You may have heard the the New York Police Department recently crushed hundred of illegal motorbikes with a bulldozer, but did you know why they are cracking down on them now?

Maybe sharing this video will help the police catch and arrest the "Streetfighterz".

Check out WorkOut Stunts, also known as the Human Video Game on a motorcycle as he manhandles his Kawasaki ZX 636 through the streets of New York City. Very rarely does he put his front wheel down, he battles the streets making his motorcycle look like a bmx bike.

Starting back in 1964, the Empire City Motor Club is New York City's oldest gay motorcycle riding club.

In this video from the new Union Magazine, hear all about the riding club and its members from club president "Evil" Ed.

Watch a Sea-Doo Jet Ski Race a 3 Wheeled Motorcycle Around the Edge of Manhattan

2015-08-04T12:31:54-04:00

Drive host and former Jalopnik editor Mike Spinelli recently challenged Jalopnik's Andrew Collins to a special kind-of race around the perimeter of Manhattan: See-Doo vs. Trike.

The battle might seem like a no-brainer on paper, but on the road and in the water, it's anything but. Sure, the trike has less than half the power of the personal watercraft, but when it comes to traction, it takes less to put that power down onto tarmac than it does to jet it into the water. On the other hand, Spinelli's got less traffic to deal with than Collins does. Too close to call, then, so you'll just have to watch the video from the Sea-Doo's perspective above and from the Can-Am's below.

Check out the full article for more on the race and the vehicles involved.

2015-02-26T08:58:04-05:00

A motorcycle is a dangerous mode of transportation. With only two wheels on the ground, if anything happens to one of them that causes you to lose contact with the road, you will most likely be found sliding across the pavement shortly thereafter. These two idiots, who ride under the tag #westunttogether, have decided that it is a good idea to ride around the City highways on just 1 wheel, rolling at 50mph while riding a wheelie for minutes at a time.

The music featured in the video is Mysonne — "Bury me a G"
