Man miffed by dress code at street drags
Arizona - Kormos said event security asked him to leave for wearing Harley vest
KINGMAN - A Kingman man says he was asked to leave the drag races downtown over the weekend because of his motorcycle vest.
Sam Kormos, 43, said he was at the Napa Racing Kingman Street Drags VI event Saturday for about an hour when he was approached by several security guards and asked to leave because he was wearing a Harley-Davidson vest.
Kormos, who is not affiliated with a particular motorcycle club, said he had not been disruptive during the event, which he was attending with his wife. He said he was singled out and publicly humiliated simply for the way he was dressed.
"I've got everybody in the stands looking at me going 'I wonder what this guy has done?'" Kormos said.
After being escorted out of the event, Kormos said he was approached several minutes later and told he could return, but the entire experience left a bitter taste in his mouth. He feels the incident is an extension of the harassment of motorcyclists by law enforcement and now local businesses.
Security at the event was provided by the organizers. A call to their offices was not returned by press time.
Sgt. Bob Fisk with the Kingman Police Department was at the event and learned that the man had been asked to leave. He characterized the incident as a misunderstanding that Harley-Davidson was a motorcycle club rather than a brand.
"There was some confusion on the event organizers' part," Fisk said.
Fisk added that two people wearing Desert Road Riders patches were asked to leave because of the event's "no colors" policy as determined by organizers. Those two people returned to the event wearing different T-shirts.
The Gang and Immigration Intelligence Team Enforcement Missions, also known as GIITEM, have had a visible presence in the community for several months. Members of the task force and local law enforcement often park across the street from the weekly Bike Night event in which riders from various clubs get together and socialize.
The event moved from Chuy's on Stockton Hill to the Sonic Drive-In on Andy Devine two weeks ago, after several bars and restaurants around town instituted a "no colors" policy.
Kormos said riders are being run out of Kingman.
"You want to run me out of town? I'll spend my money somewhere else," Kormos said.

More For AZ Folks
From:[Abate of AZ] Kingman so-called colors ban poll
All,
Forwarded from the ABATE Mohave BOD Member. Mohave County is becoming especially discriminatory for all motorcyclists, regardless of club. If you have a center patch, you will be harassed and discriminated against. Bike Nights where charity functions are suffering and business are being threatened to establish so-called no-colors rule.
Please go to this link and vote.

No biker, motorcyclist or rider should be thrown under the bus, regardless of whether if you agree with the club or organization functions and objectives or not. This is a slippery-slope-issue that ABATE, MMA, ACMC and all other motorcyclists needs to watchdog and act upon. No motorcyclist is immune to this harassment, and this sort of action by law enforcement only feeds the ill-perceived notion of ignorant people who believe motorcyclists are bad people. I believe the Lobbyists are on top of this, so stay tuned.
