leslie lakeshore. whats with the gangs showing up
- Thread starter canuck
- Start date
Uhm, not downtown?
Seriously though, I do realize that many people enjoy the "meet atmosphere" but it just ain't for me. Really feels like a giant circle jerk.
As for starting points Rob - Leslie definitely ain't that. It's a black hole, once you get there, you never leave. Hwy 10/Mayfield is not bad for going up north, almost out of the city. East and West, I don't really know any good spots. 403/Dundas is similar to Leslie, just less people but they also stand around doing nothing. Some brave ones, ride through Mississauga Rd. to stand at Burrito Boys afterwards.

For someone who started in the west end it wasn't a bad spot, if we were heading out to 503/507/ELR (before they became so popular).
*EDIT* By the way I was talking about CToM, not L&L.

So you don't have a route to offer them.
Do you expect the people say East of Yonge and 401 to ride out to 10/Mayfield around 8pm when it's getting dark and animals will be on the move to ride on roads that are pitch black?
Not everyone has their M2 or M.
As I mentioned it's safer for them to stay right there in a lot.
We have a lot of yahoo's like that in Kitchener.......let's sit around and drink coffee. And then they wonder how I already put 15k on my bike this season.
Oh look, a fan of "Sons of Anarchy".
I lived in a warehouse loft complex besides members of the Para Dice Riders. Those guys were violent psychopaths. These are pimps and drug pushers, arms dealers, thieves , murderers, ex-cons. A few drinks or dope, and they will f--k you up.
Tee Vee has done a great job at sanitizing their image into believing that they have a code of morals, which is complete BS. The only thing more pathetic than these guys were the hanger-on posers who thought it was cool to associate with them.
They have recently learned to keep a low profile, and would never hang out at places like this (some guy in a Harley with badges is likely a janitor somewhere).
The other myth is that they ride bikes, most of them don't.
I've recently seen people downtown wearing fake biker colors and even "Sons of Anarchy" leathers. A decade a go, that would have gotten you beat up.
I doubt the people the OP is referring to are actual gang bikers. Likely just motorcycle clubs of middle-aged blue-collar types with loud pipes who feel like they need to portray a bad-*** image to the world to make up for their lack of accomplishments.
South park summed it up perfectly.

Thirty years ago it might have resulted in OPP/QPP finding your burnt-out car along the side of some major highway, with you in it, with a slit throat as a 'message.'

Thirty years ago society was intimidated by leather-wearing pirates. Thirty years later (now) and society finds them funny.
As little as 20 years ago people were scared that they might be blown up along with members of The Angels or Rock Machine.

Society has seen too much to be frightened by so-called "hooligans." The concept is funny. What scares society these days? Perhaps the sight of another columbine on the news? Another plane going through another building? Anthrax?
The very idea of a biker gang is flawed. They are all on 600 lb motorcycles. The whole parade could be taken out by a road-raging minivan mom. Everyone is a hooligan to some degree these days.

They want you to be watching the 600 pound motorcycles. That way you aren't paying attention to the plain white vans and beater cars.
There seems to be another war brewing. Let's see what people think then, if it actually happens.
We've still got loads of superstitious Asians, my folks included. Apparently walking through the front door of your house causes great bad luck lol

I forgot about that. I think Richmond Hill banned the usage of the # on houses or something. When I read it I raged a bit =(
