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.

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

They are the worst. Best thing ya can do is just ignore that entire area. Especially on weekends and after 10 pm.

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.

Bikers loitering at that corner has been an issue for years. The cops refuse to do anything about it.

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.

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 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.

Those guys were the only people who got ticketed for ignoring covid laws if I remember right.

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.

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.

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.

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.
