The daredevil motorcycle group was forced to hit pause on its upcoming shows for the Rise of the Demons World Tour after online threats were directed towards the promoter, riders and spectators.
Due to arrive this Saturday, Wagga fans were just one of four venues to be disappointed - and awaiting answers from Crusty Demons, who handed the matter over to the police.

A Complete Events Group spokeswoman said they are communicating with each ticket holder, who should have an update by about Thursday next week.
She said there will be an option to use the ticket on a rescheduled date, otherwise the ticket holder could go through a refund process.
"They will be given another update on what the reschedule show maybe and if they would like to have their ticket honored for that date or if they prefer to go through the refund process," she said.
"In terms of what the promoter is intending (with full-refunds), I am sure everything will be made clear once they can put out their next announcement."
However there will not be another update until the police investigation has been finalised, according to the spokeswoman.
"It was keyboard warriors at their best and unfortunately a small handful of people ruined it for everyone else because these threats have to be taken seriously ...the safety has to come first not only for the riders, but the patrons," she said.
The threats came after the Crusty Demons' Sydney show in August where promoters had to pull the plug half-way through the show due to extreme weather.
"We understand people had traveled, there were families, it was a freezing cold night and unfortunately there were a lot of contributing factors outside our control," she said.
"There were quite a few disgruntled fans from this show, but what the riders do is dangerous enough - throw in high speed winds and you are looking at a disaster and that is not an option."
The spokeswoman said the riders are disappointed that the tour has been paused, but they are hopeful that they can make it up to fans once the shows are rescheduled.
