This is from their web site:

BROTHER SPEED M/C is a club that is serious about brotherhood, respect, ridingfast and building Choppers. We build the most bad *** choppers around. Membership is achieved through Prospecting. We are known for our BADASS CHOPPERS, Spring and Fall Oyster Feeds and our Spaghetti Feed after the Shriners Toy Run.

Bingo.

Maybe it was a poker run they were doing.

many mc's ride like this group does and it keeps the pac tight and keeps traffic out and usually keeps you being seen. Tight pac lots of bikes and hammering down 80 plus most of the time. Only problem is when something goes wrong it will possibly take everyone out like this crash did cause there is no were to go no out basically cause everyone is so close to each other.

Wish them all speedy recovery

That's why I prefer to ride staggered with some space all around me.

I still have friends that get annoyed by that, apparently they feel "cooler" bunched up in tight packs.

No offense to the downed riders, I wish them the best and hope they recover soon.

That MUST be some kind of a record number of bikes to crash at one time, in one place!

Rescue personnel said seven other people were treated for shoulder and hip injuries and broken bones and at least on other person, the driver of the car sustained a broken nose, black eye and facial bruising, hee hee.
