CANADA - Sturgis North catches eye of Vernon RCMP


OFF THE WIRE
Sturgis North catches eye of Vernon RCMP
The return of a popular motorcycle rally and music festival in the North Okanagan has caught the eye of RCMP.
Last summer, 40,000 bikers, including some with gxxg affiliations, descended on Salmon Arm for Sturgis North.
The first Sturgis North event is believed to have lost money and divided residents in the small community.
This July, the promoter wants to move the event to the Motoplex Speedway in Spallumcheen.
If the location is confirmed for Sturgis North, Vernon RCMP spokesman Gord Molendyk says police hope to learn some lessons from last year.
Molendyk says RCMP will speak with organizers to determine what issues may arise.
