Are people allowed to loiter at EagleStop on Battlefield Rd? I have to be careful pulling in bc there's been so many bikers and I heard that they mess with people's vehicles even if it's an accident, I had people on bikes there cuss me out bc I almost hit one of them pulling it by complete accident and so I left to go across the street.
They are the worst. Best thing ya can do is just ignore that entire area. Especially on weekends and after 10 pm.
Bikers loitering at that corner has been an issue for years. The cops refuse to do anything about it.
I wonder why that is
They all know each other from their Patriot Front meetings.
Yeah or from domestic violence court
Probably 😂 I feel like they're all compensating
What's a patriot front meeting?
White Nationalists / Supremacists
They claim that chasing them down in town would be dangerous.
I'm pretty sure I've seen people on this sub lambast the police for pursuing people in high-speed chases.
That was exactly my thought. I remember a post this year where people here were angry at the police in Ozark over an accident during a chase.
A few years ago they did try to catch a motorcyclist who took off here in town. Took 3 departments, a helicopter, and about 6 hours and it finally ended when he went to his mom's house where they were waiting for him. Kept having to back off and just track him so he wouldn't crash. Can't imagine how expensive it would get to do that weekly at the eagle stop. Fwiw, that group were the only people who got tickets for being out during the covid shutdown.
Well people were upset because a 10 year old boy died.
Yes, I know. And that sort of consequence is why they don't just have police chases without a serious need. I don't think the person we were responding to was considering that, nor was the op if they felt a risk of accident was a weak excuse. There have been several fatalities during car chases in my time here.
Most spd I see are in suvs, there is literally no way they could catch most of those motorcyclists if the bikers really wanted to get away.
That's a weak ass excuse 😬 but I can see spd using that one
You don’t think chasing a motorcycle through town at 100+ is dangerous to the public? For a traffic violation? You work for Greene County, don’t you?
Police can’t do anything because the business refuses to make them leave. If the business allows it, then they can’t be forced to leave. If you all want them gone, maybe contact the business more and complain.
Just a bunch of goobers at that Eagle Stop. Sorry they did that to you.
The Buffalo Wild Wings parking lot can get real rowdy as well.
I’ve been in there and have witnessed the workers try to run them off, they hate it too.
No they don’t. If they hated it then they would call 911. Those guys buy snacks and fuel so they won’t run them off.

Those guys were the only people who got ticketed for ignoring covid laws if I remember right.
Lived across the street and let me tell you, the best part of gas being $5 a gallon was that they finally fucked off and stopped keeping me up until 2am
They are pretty much always there and nothing is ever done about them. They are all rude and just seem to like causing trouble and getting in the way, then get pissy at you for daring to want to get gas.
>I had people on bikes there cuss me out bc I almost hit one of them pulling it by complete accident
PeeWee that you!?
Really bothered by one error 😬 prolly one of the douchebags huh?
It's a reference to PeeWee's Big Adventure, I don't think it was meant as an insult.
Oh I'm sorry I haven't seen what you're talking about my apologies brother
Lowlife City. I could tell an interesting story about some people in that crowd, but I'm not going to do it without naming names, and I'm sure that would get it deleted.
I haven't been real impressed with the clientele at that Eagle Stop either, but I go there a lot because I like to use that car wash.
my gf works at the bww next to it and she says they meet there every night
Eagle stop allows them to loiter despite the signs.
I don’t know if they mess with peoples cars or not, motorcycle people congregate there because it’s a central location that has high octane gas. Please be cautious and observant and try not to hit anyone using the road in a vehicle that is smaller than yours
Maybe the motorcyclists should also be cautious and oberservant, and try not to ride 85 mph down Battlefield until 3am every single Friday and Saturday night.
Fuck those guys. They always run from the police and drive around recklessly. I say let them be cause they’re doing a fine job killing themselves.
