Durham Street Bikers - I-Team Investigates

DURHAM, North Carolina (WTVD) -- You may have seen them yourself: small packs of people riding motocross bikes and four-wheels, often vehicles that are not street legal, doing tricks down city streets, running roughshod over traffic laws, and generally being inconsiderate of others' safety.
On Sunday, ABC11's cameras caught dozens of riders showing off with stunts and skids and other antics in Durham and tracked the group across the city. Riders said they often get together Sunday mornings and do it "because it's what we love. It's what we love to do."
None of the riders offered their names but to the person, they were defiant of the law and intend to keep riding.
"The cops are going to think different, but we always going to say we're going to do what we want to do," said one young man. "We ain't killing nobody, we're riding. That's all, we ain't hurting you. You're videotaping us, we're riding. We're gonna do this non - seven days a week. Non-stop."
UPDATE: Durham Police Department responds to I-Team story on illegal motorcycles on city streets

Lmao is it just me, or is it hella funny that the white dude sighed when he said “we stopped for the red, they didn’t” lmao

They have been doing this for years 15-20. Police have orders to stay away from them since an accident caused a persons death while in pursuit of them. There over 100s riding in packs. Police do nothing.

If you ride around with a headlight out on your car you get a ticket or citation if you ride around with no lights on your dirt bike or four wheeler you keep riding no problem
