There's no doubt the police will take their frustration out on those of us that had nothing to do with this.

Let's hope drivers don't take their frustrations on riders that has nothing to do with this.

I got rid of sportbikes for the GTA and ride an 'adventure ' bike. Not because I didn't fit in, because I didn't want to fit in.

I remember seeing one a few months ago, on the news: a driver hitting a rider and few riders being interviewed; that segment endend on a good note of positive awareness. I will look for the link and send it to you.
In the meantime, we don't need that type of representation in the media. It doesn't help our cause and doesn't represent must of us.

We have a cause? What colour is the ribbon? Why am I the last to know?

The public perception of riders was spit roasted over a fire fuelled by decades of reckless operation, obnoxious exhausts and other childish behaviour. That was before You Tube began tightening the noose with video evidence. Easy points for a Law & Order candidate to score if they want--Patrick Brown would be my guess.

Two police cars were with them seemingly like an escort, but I suppose there is nothing they could have done without causing an injury or a riot.

Likely taking plates of as many as they can in hopes to nab a few.

If they were to light them up, people wills start blaming police for "stupidly chasing motorcyclists and causing them to act in a dangerous manner"...:rolleyes:

There is now yet another reason for cagers who hate motorcyclists to intentionally take us out.

I could see a lot of filtering leading to stunting charges because of this.

Exactly what I'm saying! Hopefully it doesn't get to that point!

I also saw them at lakeshore Eastbound at Bathurst. 1:20pm
They were splitting lanes, using oncoming lanes, doing wheelies, running the red light in a procession like a funeral.

About 150 bikes would be my guess.
Idiots.

same thing looks like it happened here.. towards the end there's a cop car and they're pulling wheelies next to him..

Re: If you participated in this ride smarten up!!!!!

About the cause, we should have a peace protest against that type of behaviour: I'm thinking a riding rally where we dont go higher than 50 km/h on the 401 to show we're not reckless that should get the respect from cagers. You can decide for the color of ribbon.

You are right, public perception had always been that way for ages however I think starting the conversation and sending positive message and stand out while other groups are doing reckless behaviour should be enough to get the conversation going. That's a first step toward a change to public perception imo.

Re: If you participated in this ride smarten up!!!!!

I'm hoping most guys/gals showed up for the ride, behaved themselves (other than red lights but whatever), and a few started stunting and gave the ride some bad publicity.

I don't think it's fair to judge them all as a group
 
These are lovely videos The brush people paint with will be just a little wider now :rolleyes:

I am very fond of some of the videos popping up of people making videos where they are riding like idiots and then on another video in their channel, the have DIY videos adding a part to their bike showing their face, license plate etc.... takes a genius I tell ya

They were a group. It's perfectly fair to judge them all as a group. Anyone in the group who did not approve of the riding could have left that group at any moment.

Time to amend the HTA so that registered vehicle owners are held accountable for the traffic violations of any unidentified operator using that vehicle.

It's a bit too late for that. Thanks to the Media, perception is reality. Proof being that article from CP24 ... Might have to do a little survey to the public too.
