Usually you'll see a lot of black arm bands at least.

If this was a funeral procession, they wouldn't/shouldn't have been stretched out across all lanes.

but there would be a hearst no?
You mean like Patty Hearst? Or perhaps the more commonly known vehicle that transports the deceased, a hearse?

It does make you wonder how some people think that riding with a group of motorcycles gives them certain rights or privileges over every other driver on the road. Or even how they think it suddenly makes them a bad *** and they can do as they please. I for one am not stupid enough to think that I can somehow withstand being hit by someone in a car. And if you don't think there are people out there that will go to the extent of risking your life just to get a couple of miles down the road faster than you, then you'd be better off staying at home.

On the 2 lane highways in my neck of the woods, that's what bicycle gangs do.
I react badly.

Yep, I've heard those bicycle gangs are a tough bunch!

A friend of mine informed me that you can fix stupid. Unfortunately, it's permanent and you can't take it back.

No one bothered to find out what they were blocking the roads for. All you geniuses have an opinion and have drawn conclusions knowing exactly what? We have gone from a possible funeral to disrespecting people by blasting through the neighborhood at 2:00am. Winter should get interesting on here.
