Bike Week on the Great Lakes

I live in a small town on the shore of the Great Lakes. A few years back, the Mayor and "manufacturing association" (translate union busters) decided since there are no more jobs, having the town overrun by Harleys would be a great source of revenue. Nothing against respectful, courteous bikers, which most are, but this goes out to the drunken, loud, dangerous assholes.
Sitting on the dock, fishing peacefully, and then...

Motorcycle Mama
Won't you lay your big spike down
Motorcycle Mama
Won't you lay your big spike down
I always get in trouble
when you bring it round
Motorcycle Mama
Won't you lay it down.

I'm runnin',
I'm runnin', I'm runnin'
Down the proud highway
Yeah, I'm runnin',
I'm runnin', I'm runnin'
Down the proud highway
And as long as I keep movin'
I won't need a place to stay.

Motorcycle Mama
Won't you lay your big spike down
Motorcycle Mama
Won't you lay your big spike down
I always get in trouble
when you bring that round
Motorcycle Mama
Won't you lay it down.

Well I'm here to deliver
I hope you can read my mail
I just escaped last night
From the memory county jail
I see your box is open
And you flag is up
My message is ready
If there's time enough.

Motorcycle Mama
Won't you lay your big spike down
Motorcycle Mama
Won't you lay your big spike down
I always get in trouble
when you bring it round
Motorcycle Mama
Won't you lay it down.

it wasn't all that bad. Here is a video of the only real incident that we had. The rider who hit the people ran and was never found.
