I'm joining the FFMC fan club-- most exciting protest I ever saw!

FRENCH FEDERATION OF ANGRY BIKERS

On our last night in Paris we walked over to the left bank, very leisurely day, went to an open house for an art gallery building that we got invited to, and stopped during a rainstorm at a nice cafe (me, Julie and her niece Mary) just eating jambon et fromage with a very pleasant crowd, we spent about a couple hours there just talking, when we began to hear this ROAR-- seriously like a jet plane coming down the street -- it turned out to be mile after mile after mile of thousands of motorcylces roaring angrily down the street perpendicular to ours, the noise and commotion was like nothing I've ever seen before!!! it just kept GOING AND GOING AND THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS RODE BY.  wow!!!!  it must have lasted about 20 minutes to half hour, just imagine the street completely full side to side with cycles so loud and so angrily roaring and revving and honking and honking as they sped past on and on and on-- everyone in the street was fascinated, and of course we thought it had to do with the Sarkozy pension stuff, but I finally found out that it was a protest against some pending motorcyle laws. man oh man, it was exciting!!  damn!!!  I LOVED it.

Its even cooler when you put it to music like this guy:
