That's got to be one of the biggest public displays of stupid I've ever seen.

It would only take one pissed off dude in a big truck for dozens of them to end up flattened.

Why were they there? Looks like they were memorializing someone?

I bet these same er, "enthusiasts" will be completely outraged at any new law banning motorcycles on the highway, and can never understand why the general public hates them.
