Definitely a bunch of scofflaw yahoos. It looks like they had removed their license plates. I'm surprised that the cops didn't call for a roadblock or air support.



"In science it often happens that scientists say, 'You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken,' and then they would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics or religion." (1987) -- Carl Sagan

This is the kind of thing that gave the Hell's Angels a bad name. It's their Turf.
I would expect an eventual Rumble, but the average Hell's Angel is more concerned with Medicare these days.

If motorcyclists want to be idiots, fine. But don't involve other vehicles or make other drivers see you kill yourself.

I guess when everybody has GoPro cameras the urge to share, what may be their undoing, is irresistible. "That's a SICK move man. Nobody has EVER done a wheelie before!"

Screwing with someone carrying a gun isn't a choice I'd make, this cop was smart. After being emboldened by this, (and they will be) the next one they run into may turn out to be not be the brightest badge on the road.

He should have tasered one of the bikes?

or a drone.
Give it a few years and he'll have the ability to call one in.

Wouldn't have worked, they would have acquired too many targets to be effective.

Not sure why he didn't call for backup and have a major road block set up. Could have taken all the GoPro's in as evidence. Probably enough violations that these idiots would have lost their licenses for years.

You may say it is wrong to stereotype, but a-hole bikers like this are why most people hate all motorcyclists.

Good for them. If they would have stopped the cop would have beat them, put them in a chokehold or simply shot them.

People who hate all motorcyclists because of the few a-holes like this are stereotyping. Yes, it is wrong to stereotype.

But that's how the mind works. We have to use our intellect to thwart it. Some people are better at it than others.

Unfortunately, their organs may not be fit for donation even before an accident.

When I crashed my bike into a woman who ran a stop sign, I was told by the E-Room doc that he called them donorcycles. I then told him to keep the hell away from me, cuz I'm still using my parts.

These wheelie guys are complete idiots, IMO. Find them, and penalize their stupidity.

A tenant of racism, too.

Not much can be done. Not enough motor cops to follow every one, and since most use H-Ds, they would keep up. At least with BMWs and Hondas, they might have stood a chance.

Air support would help them get one guy, assuming it's even available. The most negligent violator and/or the cameraman would be my choice.

This is probably going to be a common event, at least for a while.


This is the kind of thing that gave the Hell's Angels a bad name. It's their Turf.

That was early days. They've reformed, sticking to drugs, guns, murder, and extortion. Motorists are very rarely endangered, and HAs rarely allow those types of riders to associate with them publicly.






I am that Masked Man.

All you can do, is all you can do.

There’s trouble — it's time to play the sound of my people.

Your boos mean nothing to me, I've seen what you cheer for.

Insisting on your rights without acknowledging your responsibilities isn’t freedom, it’s adolescence.

I've been to the edge of the map, and there be monsters.

We are a government of laws, not men.

Everybody counts or nobody counts.

When a good man is hurt,
all who would be called good
must suffer with him.

You and I have memories longer than the road that stretches out ahead.

There is no safety for honest men except
by believing all possible evil of evil men.

We don’t do focus groups. They just ensure that you don’t offend anyone, and produce bland inoffensive products. —Sir Jonathan Ive

An armed society is a polite society.
And hope is a lousy defense.

You make me pull, I'll put you down.

I *love* SIGs. It's Glocks I hate.
