And the CHP is considering filing felony charges against them..
If you have a need to block the roads for traffic control get the proper permits and get the LEO's involved..

I love riding in large groups and have no problem blocking intersections, even parting cars on the freeway..

Check this out, recent local news in socal, Awesome!!! BTW, I don't believe they were DOT workers or police, yet, they blocked the freeway therefore, they had the right..

Really, Gigawitz? Juvenile acts don't get praise from me and your immature comment carries as much weight as hot air.

There will be no charges filed, hard to believe there are so many whining asshats on a Harley forum..

When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

Youth and knowing it all.

Many times at hotels, when I asked where I could have a little more safer parking because I was on a bike. The desk clerk would ask the manager and they would tell me or us to park in the check in/front lobby area by the front entrance.
P.S. You arrogant *****....

Oh yeah, that's some real important stuff to file "felony" charges on. Blocking traffic for a moment. Sounds like some po-pos don't want to go after the real bad boys but instead do the safe thing and stake out stop signs and nail people for slow rolling stops.

Even though I think that video clip shows a stupid thing being done, I don't see it as a high crimes event that some flukes of society would like to see prison time served. I'll bet they beat their dog everyday when they get home too.

That's what I was thinking.

It's been years since I've been in a big group but I'd be worried now days, with the texters and cell phones. So, for me, I'd hate doing it.

You need to ride your own ride, obey the traffic laws and arrive alive. Groups of bikers have no more rights than any other motorist. Get use to it.

This. Funeral rides and organized charity events with LEO escorts are the only legal and safe way to block traffic so a group can stay together.
