Unless you had explosive diarrhea, were those extra 2 minutes that crucial?

My view- if they want to block traffic then pay the money for police escorts. Our Jeep club has done many charity runs and we’ve always hired SO’s or LSP to escort.

I’ll add- if you’re wearing an orange vest blocking traffic so the plant hands can exit the parking lot, frick you, I’m going around you.

My hood had to make a collective effort that everytime we encountered this, the cops were called until they got the message that they couldn't block intersections illegally. They hired cops a time or two now they just follow the law.

That’s a pretty sad thing to do. Maybe grow up a little bit?

I have never encountered such a thing. Is this common in your area? Like they bikes were on the cross street and ran the red light, or they came from behind you, and the lead guy blocked you from proceeding to let a


Not up here in Ellick. The first was down there on the road from Scott to the West side of Maurice, there are some four ways on that road and they had them blocked off....not really a big deal out in the sticks, but I just can not understand how they think they can block off intersections in busier areas.

You're talking about motorcycles, not bicycles, right? Seems like from some of the comments people think you're talking about bicyclists.

Sounds like the same assholes that ride 4-wheelers in large groups through town, stopping traffic illegally.

I would sit and listen and feel it when they pass.

Stopped for a Biker Funeral procession.Shook the car when they passed.

Motorcycles. Loud ones. With people wearing helmets with stickers all over em

The man blocking the street on the opposite side of me had his old lady on the back. The combined weight was like 700.

The guy blocking my side was a leprechaun

Amazing what a steel bumper does to a human body.

Bikers are dumb if they try shite against a 2 ton vehicle

Same thing happened to me a month or two back at the intersection of Old Jefferson and Stumberg where it now goes to Woman’s Hospital. Douches on bikes kept coming through the intersection for five minutes even though we had the green light. People were honking and they would just give the middle finger and keep on a coming. A mess of dumbassery it was.

It’s more important for him to pitch a hissy fit in front of his kids instead of making it a teachable moment about patience.


ETA: Not condoning what the bikers are doing, but OP overreacted IMO.

Lets get this straight, you support the guy blocking traffic.

1.) You indicate I threw a hissy fit, please confirm what I posted that indictes I threw a fit? I did have a biker illegally charge up to my front bumper and slam on his brakes and scream. That was not me, you must have been confused by my story. I will talk slower in a special thread just for you next time.

2.) Overreacting? By what way did I overreact? Was it the lawful driving on state roads that was an over reaction. Or a post on a website 48 hours post that described the situation?

Possibly, but I am not going to kill a person over such..I am damn near 50, I dont even want to meet at Sonic. But bikers absolutely suck.

Could you type slower?


Apologies if I mischaracterized your being “pissed off” and driving around an illegal roadblock as a hissy fit, it seemed to strike a nerve.

This isn’t an everyday occurrence and it wasn’t worth your time being mad then or now rehashing in a thread IMO.

Sounds like an enormous problem that you should be highly concerned about. They’ve taken minutes of your life that you’ll never get back,
