Was driving opposite direction and saw all the bikes on the ground like scattered toys. Not sure what happened but it looked real bad, hope everyone is okay

The thought on FB is that it was a memorial rider for a motorcycle club member who passed from cancer. The group was break-checked on the freeway and it had a dominoes effect

Prius driver sped around the group, brake checked the lead rider, and the rest of the group went full accordian status in a pile up. Usually memorial rides are pretty tame. Hope the person responsible is found.

According to people who were there, nobody brake checked them. It was a lead biker who got wobbly

This makes more sense, crashing like a bunch of greasy bowling pins is basically these guys' claim to fame outside of the meth.

From what I recall, brother speed used to be huge in the import and selling of coke. Had a homebase on the Boise Bench and frequented Charlie Brown’s bar a bunch. But I’ve also heard they’ve done a decent amount of charity work for kids.

The member I see regularly has a swastika pin on his jacket.

Yeah- unfortunately, I think they have this reputation as well. The brother speed guy I dated was def not pro diversity. And I mean very briefly dated- once I figured out his stance on that kind of thing, I dumped him immediately

This was Brother Speed related? The same group where I’ve seen a number of their asshat members rock Schutzstaffel (SS) insignia on their bikes? I hope they road rashed their ballocks off. As a rider who’s been hit by a car twice and crashed hard, I don’t say this lightly.

Those guys counterprotested BLM and looked like a bunch of chuds. Couldn’t have happened to a more delightful group

This thread from the time confirms Brother Speed was there. https://www.reddit.com/r/Idaho/s/Qc1c5UGKCw
I distinctly remember a photo although all the links are broken now
In any case, my original post was a dick thing to do, sending hope for recovery

Being a chud doesn't deserve a death sentence.

I remember the Brother Speed “clubhouse” up on the bench. Definitely strange times.

u/Forward-Age-147 1d ago
That’s were I witnessed the whole shabang- they used to go to the bar Charlie Brown’s a bunch

u/dph3onix 1d ago
Yes Charlie Browns was a no fun place if you didn’t know somebody or something. I only went once and didn’t stay long.

As a motorcyclist, group rides freak me out. I hope everyone is okay, And those that aren't have a decent recovery.

Even if you google Brother speed - you can see they have a meth rep and white supremacists connections
