I'm with you guys, keep this in the city and off mountain/canyon roads!  That's where the rest of us want to ride!

I support urban squids.  Stay urban, guys.

You guys sound like a bunch of grumpy old men.

GET OFF OF MY LAWN ARGLE BARBGLE.  Twofinger

I honestly don't get what the problem is with this. Not every motorcycle rider wants to dress like a dork in head to toe Aerostich and fantasizes about winning the Iron Butt Rally. Many motorcyclists enjoy going on big group rides. And it's not like they were causing trouble. The local police basically just shrugged it off and reported no problems at all with this event, so why do you guys get so much sand in your vaginas?

One of the guys I ride with up here goes every year.  He's a he'll of a good guy,  and says it's a lot of fun.  Basically,  the police more or less block areas off and let the stunt riders go bonkers,  within reason.

I hit part of it a few years ago by accident,  and had a riot.  How often do you legally get to ride like a hooligan on the highway? Even some of the Patrol guys were thrashing their bikes.  Nothing like a good burnout on a state funded tire!

My wife (who rides) was super PO'd weekend before last because the police had closed a ton of streets for some ride, and she literally couldn't get to work.  She was worried about being early by half an hour, and then winds up sitting in traffic past start time.  Really?  The entire city needs to stop so weak minded lemmings can feel like part of a group?  So she was PO'd, and I don't like it when there's sand in my vagina.  Clear?

As the English used to say, "a tempest in a teapot". Yeah, there were a bunch of calls from car drivers, mostly old ladies and others who are secret old ladies. If there had been any real bad behavior, the cops would have been all over it. They love chances to flex their muscle.    
 I also think the numbers on the freeway, causing problems, are grossly over estimated.  Razz

Ah ha.  Good call, probably was.   Embarassment  I was kinda busy that weekend.  Okay, small inconvenience for that is okay.  Bigok I still am not a fan of the ginormous group ride though.

The biggest call in ratio was probably from the I270 loop, I70, I44, I55, and I64, where these numbskulls do block off every bloody lane of an interstate, sometimes up to 5 lanes.  So one or 3 of them can jerk-off in public, oh, sorry, show off their mad wheeelieee skilz  Rolleyes on the way too ROC.  Yes, I saw it happening that day.  There's no need for the police to "embrace" this kind or jackass-ary.  The shmucks who do that kind of crap won't care to do anything in a controlled environment because it's not "realz".  God save us from these individualists

Newbie from St. Louis here.
I happened to be riding south 55 and saw a group of at least 50 or so heading north taking up multiple lanes. My first thought was "this isn't good, someones going to die." I didn't see anyone doing anything extremely stupid though.
I'm not sure what the point of it all was. It makes us all look bad though.

Kids are having fun , big deal . You know , people , when you are young you are typically stupid and squidgy behavior might just happen .

5 bucks says more people have died , got injured during Iron Butt and other endurance rallies then during those goofy rides .

BTW , public hates us anyway , it does not matter what we do or  don`t .
