Memorial Day Street Stunt Ride

[ceyko]

Lol full of shit...

No, no, no the po-po are mowing those bikers down.

I think this event they do/try to do would be bad ass if they did it on a private lot or airfield.

Kind of funny how with a little pressure they crack though, I thought this was for their old friend. I should not antagonize though, since it's all around better for everyone (even the riders) if that does not happen on public roads.

At the end of the day, I'm happy to hear it was broken up and no one was hurt.

Dallas police are on high alert, looking for stunt bikers causing problems on local expressways.



Fox 4's Emily Lopez with more on what police are doing to keep this from happening again.



Dallas police do not want a repeat of last Memorial Day, when bikers brought traffic to a standstill on 75, this year police decided to be proactive.



Officers used air-one, the police department's chopper to keep an eye on things from the air. They also have extra patrols out on the streets and on central expressway.



Police stopped short of discussing the tactics they'd be using, so they wouldn't tip off any bikers.



Last year bikers shut down central expressway on Memorial Day. The motorcycle meet up drew an estimated 75 motorcyclists. The bikers blocked traffic for several minutes while they performed stunts, and spray painted messages to remember two bikers who died the year before.



The You Tube video provided key pieces of evidence for police after officers were unable to stop the rally. Officers responded but the chase policy restricts chasing for non violent crimes

just after you took off that same cop floored it and swerved at the yellow gsxr, nearly pinning him to the wall. at regal row there were 4-6 cops trying to divert riders to 75 where the other 10 cop cars were.

2 helicopters, countless police man-hours, one totaled police car and another damaged.

All that and they only got two trumped arrest charges(one guy already out with the police's apologies).

What were you riding?? Did you stay with the group the entire time?

No ambulences were prevented from getting to hospitals, and while I'm sure some people were upset that their trip was 8-10min delayed, no one got hurt and we had a fun ride.

Just because they aren't in an ambulance doesn't mean it isn't an emergency, FYI.

Sooo.....

Good times today. We rode out from Garland and headed up 635 to 35 South. There weren't that many good riders there, probably only 6-10 people stunting and maybe only 80-100 total. Pretty weak turnout (I think a lot of folks were scared). I was on the DRZ and rolling some damn decent highway stoppies and a couple of 4th gear wheelies. Nothing special, I'm far from a "stunter" these days. Everything was cool, and then we saw our first cop right before the Loop 12 split. I was up front and everyone else hit their brakes when they saw this cop pull over and wait on the group. I said fuck it and rode right past him, then pulled over right at the Loop 12 split. I looked up and saw a helicopter, and that was my cue to cut over to 114 and take it back to the house. I was curious to see how things would go down, but not interested in going to jail over it.

I've since heard that cops swarmed the highway and split the group up. One DPD car wrecked into the wall chasing bikes and another hit a road sign. I haven't heard of anyone having been arrested yet, but we'll see. If they don't arrest anyone, I doubt the news will cover it. If they do, it'll be "Breaking News".

i agree with grove rat.

me and my bike wont be associated with the event.

[Skidmark]

Most folks on the ride never knew the ones that passed.

[grove rat]

oh and i'm not gonna wish death or injury to a fellow rider, even though i think it's pretty lame and immature. i will say that i hope some grow up and realize that you don't have to block off highways and act like idiots to remember a friend. maybe that's just me getting older

okay i'm done and i'll get off the soapbox now lol

[grove rat]

what's funny is there is nothing memorial about this ride. other than spray painting his name on the freeway what are you guys doing to remember your friend?

when i go on a memorial ride for a fallen rider, we would meet up and ride in the areas where our past friend worked/lived/often rode. then we ride to the cemetery and gather around his grave site & tell stories about him. after a while we it gets quiet, we sit there and think to ourselves. i usually think about the times we rode together and remember how dangerous riding can be. after some time we all ride to someone's house have a cookout and a few drinks

of course everyone remembers fallen riders in their own way. it just seems that people are using these 2 guys as an excuse to act like jackasses. maybe not everyone on the ride is like that, but i would bet that most of the people out there riding around are just doing it to do it. not because they knew the person


anyways, that's my .02

Oh, i'm breaking a law behind my keyboard? didn't know that.
Stop being a pussy, stop hiding your plate and faces.
Elitist, all self important attitude of the crotch rocket rider. Nice to see it hasn't changed.
Fags.

And there goes the stereotyping about us all. Please don't group us all together....I don't do the shit these assholes are planning.

[Sleeper]

I say fuck you to all you assholes. I dont care how good of guys you are. If i was in a emergency situation your stunt crew is not stoping me.

Go rent a track or use a parking lot. And before you say i get all pissy, i street raced my ass off and we blocked a few roads in our day, but we also did it past midnight.

I think you would be in a lot better mood if you got laid. You might have to pay for it, but it will still count!

Does no good. Cowards will be cowards.

And I'm with the "I hope they block you all in and ticket every one of you" crowd...

This only if you block off the highway and stop people from getting to the hospital or other places that are more important than a bunch of children on motorcycles being badasses.


Please don't kick my mirrors off if you see me, as this was not intended as a threat. lol

What do you drive? Lol jk

Aw someone is angry in tags. Let's be a big boy and make posts that don't hide your name.
