimes.
These bikers are stunt bikers.
They pull wheelies and do burnouts, etc.
I don’t care about their vaccine status. Get a permit or stay home.
If they were black bikers would that make them less offensive? Really need to know. Just make them put on blackface if they aren’t black already.
See? Problem solved. No one got hurt feelings.
Yup. Virginia City NV.
That is a very young Lee Marvin on the left.
Thousands of bikers spent the week here in mid-Missouri for “Bikefest” last week.
No problems. No arrests.
You need a permit to ride on public roads?
And the other guy went on to become a well known crime boss
and renowned chef Carmine Sabatini!
I heard of it on the news. I was in SE Asia at the time.
It must have been “something” as it was on AFRTS radio.
A road roach is an individual or a group of individuals that ride motorcycle(s) individually or in groups that swarm in and out of traffic, drive recklessly, do “stunts” and basically give bikers, riders a bad rep.
Usually urban based crotch rocket squids.
Congrats!
Break a leg.
Should be fun. Well, except for parking. :-{
Thanks for that explanation; I’ve seen enough of these bikers around.
Not saying I’m going. (Not saying I’m NOT going either. heh heh)
