Hooligan bikers stop traffic, and turn Geylang Bazaar into their private race track
This group of about 50 bikers brought traffic to a standstill near Geylang Bazaar, behaving as if they owned the road, says STOMPer Vassili.
Here's what the STOMPer wrote in an email today (Sept 6):
"I saw this crazy bunch of more than 50 bikers at the Geylang Bazaar yesterday (Sept 5), revving their engines loudly at the traffic junction, as if they owned the road.
"They were behaving like monkeys, shouting at one another as they stopped at the red light.
"Two of them, wearing some kind of luminous vest, stopped in front of the adjoining road, acting like road marshalls, stopping a long line of cars to let his biker buddies pass.
"One of them even got off his bike and stood like some kind of hero in front of the yellow box, as the lights turned green.
"I don't know where these attention-seekers were from, but they really were a nuisance and a danger to themselves and other motorists.
"If there is a law against illegal assemblies in public areas, I think there should be a law against such assemblies of bikers on roads as well."Click on thumbnails for larger image -

This is one of the reason why government plan to let these Motor Siaos to race in Changi Motor Sport Hub race track.
Sleepy Changi could soon stage motorcycling's equivalent of Formula One, have a race driving academy whose graduates include top F1 drivers, or be transformed into a family-friendly shopping and entertainment destination.
These tantalising features and more were dangled by the three groups bidding to develop the Changi Motorsports Hub, a facility crucial for Singapore to be an international motorsports destination, in separate presentations to the media yesterday.
The hub will be located on a 41ha site near Changi Airport and is expected to cost between $200 million and $300 million. It will be completed in late 2011.The facility will be fully funded by the private sector, but the successful bidder will pay the government market price for the land. The Grade 2 facility, which will have a tenure of 30 years, could host any race except F1.
To ensure the track remains commercially viable, the successful bidder must stage at least three international races, such as the A1 Grand Prix, Japan GP and motorcycling's MotoGP, every year. Other site facilities will include a racing and driver training school, and a pit building and grandstand.
The track's length is likely to be 2.8km to 3.5km, and its unique seafront location makes it an iconic site for drivers and spectators. It also allows a 1km straight, longer than the average of 700m in other permanent circuits.
Get ready for more Speeding on local roads.
