And the question is - why don't they try this stunt along Cross Bay Blvd., Katonah Ave., Arthur Ave.? Surely police presence in those areas are no better than elsewhere in NYC.
Didn't the NYPD chief said there was over 200 phone calls about this? Also it was noted last year these same group clogged up times square causing a mess.
Allegedly, the bikers closed the ramps on the entrances on the West Side highway so they can do their tricks. So in theory, there is little other cars to witness the drama between the Ranger Rover & the bikes......except the infamous vid cam posted up
So is it the police not being willing or not being able to do something about it? Are they that overworked? I'm not trying to be difficult, I just had no idea this kind of stuff goes on. I can see how there wouldn't be many other cars to witness if they are closing the entrance ramps. It just blows my mind that they get away with this!

I personally don't get NYPD's stance on this. After last year in times square, I would assume they had a year to think about this.
NYPD MUST do something about this going fwd. As reported...taking gas away from them isn't the answer. Mass traps of nets and heavy handed punishment IS the way to stop them.
This whole thing really bugs me because this can happen to almost any of us....many of the vids are taken at places I driven dozens of times.
I think everyone needs to stop calling these a##holes "bikers." They are nothing more than thugs who got what they deserved. They are the stereotypical bully who is big and bad until someone stands up to them, then they whine and cry about being a victim. Those dbags would be laughed out of town if they ever showed up here for a REAL biker rally.
I agree.
When I think of "bikers"... I think 1%ers who are patched-up - not silly guys on silly crotch rockets doing silly tricks.
At some point, doesn't this gathering is classified as a illegal parade? Couldn't every thug biker be arrested in partaking an illegal parade? I believe that is the easy way to arrest them all. (refer to times square vid in post #293)
Also it interesting how some of the bikers really believe they were the victims...that could explain why the biker who took the vid continue to take the infamous video all the way to start of the beating.....perhaps he thought the video would prove the bikers were all victims and innocent....just a possible theory of mines

Jeez. You people are afraid of EVERYTHING.
These bikers have been here for years without incident. NYPD never had a problem until this video.
If the SUV guy wouldn't have honked his horn he never would have got the beatdown that he did AFTER mowing down another biker.
Everybody seems to be ignoring the fact that there were OTHER cars on the SAME highway that were NOT banging their horn and just kept it moving, because they knew it would soon be over and the bikers would be on their way. For some reason, the SUV guy wanted to be Billy Bad A__, but didn't have the artillery in his car to back it up. Sucks for him.
Everybody (bikers included) handled this situation wrong.
But you can always tell who the fraidy cats are in a thread by how much they "insist" the police DO SOMETHING about EVERYTHING. Good lord man, grow a freaking pair!
If this scaredy cat crap keeps up, New York City is going to have to change its name to "New Punk City" soon.

refer to post #278 & #282
Can you not see the illegal moves they do? Its not safe to the public. Blowing red lights, riding on sidewalks, no helmets, ATVS, no plates, etc etc
As noted the ones depicted on these vids aren't bikers.....I personally knows real bikers...many are law abiding citizens.
I personally have a modified sports car...is ok I start closing up west side highway & do some drag racing? So some crazy weaving in & out of traffic like its grand theft auto? perhaps take my car on sidewalks & mow down some people?
