Baltimore

Sorry if it's a repost.
I saw this vid on another forum and thought it was crazy. I know Baltimore is pretty rough but I couldn't imagine cops letting this happen in Boston or Providence.
The mob of them on the freeway and coming down the hill is nuts.
I mean is this shit becoming common?

Um, at the risk of sounding stupid - are there any white people in Baltimore?

Wow thats great!They do it in philly just not as big.You see alot during the greek festival.I wonder how many of them are stolen?

At one point they say that they are considering building a track for them to use.
I hate to say it but I think that will be a big waste of time and money.
I really don't see getting all of them in one place and it being productive.

Let's not generalize here. It's very possible that they are all hard working, tax paying, and voting members of their community.

"Anytime you wanna see me on this bumblebee?!"

I laughed then I saw little half pint climb on the 250 ready to get busy.

"Its all love"? :confused: What? I got to deal with idiot rough riderz now I got to deal with 40 bubba stewarts all dressed up like they walked straight of the video, but ridden 90's, 125'z and 2fittiez... flying down the 405- weak.
All that stuff is so messed up. Looked super fun, but those guys are shitheads, and like said before we the legit riders will get handled for it.

:rantI wish I had something clever to say, but the blatant disregard is shocking. No gear, helmets, blinkers, or plates. SURE give the 250 to an 11yr old for a spin around the block. But don't worry, it is all about having a good time. Great idea, go spend some taxpayer $$ for a dirt track for them, beause they are going to trailer their bikes to it. What is going on up there? I don't think you could get away with that in THIS town. :no

Laws this Laws that....This country is littered with laws to protect people. It causes more suppresion then it does law abiding citizens.

I have to disagree. We have a crap load of laws because a crap load of people make dumb decisions that make innocent people suffer the consequences. If adults would act like adults and not overgrown children then this country wouldn't have to be "littered with laws".

You think this country has alot of laws? I see you haven't been to another country on this planet (especially overseas).

This is normal in other countries where motorcycle culture is much prevalent. Not surprising is that these countries also possess better riders and drivers than America. Also not surprising is that some of these countries possess higher speed limits per miles than America and have less accidents per mile than America.

What is appalling about this is not the video in and of itself, it is the responses and ill wishes towards other people. That is disgusting.

I agree. That sounds sane and thorough.

Personally, I don't care if they are Black, White, Green, Yellow, Asian, Mexican, Jewish, Arab, Aliens, or whatever. The shit they are doing is a blatant dis-regard for the law, their safety and the safety of others. I also could give a Rat's Ass about what people in other countries do, as posted by someone else. Non-riders will group these people in with all us other motorcyclist and that pisses me off. Yes, some of them can ride, but city streets are not the place for this type of riding.
I hope mine wasn't taken that way because it was not meant that way.
Don't care the color, just the stupidity, and how it ends up screw the rest of us riders.

6. Just commenting on what I got from some of the posts. The point I was trying to get across was why couldn't they be called squids like they would've been on other threads? Why was all the negative sterotypes associated those who live in the inner city brought out?
These guys are worse then most squids I have seen or heard of, even the ugg rough riders.

I'm torn between saying, "Wow, that's a whole new breed of stupid right there" and actually admiring some of the skill shown and the actual cunning shown in committing the perfect blatant traffic crime.

When I was young we would have to ride our dirtbikes down stretches of public road, not as purposely criminal act but because sometimes it was the only way to get to where we would ride in the dirt and we couldn't afford trailers. We got chased sometimes but NEVER caught. Let's face it there are just too many places a dirt bike can go where a patrol car can't.

But seeing as how they are doing it in heavy traffic in the city I'll have to go with whole new breed of stupid.

First off, this is some stupid sh!t being done on that vid and something should be done about it but what would the comments be if they were good ole boys in Boston or some place like that??? Probably not comments like "I bet they were drug dealers" or "I wonder how many of them are stolen" "I really don't see getting all of them in one place and it being productive" and so forth and so on. Why the Bubba Stewart remark? Why couldn't they be 40 Ricky Carmichaels instead? Do you see a groups of white bikers and call them a bunch of Mat Mladins? Just amazing. :no All I got from this thread was a subtle racism from nearly all who posted. I guess this board isn't as color blind as I thought. Am I the only one who got that or what?

You used some of the EXACT terms and analogies I was thinking as I read through the responses.
