What we learned:

• Motorcycles only make noise when they’re right next you.
• Police base opinions on one person’s eyewitness testimony and put the suspect on the most wanted list based on no other evidence.
• Motorcycles can go even faster when doing wheelies.
• Nothing provokes a fight faster than riding your bike quickly past someone.
• Bikers and car drivers hate each other.
• There IS a black biker gang (called the reapers), although the “good” biker gangs are multi-racial.
• Ice Cube is a shit actor that sneers a lot.
• Ice Cube portrays Ice Cube very well.
