Duane, I gotta agree....not cool. Like the video of a fatal racing accident, I don't need to see it even once.

Duane removed the video of biker vs bus, biker loses.

 

This is much more pleasant, courtesy of CNN:

Hapless robbers target biker meeting

CNN) -- Two masked and machete-wielding men who barged into a club in Sydney, Australia, couldn't have picked a worse night for their robbery -- a monthly meeting of bikers.

About 50 burly bikers fought back with tables and chairs -- pretty much anything that wasn't bolted down. One would-be robber was tied up; the other in the hospital.

Police arrested both.

Hearing the commotion from an adjacent room, Vancornewal and his pals with the Southern Cross Cruiser motorcycle club stomped through to the bar area to intervene.

"They (the robbers) thought they had the upper advantage with their knives and their machetes," Jim Webb, night supervisor of the club, told CNN. "They didn't expect to run into a bunch of guys carrying chairs and tables."

One of the would-be robbers crashed through a plate-glass door and jumped off a balcony.

"These guys were absolutely dumb as bricks," Jerry Vancornewal, leader of the bikers, told CNN Thursday. "I can't believe they saw all the bikes parked up front and they were so stupid that they walked past in."

Vancornewal and his buddies were at the Regents Park Sporting and Community Club in Sydney when the two men wearing ski masks stormed in Wednesday night. They yelled at patrons to drop to the floor as they emptied cash registers at the bar.

Hearing the commotion from an adjacent room, Vancornewal and his pals with the Southern Cross Cruiser motorcycle club stomped through to the bar area to intervene.

"They (the robbers) thought they had the upper advantage with their knives and their machetes," Jim Webb, night supervisor of the club, told CNN. "They didn't expect to run into a bunch of guys carrying chairs and tables."

One of the would-be robbers crashed through a plate-glass door and jumped off a balcony.

"All he had to do was push the button and it automatically opened," Webb quipped.

New South Wales police said they arrested the 20-year-old man a short distance away.

The second man made a break for it through the club's service entrance, but the bikers tackled him near a neighbor's fence.

"We just grabbed him, crash-tackled him to the ground, hogtied him with electrical wire and left him for the cops," Vancornewal said.

Police confirmed in a statement that club patrons subdued the second man until officers arrived, but did not provide additional details. The suspect turned out to be a 16-year-old boy.

Both would-be robbers were charged with attempted armed robbery and "face disguised with intent to commit indictable offense," police said.

A third person, who was waiting in a getaway car, took off when the bikers threw pieces of furniture at him, Webb said. Police have not located him.

The Regents Park Sporting and Community Club is a place where locals come to enjoy drinks and take part in various games: cricket, soccer, lawn bowling. The biking enthusiasts meet there once a month to plan rides and other club activities.

In the last year or so, criminals have struck the club about 10 times, Webb said. And Wednesday night's incident, while unusual, wasn't the most memorable.

"We have these old bingo players and they are really serious about their games," Webb explained. "They do not like to be interrupted."

When robbers barged in one evening and announced that they were holding up the place, the players turned around and testily told them to be quiet.

"They were making it difficult for the players to hear the numbers being called," Webb

I'm about 12 months away from a Minnesota built Victory or an American assembled (but multi-national nonetheless) FatBoy, I'll keep my Smokey's Best Damn Garage patch on while I ride the rice. ;)

 

(heck, it's old and starting to leak, creak and chirp....even my Shadow thinks it's an HD!)

Hey Speed, If you happen to have an Ultra Classic in the garage I'd be willing to do a little trading with ya! I have a Heritage (same thing as a Fatboy just a little more Bling). That Victory bike, does it have a S&S motor in it or do they build their own engines??

PB, I have a Honda Shadow ACE in the garage....need more ponies (not to mention fuel injection) to pull my fat butt up in the mountains of Colorado where I am living right now. Is the ACE worth anything in trade towards that Heritage?

I'm not sure if Polaris does any of their own Victory motors or if S&S does them all. I do know that OEM chrome is done in Dubuque.

The Ultras are a sweet ride and the Classic with the chopped down visor has a real nice sporty look to it! The wife isn't going for me getting a different bike tho!! Hey Speed, where you at out in Colorado? Greeley is my old stompin grounds. Actually lived in Longmont, Johnstown, Windsor & Severence but mainly Greeley. Would love to get back out on the bike and ride up through Loveland pass on the M/C, theres a good biker bar in Lyons if you bring the back way back down from Estes Park. I rode my bicycle from Greeley up to Estes Park back in 1980 (about 50 miles & 3,000 ft up) but they would be planting me in the ground if I had to do that today.

I'm in Morrison but working near the old Stapleton. My main riding road is the Bear Creek Canyon from the Red Rocks up to Evergreen and back, I've ridden it each of the last 4 weekends and about 50 times total since October.

So you must be deep up in the foot hills or right in the mountains! Nice. I never ventured too far South other than Denver & Vail & Breckenridge once in a blue moon. It's all beautiful as long as your by the mountain range though. What did they do with Stapleton after DIA opened up anyway?

Stapleton is now a series of strip malls and warehouses on both sides of I70. I work about a mile west of there right now, but the possibility exists of moving to the NW corner of the mousetrap soon.

 

yup, I am west of the hogback, less than 2 miles south of the Red Rocks and Bandimere Dragway and 2 miles west of C470 (which didn't exist when you lived here...goes from I70 in Golden straight south to Highlands Ranch before it swings around to I25)

 

Awesome roads, awesome people, awesome bars. NO dirt track racing. gotta find a way to move home soon.
