    We have the same thing every year, nothing new. True Story: I was riding home from work many years ago and did'nt know didly about MLK Day. I ended up taking the parade route unbeknownst to me dodging the crazies :wheelie::wheelie:

    I had a nice peaceful ride this afternoon, just a lot of ‘Sunday’ drivers as my father used to call the gawkers and slow pokes.

    A far cry from the 100 bikes raising hell and going the wrong way on the Bay bridge. Bad enough when you are going the right way when your on a bike.

    There are more than a few wrong way wrecks that happen in South Florida for some reason. Really its the farthest thing from my mind when I am riding/driving.

    We have our share too, on our freeways, but this was different, this intentional. These crazy bastards were taunting the cops, lane splitting against against the flow!!

    Actually as one of the riders died I'd surmise that Darwin does work fairly effectively ...

    This sort of thing has happened plenty of times before - they usually lose a few people before figuring out that its not the smartest thing to do.

    Total idiots. A group of us that ride the track regularly would sometimes go to a meet up spot that the young flip flop wearing "bad asses" would gather at a gas station before terrorizing people on I 95. We would be on street legal track bikes in full gear. They would ask us questions about our bikes and why ride in leathers. We would try getting a few to go to a track day with us to find out what their bikes are really designed to do and tell them they could lean to ride fast in a safe environment. We got a handful to try it out and their eyes were opened to a whole new world. They previously thought just because they could twist the throttle or ride a wheelie that they were bad ass bikers. Now they are no longer terrors on the streets and having a blast really learning to ride sport bikes.

    Darwins law doesn't fix stupid, but I guess it provides a partial solution of sorts.
    Problem is, they breed.
