Antique Motorcycle Association asks Tinley Park to allow motorcycles at cruise night; staff to coordinate follow-up meeting
Summary
A representative of the Prairie Chapter of the Antique Motorcycle Association requested permission for antique motorcycles to participate in Tinley Park's cruise night; village staff were asked to follow up to coordinate details with event organizers.
At the Committee of the Whole meeting, Steve Bunk, representing the Prairie Chapter of the Antique Motorcycle Association, asked the village to allow antique motorcycles to participate in an upcoming cruise night.
Bunk said the group would seek a one-time exception and that its members display historically significant motorcycles, including models from 1912, 1916 and a 1936 machine. He acknowledged the cruise night is generally for cars and said the chapter would coordinate with the recognized event organizer (referred to in the transcript as BFW).
President Goff directed staff to collect contact information and arrange a meeting. The transcript records that Lisa Valley (back-of-room staff) was asked to take Bunk's information and set up a meeting between the village manager, the police chief and the marketing director to discuss logistics and coordination. No formal decision was made during the public-comment period; the village asked staff to follow up.
Bunk invited trustees and residents to see the group's show (the Cast Iron Reunion in Cicero) for examples of the motorcycles. The request will be subject to coordination with event organizers and village staff review of logistics, safety and event rules before any exception is granted.
