It looks like a group of motorcycles stopped traffic on the feeder. What's the deal with that?

That was my call to have them do that. It helps keep our large group together has we exit and enter the freeway.

WOW! Those were probably insignificant nobodies that didn't have plans as important as the car group. I know you do a lot to organize these runs and other events but that was not cool.

Don't see why they wouldn't just pay for escort cops . If your going to doing something that big might as well. Instead of being douches and blocking it off like they way they did . Other ppl have lives too .

I won't call names. XTC4US does a lot for the hobby. I just saw what I think was a bad decision. I don't know that the cops would be a good idea. I just don't think causing a backup on a major highway is safe or curtious and these are two of the major rules asked of these meets.

I don't think anyone's life was dramatically affected by our exit...

No worries. I respect your opinion. The blockade was on the access road and NOT a major highway to be accurate. Really who cares what the cops think? Can't make everyone happy, which is why my call sign is xtc4us.... fun for all of us...because I'm always trying, and yet I never learn my lesson. You can't...

Here is footage from the other way. You can see where the bikes knew they were holding up traffic for too long and rolled out. You can still see many more cars exiting after the bikes rolled out.

So it was known that it was a bit dangerous and we didn't want to dramatize anyone....

I attended, thanks for putting this together. I missed the seawall portion because of the toll booth hold up but it was still a great time. The drive was very fun, look forward to the next one!
