Zorba's Bike Night

Despite the attempt to "Crack Down" by local law enforcement, Motorcycle Rider gatherings at Zorba's Burgers Continue. Zorba's Burgers located at 450 Iowa Avenue. in Riverside, Ca has grown to become the number one spot for all motorcycle enthusiasts. Local authorities were granted additional funds within their budget to strictly "crack down " on such events within the Inland empire. On a typical Tuesday night you can expect to see upwards of 200 motorcyclists swamping the Zorba's Burgers parking lot. Kirkland Fordham a rider and a participant of zorba's bike night stated " I don't see how this is an unlawful gathering. Motorcycle clubs have been known for providing charity events along with other good deeds through out the neighborhoods. Zorbas is just a great place to meet fellow riders, check out some of the nicest motorcycles and get some great food."

I have personally attended this event and had a chance to talk with several of the riders who basically all said the same thing. "Great people Great Bikes Great Food". I also had the chance to talk with an officer that was patrolling the area to find out what exactly they are "cracking down on" and was told "Its not so much the gathering its self the owners of Zorba's burgers do a pretty good job of keeping the crowd inline. The problem is after the night is over many of them forward over to what is known as a stunt spot. Here they participate in illegal street racing as well as reckless stunts on their motorcycles. " Its seems that if local authorities want to kill the tree they have to start at the root.
