Mr Moonshine - "Mr Simpson, don't you worry. I saw an episode of Matlock in a bar last night. The sound was down, but I think I got the gist of it."

A new kind of bikie gang Dec 04, 2007 at 11:15
Richmond Hill, Queens is being roamed by a crews on turbo-customised bikes. The bikes don't have motors, or flashy wheels, or even spokey dokes; instead they have stereo systems and whopping speakers attached. It looks a little kooky (and a bit unstable) but also seems like it could be one of the most fun things to witness.

The kids getting into it are mostly teenagers from Guyanese and Trinidadian backgrounds, and turning bicycles into boom boxes is popular in those cultures. The customised pushies have had lot of time and money invested in them (up to around $4 thousand) and, dare I say, put the BMX Bandits on the passe list.

Find out more about these crews and their contraptions here.

we have these guys all over the city where i live - they will stop in front of your house or at your picnic or whatever for a small fee. sometimes the small fee is worth it to make them go away also.

the stereo is worth more than the actual bike...
