This High-Speed Chase Video Is Exactly Why Most People Think Motorcycle Gangs Are *******s
s it impossible for you to just ride your bike around like a normal law-abiding citizen? Are the wheelies and weaving in and out of traffic really necessary? Heads up, no one driving around you likes that ****.
Via Gawker,
The video, spliced together from a few cameras mounted to members of an L.A. biker gang, has it all. Wheelies, power slides, shutting down roads, hiding under overpasses and pedestrian walkways, and suicidal attire. Then add in at least one patrol car – plus a crash a few feet away – a high-speed chase, then follow it up with a police helicopter…
This video is exactly why your Mom made you get a Prius and not a Harley.

That's not a motorcycle gang, they're motorcycle fairies.

That cop was wasting his time. Those guys weren't about to stop....and, despite hitting one, he obviously couldn't get all of them. Besides, one cop, even if armed, against a least a dozen angry bikers is not very good odds....and gang-bikers have a well-deserved reputation for being bad-a** dudes (that's partly how their gangs survive). If any real confrontation had happened, that cop would probably have been toast.......and perhaps even a couple of police back-ups, if they had managed to get there.
Also, the LAPD (and especially that officer, if identified) will probably be marked for retaliation now by that gang, and who knows what the repercussions will be?
Motto: You don't mess with bikers unless you have the force, weapons, and manpower to do it with....like a police SWAT team.

Those guys and others just like them are a disgrace to motorcyclisys everywhere. They are not a "gang" they're a mob. A bunch of individuals who with numbers develop a mob mentality. Not one of them can own up to their actions. They're answers are often "were just having fun blah blah". I ride, been riding collectively for 22 years. I've done my share of stupid crap but I've grown up. I ride track, race on track and love every moment about it. Believe it or not, REAL motorcycle gangs do not act like complete idiots like these morons do. That guy who crashed, crashed on his own because he's a crappy rider. He came up too quick on the patrol vehicle and locked up his front brakes. Butt over end, too bad so sad. Unfortunately cops cannot PIT bikes like cars because we all know it'll probably end in a body bag or serious injury. Then what? Ferguson 2.1? Of course, thats American society. Sue the police because you (as in the dirt bag) committed a crime and got spanked. I'm tired of being angry with stupid people.....

About the exhausts, all modified exhausts in California are illegal. Very few companies make a 50 state legal exhaust. Most of the retailers who sell these exhausts won't even ship to California anymore. I know because I tried. That talk about loud pipes saves lives is completely untrue too. Ever been driving along and had a police car come blaring up from your rear lights and siren and before you knew it, it was on your tail and you didn't even know? It happens all the time. As a rider I sit in Los Angeles traffic in my Lex and get surprised when a bike suddenly comes up on my right side. I didn't hear It coming. Maybe because he was doing while the cars were doing 10. Not a whole lot of loud exhaust going on there. Harleys with pipe mods are obnoxious.... I also ride a Harley too and have stock pipes.. that's as loud as I want mine. Police Harleys are stock pipes too. They can't control Harleys R&D to not be able to make a quiet Harley. What's saves lives for a rider is cognitive awareness, expect no one to see you, everyone to cut you off, be extremely defensive while being offensive. Riding isn't for everyone. You can ride a bike but it doesn't mean you should.

Not all motorcycle clubs and gangs are exactly alike. If I gave that impression, or the idea that one has to automatically keep one's distance from anyone riding on a Harley, sorry, I did not mean to. What I meant, though, was that it is a fact that you don't want to mess with classic traditional gangs like the Pagans, Hells Angels, Outlaws, etc...... Get on their wrong side, and it is guaranteed to ruin your whole day. Even cops have to be careful dealing with them, with plenty of back-up. In fact, dealing with dangerous gangs and other criminals is one reason why SWAT teams were originally formed.
It may be hard for you to believe the seriousness of it because this type of biker-gang may does not exist in Europe where you are. But they do here in the U.S., though not quite to the extent that the media sometimes paints them.
