Strange that the articles call the first bike week "Harley Week". Having relatives that attend regularly, I hear that this is not just a HD event at all. I grew up in NC and did have the misfortune of working near MB during BBWeek when I was younger and its quite a different crowd. The crowd that the local govnt is aiming at is the crotch rocket, lewd in public, loud music, theft crowd. Its far different than the typical "white" biker crowd. Likely its a minority (of the crowd) that's causing problems and the police have a hard time aiming at those few. Galveston has the same problem and their businesses close b/c of this too. I think it would be humorous to have naacp representatives standing on the strand, giving live reports about the people they are defending while their bikes roll by in the background. That would take some steam out of the lawyers engines!
