By now you have probably heard about the New York incident in which a businessman was dragged from his Range Rover and beaten by a mob of motorcyclists. The attack—which nicely combined elements of The Wild Angels and Bonfire of the Vanities—would have been media catnip regardless, but became a sensation when helmet-cam videos were posted on YouTube.
The story just keeps producing spicy tidbits, notably the fact that a half-dozen undercover New York police officers were among the hundreds of rampaging cyclists.
Now the New York Post has reported Reginald Chance, who was videotaped using his helmet to break out the Range Rover’s window, has an impressive record of 21 arrests on various drug and robbery charges. Most recently, he was found to be in possession of cocaine, marijuana and a gun.

This is the guy who was photographed flipping everyone “the bird” at his court appearance. And now we know why. He knows he’ll be back on the street in no time. Why take a little thing like this seriously?

You lower the standards to fill a quota and this is what you get.

A real Biker wouldn’t be seen on a crotch rocket. LOL
The second half of our week, was black biker week. They all rode crotch rockets--i.e. Jap bikes that whine. Many of them were very rowdy to the extent that some restaurants closed for vacation week, having been thru it before.
The streets were filled all week with bikes surrounding the cars on the road, like the video in NY, and the noise was awful.

My wife and I went to Eureka Springs Ark. back in the eighties... Hells Angels had an event the same week. We were a little weary but as it turned out there was no problems that I know of. Funny thing is you would see all these motorcycles out in front of motels but at about sundown you would see them pushing them into their motel rooms!!!
He was flashing his gang sign...he is a member of the Boss Rollaz (they have a facebook page) and he was flashing their gang sign... the double bird.
