CULTURE VULTURE: Boom Bikes

Forget the Hells Angels people, because New Jersey's got a new gang of bikers bringin' some noize to the streets. The best part about these guys? If you happen to find yourself up in their face or dissing their girl or something you'll probably have a good chance of out running them as they peddle after you on their 2,000 pound BMXs.

Seriously though, these bikes are tricked out; some with systems worth more than $4,000, blasting anywhere between 5,000 to 10,000 watts of raw Caribbean funk. Check out this article from the NY Times for more pics and a video.
