OK, fair enough. I'm sorry that your feelings are hurt because nobody was interested enough in that topic to turn into a conversation, but that's no reason to take it out on me and others who discussed the guys on dirtbikes.

I blame that on the author. If you're going to write about the restaurant and bar scene, why start your article with a giant photo of guys tearing around somebody's yard on dirt bikes and four wheelers?

In all fairness, the decision of what photo to include at the top probably wasn't up to the author, but some editor at Vice.

My feelings are intact, I have no racial fear for dudes on bikes. I think all americans should enjoy the fun of a motorbike without being racially judged, but Im just one person though. Toodaloo

Nobody but you said anything about their race.

I used to travel I-20 in the evenings a lot during the '00s. There used to be (and maybe still is) a large group of motorcyclists that would group ride at night, doing miles long wheelies at 80+ mph, slaloming between cars, changing lanes inches from other vehicles, and basically scaring the ***** out of the drivers that were just trying to get to their destination. These guys wore helmets, making it impossible to know what race they were. Those guys were every bit as dangerous (probably more dangerous) and annoying as the Bike Life guys. So, it isn't about race.

This just happened again on Peachtree in Atlanta tonight. Not only did the drive on the wrong side of the road going through red lights. Talented roding on one wheel but extremily dangerous for everyone.
