I had some stupid guy at work accuse me of racism recently. I told him to contact my lawyer because assuming that I am treating him like a five year old because he is black and not his five year old attitude towards life is a racist comment. I am a minority as a white male where I work, and I have yet to pull the race card. Anyone offended by anything offered up by people that they don't know is a douchebag. Go ahead, talk about my mama.

I can however relate to black from the waist down...My boots and pants are that color.

I have seen a group of 100 bikes stop the lane with right of passage (green signal) while they blew past a red signal. Morons from all different races.

Never been on a large group ride?

Blocking traffic to keep a big pack together is fairly common, and usually just takes a few seconds at each intersection. It's not exactly akin to blocking an entire freeway to hold a stunt show.

Most drivers smile and wave as the bikes go by, then 15 seconds later they go on their way.

Occasionally a driver will get uppity and yell or stand on their horn. Once in while someone will inch their car at a blocker. On the whole, however, most people are pretty cool.

Those who get angry never seem get out of their car and take a swing at a blocker. I suspect they run home and type about it on the internet. :p

everyones always got a lawyer....i don't have a lawyer.

How does that work?
Do you keep one around on retainer and shit, just waiting for someone to call?
what kinda scratch does something like that cost?
 
Here's my opinion about Ruff Ryders:

While I'm not interested in the whole scene cuz I listen to ABBA and Air Supply cuz that's how V4 rollz, y0...the good thing about Ruff Ryders is that it's bringing peace and breaking the racial tensions that's plaguing the Los Angeles areas with the common interest of motorcycles, cars/trucks...

There are blacks, latinos, asians and whites rolling together with the Ruff Ryders for a common interest otherwise they would be shooting each other like they are in Long Beach, Compton, and South Central where racial tension is so deep right now..

I'm not endorsing what they do but I see the positive note that they do provide ....

too bad they don't listen to Cher and Debbie Gibson either and so into hip hop....

oh well...their loss...
 
911???

I can see the problem if they held up a firetruck or wAMBULANCE, but if it made a couple of crazy cage drivers late for dinner then who cares(besides those who had to wait). Ive been in a few group rides where we slowed traffic so we wouldnt get ran over. Though a complete stop on the freeway might be a bit much.:blush Besides, doing wheelies between cars is part of the fun. Like human frogger.

You guyz both got good points as far as let boyz be boyz and/or breakin the law is bad. now kiss and make up cuzz were all sport bike riders right!? :applause

You don't need money for a lawyer, just somebody else that has money that the lawyer can take. kinda like a bank robber with a degree.

They may not have made a huge impact THEN, but when Mr. Law Maker guy wants to pass legislation that will adversely effect the rights of motorcyclists in general, the impact occurs when it is time to vote and Joe Cager remembers that crazy day when 500 "outlaw bikers" made him late for dinner.

OK.... I'm not sure I agree. Outlaw bikers have been part and parcel to the moto community from the very beginning. Like it or not, motorcycling has a "bad boy" image regardless of it being deserved. However, throughout history, biker gangs have ranged from mere public nuisance to organized crime. Guess what.... that image still sells alot of motorcycles.

The general public may not like motorcycles or motorcyclists because of people like the Ruff Riders, but let's face it. We aren't the most popular group on the road as it is. Why judge others?

So they held up the freeway. If you were on your bike at the time, you could have scooted on past it all.

No harm...no fould IMO

No, you're right... I agree with you on that.

But I think we can keep an image without acting like total idiots.

Example: Guy pulls up, clad in colors, to the side of an SUV filled with kids. He rev's his engine a little and gives the kids a thumbs up and waves to the parents, he takes off politely.

OR

Guys in a group weaving in and out of traffic and slows blocks the entire freeway. They pull stand-ups while others "wave dey hands in da' air!".

How much do we hate Critical Mass? They hold up the traffic, act like idiots and piss people off. So, the Ruff Ryders are gonna get the same respect.

Respect is earned, not given. If they can show they can be as slick as other colors in the Bay, maybe they'd win some of us over.
 
AND they are taking fans away from AMA racing!!! :p
 
how come everyone that wants to be different always dresses and acts exactly the same?
 
last time i checked every time a wannabe power ranger takes out a car on 17 or the various other popular roads in the area you hold up traffic more then these guys did, not only that but lots of times you traumatize young children or others in the cars you go head on with.

you guys can sit and talk all the shit you want about stunters, clubs, and people who block traffic but people throwing away bikes and blowing turns disrupt traffic more than any of these little frreway shows ever have :confused

I can't speak for the Ruff Ryders, Alex, but I can tell you that just because people are wearing the same patch doesn't mean they think or act alike.

Clubs share their colors like families share a surname. And, just as in a family, members often disagree with one another, but still care for each other and take care of one another in a pinch.

Again, I haven't spent a lot of time with the Ruff Ryders specifically, but all the clubs that I do spend time with (including my own) are made up of very different people who just happen to share a common bond.

If you don't believe me, you're welcome to come by an SF Vamps meeting and watch us bicker sometime. :wackyiraq

Thank (insert favorite Deity) you brought this thread back to its core of sectarian conflict :applause (looks like we quashed the guy that was trying to make this about race).
As a member of the canyon-carver sect, I can only say that if I wreck or another of my tribe wreck, we didn't do it on purpose. Your tribe, on the other hand, were clearly holding up traffic on purpose...
Now if only we could work in Harley riders into this thread we'd have a three-way internet gang-bang of moto-sectarian word-wars.
Heck, Word-War III could happen right before our very eyes, right here on Barf... :laughing
