South Suburban Chapter Pulls Out of Chicago Motorcycle Show & Parts Expo in Tinley Park.
The board of directors of South Suburban ABATE of Illinois has decided to pull its Membership booth during the
upcoming Chicago Motorcycle Show & Parts Expo to be held at the Tinley Park Convention Center this
coming weekend (2/3-2/4, 2012). We were made aware that the bike show has been deemed
a "No Colors" event. According to the bike show website, the no colors ban comes from the
Tinley Park Convention Center management:
NO COLORS will be permitted at the show Per the Tinley Park Convention Center
As a motorcycle rights group with a NO PROFILING bill (HB 0930) recently introduced, it puts
us in a bit of an awkward position to be a paid vendor. We hope that in the future,
local businesses and law enforcement officials will engage us in an open dialogue
to address their concerns; instead of reacting to fears, born from negative stereotypes of riders.
Respectfully,
Eneyda Rodriguez- Public Relations Coordinator
ABATE of Illinois - South Suburban Chapter
