Thanks for the compliment, I appreciate it!
Pardon my french, but the writer is so full of shit. Damage to property, damage or worse to people. They don’t give a fuck. This is just a bunch of assholes being assholes together. At some point (in Mt. Vernon at least) the police would get ahead of the bikers and close off intersections. It was funny how about the…
Bad for the cars they hit when they get a little too close, or bad for them when one rider makes a car dodge by going directly into the path of another one. In the battle of the car with four wheels at 2,000 pounds and dirt bike with 2 wheels at 400 pounds and a rider not wearing a helmet, leathers, boots, gloves,…
+1000. You said this so much more eloquently than I. There's nothing noble and heroic in popping wheelies down city streets and showing a complete disregard for traffic safety laws. Driving erratically and performing reckless driving behavior is how you cause crashes.

While everyone, including the bikers themselves, acknowledges that the sport can be dangerous, riders use hand signals and even ride in grassy areas to avoid intermingling with car traffic.
Just to be clear, I never said any of that shit, so I don’t really know who you’re talking to. I guess you’re referring to the Twitter/Reddit/Comment echo chamber. I remember a time when we rightly rated internet comments not a very good metric of broader sentiment, with the understanding that they were heavily biased…
Because protests by definition are not about polite expressions of displeasure.
“First of all they’re fucking grown women.”
“Aping”, huh? Not so subtle choice of words my friend.
I’m not white. It may come as a shock that POC can disagree with you, but try not to start off your comment with something as stupid as “you’re racist for disagreeing with me” next time. So the first and second paragraphs don’t even pertain to me, and I am going to ignore them as the stupid assumption based drivel…
