Sports Bike Swarming in Canada 1 Year, 5 Months ago  
http://toronto.ctvnews.ca/video?clipId=949066 More action and adventure from the kiddy riders uniting and causing danger for themselves and everyone else. This gives bikers a bad name and has no value what so ever and is a threat to the public. If I had a kid that pulled that nonsense his bike would be toast. Very hard to control teens. The sad thing is that peer pressure effects good kids. they get wrapped up with the pack mentality and drawn into behavior that is not in par with their normal day to day life. hopefully no one gets hurt from this foolishness.

Almost every Thursday night, a group like those (I call them 'angry bees' due to the massed sound of their exhausts) plague the highways around Dallas @ 9:30-10 PM.

Agree 100% except for your last line. I hope nobody other than the morons on the bikes get hurt.

I'm a big fan of the "Darwin Awards" and it appears from the video there are many worthy candidates.

Of course the downside is our insurance rates keep going up-up-up...over $1200 a year this year for my Roadie, that's about 15% higher than last year and I have a clean record and an old bike. Brutal.

That type of behaviour needs to be nipped in the bud! The Police should gather as many plates or ID's as they can and gather their bikes one by one and shred them, then permanently ban the twurps from driving any motor vehicle for life.

And then they wonder why the ss rates are so high or why some companies wont even insure ss bikes.

Wow, I'm really glad you all weren't around when I was young and dumb. At one time or another, I'm guilty of pretty much everything these riders were doing.

Now I can be a grumpy old fart, but deep inside I can relate in an immature kind of way.

This is Canada ... where competition is non-existant!

I pay about $1200 a year for my coverage, and it does not include replacement if I collide with something.
