Been to loads of bike rallies over the years and would just ask no one to confuse the behavior of these individuals with the behavior of your average biker. This seems to come from a difference place to the traditional bike rallies I went on where it's all about the ride out during daylight hours followed by a party at an organised venue with like minded people before passing out in your tent.

Absolutely SBT. They aren't bikers, they're better thought of as knobs on mopeds. In a year or two's time they'll be knobs in Corsas, and they are probably already also knobs on buses. The common denominator isn't their mode of transport.
In fairness, when I was their age and riding my first bike, I was a bit of a knob too - and the 'mopeds' of that era were a bit quicker than the twist 'n go baby toys of these days. But the difference I think is that I wasn't so brazen about it and was more of a menace to myself than anyone else. I got stopped by plod so many times that we were on first name terms!
This lot don't seem to have any worry about getting caught, which I think might be part of the problem.
Don't think they can do it, Nick. Too dangerous. As I understand it these days, you're not even allowed to continue a pursuit if the rider becomes too erratic and a possible danger to himself. Can't see why they can't take their registrations and follow it up later though. Give the house a spin at the same time, and you might even piss their folks off enough to take the bike off them.

People like this play the law, what sort of fine are they going to get? I had a scrambler crash into me once, at night when he had no lights, no licence, no insurance and the bike wasn't road legal and he got away with it scot free apart from some injuries as the police said they couldn't prove it was him riding it. The prick got taken away in an ambulance.
I'd quite happily open a door tactically or happen to throw a big stick through their front wheel.
