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 forget stoppies!
About 3 1/2 hours south of Daytona Beach.
500,000 bikers come each year at least.
Few problems other than drunken fools.
Black fest in Daytona and many shops close rather than face the theft, destruction and debouchery,
Just saying.
Ride my Electra glide to Bike week or Octoberfest and NEVER a problem cept weather.
Well, I’m glad you survived all they threw at you back in those days, and glad you’re still on hand.
