Williamsburg vs. Kreuzberg

"The Rebels without a Hog" against the "36 Ryders"

The two couldn't be more different. On one side Williamsburg hipster kids on mopeds and on the other true G's on bum rockets from the rough hoods of the German capital.
If this was a fist fight or a horsepower battle, the brooklynites would surely loose the race. But what they lack in muscle power they make up for in sheer ironic bad ass-ness. I mean these kids get arrested (see pics) and did that cop take his moped for a spin? Surely that piggy is going down!
While the German scene, reminiscent of the early DMX videos, takes itself rather seriously (see video), the American 'not so ruff riders' have gang names like "The Tom Cruisers" or "The creatures of the Loin". And anyway, this ghetto shit is getting really old.

Moped Gangs 1 : 36 Ryders 0.
