Photo of the week

[Geoff]

This is a photo I took over the weekend of a couple of motorcyclist and I was trying to figure out to make it more interesting to look at. So here it is. I am thinking about posting the ride up on here but I am 100% positive I will get negative feedback left and right. Anyway here it is

Motorcycle story

Whats going on in this photo? Why are you positive that it would get negative feedback? Is it breaking the law type of stuff?

 

[MisterX]

So, what's the back story?

 

[Geoff]

Its not the photo thats going to get negative feedback, its the Ride I went on, I love the photo

 

[chomorro]

I would have left my jacket on in the fight. It has CE approved Armor :BLAA:

 

[CHEMIKER]

Sounds like you're itching to tell us about your ride, but you want assurance we won't flame. No chance on that, buster :spank:

But we still want to hear the story now.

 

[Chupacabra]

I don't think anything negative will happen to ya, rebel dude.

Went on the Epic StL ride, eh?

From the looks of it, the dreadlock guy must've said something like:

"Harley riders are way tougher than Alpinestar wearing 'Jap-bike' riders!"

Or...he tried to take his barbecue.

If someone tries to take my barbecue I react in the same, violent way.

 

[McLovin]

So you went on a squid group ride?

I've been on 2 rides I am not proud of, one of them was extreme, 20+ bikes, helmet as the only gear for 19 out of 20 riders, all revving their engines to redline at every red light...all wearing identical leather vests representing their clan or whatever...stand up wheelies on the freeway, you name it scary stuff...you should tell :BLAA:

Ok....Here is the ride info.

This was the Ride titled RIDE OF THE CENTURY 2011. It was very chaotic.

Here is the video that I recorded. Note. I stayed more towards the back, but anyway here is my video. I did have all my gear on too

Still looked like fun! I would just worry somebody launching from a burnout etc. Still prolly a fun experience. That's a lot of bikes.

 

[chomorro]

Geezus thats would be scarier then lane splitting at 90mph to me. Thats insane!!

 

[Chupacabra]

ABSOLUTE CHAOS

Glad you made it without injury or a ticket Geoff!

 

[TripNip]

So the next thing is what's the story behind the bloke getting pounded?

 

[08fz6]

That gives a whole new meaning to stay alert. I was very impressed to see the attire of many of the attendees.

 

[lonesoldier84]

You should be ashamed of yourself.

Owning a motorcycle and having fun with it....

Lol, but what's the story of the guy beating on the other guy?

 

[chunkygoat]

Dude I have to say, that is epic. I would never flame for taking part, I didn't see you doing burnouts or wheelies. No harm, no foul. Looks like it was a blast, I wish I lived closer to St. Louis.

Reminds me of a squidier version of our ride for Adam.

Sorry for the terrible video quality during the riding video, boring and terrible quality - back before the days of the gopro and other HD cameras.

 

[Geoff]

I think the story goes....

One dude cut off another rider on the way in from the ride and road rage took over from there.

This is the news story that took place

Personally I did try to take my time, the camera makes it look like I was really close, but I kept my eyes open and my focus in my surrounding. I personally had fun with it since I road with a couple friends. Far as I know there were 2 accidents. Anyway, not sure if I will do it again. I got the footage I wanted. I might attend the rally afterwards, but I don't know if I will do the ride again. It all just depends...
