I live in a quiet area. Very typical suburban dead end cul-de-sac.
The last two nights I've been hearing sports bikes making quite a racket in the area.
Just a few minutes ago they decided to come down my dead end street. Six of them going about 55 mph doing wheelies the whole way. A Mustang behind them and the guy leaning out the window filming.
I quickly dialed the non-emergency Police number with the hopes that maybe there's a unit nearby who can at least demonstrate this isn't a great area to do that nonsense. I get connected to Flo Mo as it's just across the street. I have to tell them I actually live in Lewisville they transfer me to Lewisville 911?
I explained the situation briefly to the operator. She says yeah totally understand. We've gotten a lot of calls about this in the last month. Do you want an officer to come see you? No. I don't need an officer to come see me...they're gone by now. I need an officer to hang back and watch the intersection of X and Y and they will see them.
No one in this area owns a crotch rocket never seen any of them before.
This type of lawless reckless behavior is spreading out of Dallas it seems! I kind of wonder what I can do as a citizen to get in front of this.

Get a bike and join the fun. Hey man there's a time and place for that kind of stuff. 75 or 635 at 3am. You come through a family neighborhood with a 25 mph speed limit and kids playing in the streets... That's a little bit reckless to say the least.

Did you walk out there and have a mature conversation with them. Maybe point out some of the hazards they might have overlooked? I'm thinking that should get it under control. I should note I've never personally tried this so I will be curious. Please let us know how it works.

String a cable across the street about 5ft off the ground, that’ll slow them down.

You should see 635 around 1130 at night. I am surprised no one has been killed yet,

Last summer I had an idiot racing all thru the neighborhood one evening, burning tires the whole deal, he went roaring by the house, spinning tires up the hill and around the corner into a residential area with lots of kids. It was my assumption that it was a high school kid. I jumped in truck and started driving through neighborhood. Sure enough they are pulling in to a driveway. I pulled in behind and was shocked to find out it was a dad and his 16 year old son out playing with their car. We had a chat, they dont drive that way anymore and in fact I think they dont use the road in front of my house at all. Lol it was a very effective chat.

Please let us know how it works. If I’m part of the “us”, don’t do it for me Dan. I would be hard pressed to find something I cared less about.

I watched my dad sling a big metal trash into the window of a knucklehead doing a burnout down our residential street. Around ‘67 or so.

No offense intended, but with a drawing of that caliber, “road” should appear as “rode”.
