This is everywhere now, it’s actually been growing since the early 00’s when I first witnessed it. Last summer a parade of dudes riding on one wheel down the street went by my place for about 5 minutes, I lost count after 50 bikes.

They were southbound. The cameras at the toll plaza would have captured all their plates.
This data could have been used to trigger the big trap door in the middle of the bridge on their way back.

Ah, so that’s where this year’s Stupid Arsehole Convention was held.

Most motorcyclists who participate in this type of activity will bend their plates inward or otherwise obscure them in order to avoid speed cameras and license plate readers. They even sell flip-up brackets for this purpose.

Stunt riders are at the state fair, these guys are disrupting traffic, and risking more lives than their own with stupid antics.
They are squarely on the asshole list, because there are places you can go do this without creating difficulties for your fellow citizens. This is always on purpose.

This irresponsible inanity is somewhat common in some areas of NYC.

I was out for a walk Saturday around 4:00 along “the Wiggle” in town and a subset of these motorcyclists blew past and through red lights. (I recognize at least two of them from the posted video.) Thing is, when I saw them in town, they had such gleeful expressions, like, “what fun,” regardless of the danger they pose to themselves and others.

Isn’t videoing with your phone while driving an official no-no too?

Around 3:30 p.m., approximately 100 motorcycles gathered on the southbound side of the Golden Gate Bridge
*Northbound. You can clearly see Sutro Tower in the distance which is southbound.

That’ll probably be Tetsuo.

Candidates for the Darwin Award; those who have only 2 wheels to work with but insist on using only one.

Something about that bridge does tend to attract an unsavory element.

Seems kinda cool to me. Maybe not blowing thru red lights but yeah, a 100 riders doing wheelies across the Golden gate bridge? Come on now.

All it takes is a request for a parade permit.

Where are all the ‘broken windows’ enthusiasts when it comes time to deal with people being assholes in traffic?
