Hupy and Abraham, S.C. and Northeast Region A.B.A.T.E. of Illinois work together to fight biker discrimination– The much anticipated Ironhorse Roundup was scheduled for the first weekend of May, and as many as 30,000 people were expected. That is until the Mayor of Grayslake pulled the permit for the event, based on police intelligence reports. The controversy rages on; was this a safety issue or biker discrimination?
Attorney Pete Naylor, of Hupy and Abraham, S.C. represents the organizer of the event, Mark Khayat, and they are discussing legal options at this time. Meanwhile, Naylor attended and spoke at a special meeting on May 6th in Grayslake, attended by many area bikers including Hupy and Abraham,S.C. client Dave White and Wisconsin BOLT member, Mike Greenwald. Below is a Google News Alert link to the article on the special meeting. As this story develops, we will keep you posted by email.

MIC TO PERFORM NOISE TESTS– Interested to hear about D & D, I have been waiting and hoping some aftermarket exhaust guys and custom builders would get excited about the scientific roadside test the MIC has developed and is about to unveil to all State Law enforcement with recommendations for stock sound levels only, that hits every pipe maker there is, even the ones that claim they are somewhat quieter, still not as quiet as stock as the MIC will be pushing so where would this leave them, unable to legally sell a product, can anyone recall the sting of the CARB fines.

The 2007 Kids & Chrome event, bringing together over 400 motorcycle enthusiasts, industry professionals and celebrities from the Black Hills community, across the nation and around the globe to ?Rally for a Reason?, raised over $100,000.00 in contributions, gifting $70,000.00 to the Children?s Home Society and $30,000 to the Sturgis Motorcycle Museum.
