“It’s crazy,” said Irma Rodriguez, of Antonio’s Restaurant on Melrose, who added that the motorcyclists repeatedly gather in the neighborhood on weekends. “It’s a lot of little dirt bikes. They go up on the sidewalk, they do wheelies. They knocked down a clothing rack from one of the stores. It’s pandemonium.”

Rodriguez said police and the city are not doing enough to address the problem, and the takeovers are getting worse.

“It used to be around 10 or 11 (motorcycles), and you would call the cops and they would come and try to stop them,” she added. “Now, it’s rows of bikes and they come on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. They start passing by and going up and down the streets. It’s an accident waiting to happen.”
I have a work colleague that was out in his front yard. THis guy comes from a very rough background in a rough part of Ohio, and he's a big guy. There was a neighbor doing high speed runs up and down the street on an ATV. My colleague asked the guy to slow it down because the neighborhood is full of kids.

The guy told him to piss off and kept doing it. The guy then got more assertive with his request to slow down to no effect. The last time the guy came down the street at high speed, and extension ladder was thrown across the road in front of him.

I'm pretty sure the guy was convinced to slow down after the ladder materialized.
