Screeeeeeeeccch!, thud, thud, thud, thud, thud, thud, thud, thud, thud, thud, thud, thud, thud, thud, thud, thud, thud, thud, thud, thud, thud, thud, thud, thud, thud, thud.

They were probably riding in Ixion formation.

Rubbish - the Ixion formation doesn't even involve motorbikes.

However it does require a pub.

**AD345** · 20th September 2009, 17:45

By all accounts they were riding in tandem and not staggered formation.

You'd still think that by the time the 14th rider went down someone at the back would have twigged onto something being not quite right?

Depends how long they spent in the pub.

26 bikes? On what is, by design and purpose a straight, visible piece of road?

Maybe the first one or two but you'd think the 26th one might have caught on.

Clearly these people should be encouraged to enrol in RRRS.

Hit a monster swarm of honey bees at Cave today, probably sounded much the same!

Sticky ooze all over our helmets and gear was probably similar too, just a different colour!

Funny how they have to be "outlaw bikers" isn't it, stupid bloody media!

Let's hope there's YouTube clip of it

**Pedrostt500** · 20th September 2009, 18:31

Bet they were all on Hardlyes,

Stopping would not have been the outlaw thing to do..

So sounds like a low speed tractor pile up.

same article on an american forum im on. the group involved are part of hells angels. obviously not smart enough to make it into the real thing, and not smart enough to notice 25 riders in front of them are now down.
