Hooliganism at its worst.. :o(

 It would look like one of those 'greased pig' contests at the county fair.

That's some funny 'znit right there!!

In the parlance of a Jerry Springer audience member - "Where you at?"

Mike, I live in Tarzana near Woodland Hills and cruise the canyon pretty regularly but have never had the unfortunate experience of encountering these clowns. If I had to guess I would say they were "Rough Riders". I am sure you have heard of them, they have store in Van Nuys and are usually a very "urban" group of lads. All I can say is that God was watching when that guy ate it.

Are you sure there wasn't a film crew lurking somewhere. I was in Hollywood one afternoon and a similar thing happened but it turned out to be the filmming of "Tourqe" or some bullshit movie like that.

The Big B

  I live about 1\2 mile up topanga from the topanga\mulholland intersection.   Im sure there was no film crew.  Ya know...it just might have been the "Rough Riders" but no one was flying any colors.  No jackets or stickers or anything identifying them as whoever.   Very wide selection of bikes though. Even saw a few metric cruisers in the bunch.   To me ..it wasnt really that big of a deal until the guy crashed....and then  2 of the guys bullied a car infront of us over to the side.   At that point it wasnt cool  anymore.  The one funny thing about it all is when the guy ate it..... not ONE of the other guys even hesitated for one millisecond.  They just rode around him like a squashed cat in the road.

See, they don't even care about each other, much less anyone else.  They'll pay eventually, you can bank on it.

Makes ya wish ya had a 1969 C20 with pipe bumpers.

I got a 69 C10 (no pipe bumpers though) and it's low enough I could ride beside them and hook their foot controls with my front bumper and hit the brakes on them.  I hate people that do this crap, these are the guys that give our sport a bad name.

I got caught up in a similar situation on Lake Hughes Rd in Castaic. A group of about 50 riders got off of the north bound 5 to do the canyon run and swarmed the intersection blowing the red. I was waiting for the light in my car when I got surrounded. Fortunately there were no accidents but it sure is a bizarre situation getting stuck in the middle of the swarm.
