Will there be trouble in your streets tonight - can you feel it in your bones?

Today I saw about 30 motor  bikers in a group  riding  threw Parksville.  A few of them were flashing their colors  which showed they were from the mainland so I got the feeling that they were  here for a biker war/take over  of the Island drug buisness. They were stopped  at a light while I was walking across the street while eating a cheese burger -  a few of them  were staring at me and I was going to say  - what are you staring  at but I  thought that would be double trouble  - eating a  un healthy  burger  and  mouthing off to bikers.  Cheers and happy weekend!

    Not in my neighborhood. You can still take a walk at night here. We have some hoods here where you can't even walk during the day.

    No. And bikers are not always out for trouble, and the ones you saw probably were not looking to bother you.

    And I thought there was always trouble on the NYC streets. Can you walk around your neighborhood at night?

    Yes, although it's too hot tonight. I live in Park Slope, a well-to-do brownstone neighborhood in Brooklyn.

    Ah, yes. Ne'er-do-wells don't like extreme weather.

    It's not just the weather. We just don't get much trouble around here.

    Nope. Adelaide is pretty quiet most of the time, and the suburb I live in isn't any rougher than average.

    It's not polite to eat a cheeseburger in front of hungry bikers!

    No. We are pretty peaceful. 

    Of course, you can find trouble if you want it anywhere.

    No, unless I get attacked by a raccoon or fisher, could happen.
