Again...nothing but negative. The groups that organize Friday the 13th have expenses to pay plus the donate back to the community. It is a community event. It has always been a fundraiser for dozens and dozens of local charities and organizations who host the event. This is nothing new.

I see how this can go two ways. One nobody goes and they find another location that cam handle this avent with space for it i don't know maybe a farm. Or two we the biking community shows up so mich that they can't handle all of the bikers either way. We orther suport this avent or find a new avent to sponser with our time and money.

The OPP want the event to end. So I find it ironic that people are refusing to come because of the OPP....that’s exactly what they are hoping for. Don’t put the blame on the community members and organizations of Port Dover. We have no control over the OPP. The only way the event ends is when people like you stop coming🤷‍♀️. And as far as making money goes....when tens of thousands of people show up, they need to eat, drink and be entertained....unfortunately that can’t be for free...

We will be there and going to have a great time!!

If this continues I give it less than 5 years and this event is done .

So yous are telling me that the ORIGINAL founders of this event created it for vendors and police??.Umm thats complete BS...They created it for Bikers to enjoy..a place to NOT be stereotyped..profiled etc..What is it now??..its nothing but a commercialized flea market full of weekenders..Children...and a place for LE to justify their ridiculous amount of tax payers money spent..Nothing else..Friday the 13th was not created to thicken the wallets for ANYONE..not Counsil..not OverSeas Knockoff vendors..Etc..It was perfect back in the day before all these added out of town Charities and Vendors were added because at that time ..YES the money was spent directly to the businesses that resided in the PD..not anymore ...Its the small businesses I feel sorry for really...Get rid of these out of town permits and let's the town businesses reap the money...But cant do that because its not really about helping the town or its residents..its a money pot with a million dirty fingers in it..And 81 just happens to be the ones that are being hung out to dry to take the spotlight off the bigger crooks and criminal groups in the Legal system..Like it or not.

I don't know...In my opinion sure it's a place to view some nice bikes..but that's it!..Venders line the whole venue and cause way to much congestion.Most of these venders are from out of town and come here just to sell their knock off junk..Its sad really...Why are there no things for bikers to do?..wifey hotdog grab..relay race..games?...All it is ,is...come to Dover and spend your money..It should be ..come to dover and have some fun!

I go there as I like to buy support gear but since they are not allowed there I don’t go. I own a bike and there are Kentucky of places I can go .Port Dover is dying . Ipperwash is the new go to destination.

Put a fork into Port Dover It is done Thanks to your town council bowing down to the OPP

Raising budgets for O.P.P. I wonder what the the founding table of guys that got together every 13th would feel about O.P.P’s hovering over they’re table.

I stopped going 16 years ago when the last time I did go the OPP where pulling people off to the side for what ever reason. Also if you have gone in the past 20 years, it’s the same as the years before. I prefer to go to Port Dover when all the hoopla is not there, a much nicer ride and the wait times and prices are much shorter and less $. 😎👍

I will not be attending this event out of concern for my own safety. LE walking around in tactical gear, with assault weapons on edge. All it going to take is some fire crackers going off to send them into a possible frenzy. I do not want to be collateral damage. Too many people in a confined space. Of course they will investigate themselves and find they did nothing wrong. I will also not attend any event that discriminates against legitimate business owners and the customers who buy their products.

When are these shirts available for sale TIA

Nope notta and never again supporting PD13, when police need to show excessive force carrying automatic weapons is very intimidating, time for Port Dover to rethink their mindset and stop the discrimination of 1%er clubs, or lose the event entirely. People were more afraid of the cops then they were the bikers.

What don't people get? If you don't like what the OPP are doing or the county is doing - COMPLAIN TO THEM. There is NOTHING that volunteers can do, this page is run by the VOLUNTEERS of the event. If you feel that an OPP officer has targeted you without cause, complain here: www.oiprd.on.ca/complaints/ If you feel you don't like the OPP presence get in touch with the OPP: www.opp.ca/index.php?id=125&lng=en - you don't even need to leave your computer as you can submit a complaint online right at the bottom of the page. If your issue is with the county of Norfolk: www.norfolkcounty.ca/contact/ Stop trolling the event (and this page) and get off your rear ends and actually do something productive towards changing things if you don't like it - but if you continue to moan and complain on here you're not actually doing anything to change what you don't like, you're just being a troll. I spend a huge amount of my time volunteering with events (including PAN AM Games, Invictus Games, IIHF Hockey, Wasage Beach Motorcycle Rally, and various other rallies and races) - volunteers can do nothing to make change; we're informed of how things are run - period, end of story.

How can it be wrong for the community to make money? Thousands of people and motorbikes converge on their little town and they shouldn't make a profit from it? That's just absurd. Anyone that is complaining that the community makes money is just selfish. We will be there, we will spend money and we will not complain that the community made a profit from us converging on their Little town. My thanks to the people of Port Dover and surrounding area for allowing us to take over your town.

Lucan baconfest had a huge crowd an the swat team wasn't walking around trying to intimidate the people!! Friday 13th is a waste of time now !! It's now all about the $$$$$$.

Dover gets what they deserve .....

That’s All Carry On

Nope not attending...boycotting it cause of the discrimination from the cops

www.simcoereformer.ca/news/local-news/hells-merchandise-barred-from-friday-13th

And the biggest problem is the Discrimination against bikers/MCs, profiling, freedom of association, not allowing vendor permits to certain groups! Pathetic. In a closed meeting the government police strong armed the town council and they caved. On what type of merchandise can be worn or sold. Complete Nazi state. Then to be threatened with trespass and forcefully removed if need be. Add the OPP military intimidation tactics, I don't blame people for boycotting this event. Feel terrible for some of the local businesses and vendors who rely on this as a major revenue source to survive. Now it's their obligation to vote in the right political proponents to make this event relevant to the biker community again. Time will tell, but social media is certainly helping making the masses aware of this shit show.

So much negativity?! Why is it if one person’s offended by something...others have to join the bandwagon?! You don’t like going...fine! No one’s forcing you to go?! Everyone is entitled to their opinion...whether right or wrong...those who go, will enjoy it!! Those who don’t...won’t miss it!

sorry we will not be there , get a shirt every year , to much drama this year !!
