  Los Banos security tight for biker gathering

LOS BANOS, Calif.?Local law enforcement agencies are stepping up security for a motorcycle gathering in Los Banos this weekend, following a dustup two weeks ago between rival gangs.
The rally at the Los Banos Fairgrounds is taking place just 30 miles from Hollister. More than 100,000 motorcyclists are expected to converge there for the town's commemoration of the 1947 biker invasion that inspired the Marlon Brando movie "The Wild Ones."

On June 28, a member of the Hells Angels was arrested after a fight with the rival Mongols at a "stop the violence" rally at Pacheco Park. The groups have been feuding since a 2002 fight in Laughlin, Nev., left three bikers dead.

The Los Banos police chief says 60 to 70 officers from several agencies will be on patrol during the three-day event
