Crazy things happen when crazy things happen

They are not friends.

That's what Henrik Bauer Larsen told IOL Motoring as he and an estimated 999 other riders rode to Lake Tyrifjorden and  Utoeya island where Anders Behring Breivik, a Norwegian neo-con whacko, gunned down 68 children.

“We've got Hell's Angels, Coffin Cheaters and Outlaws riding side-by-side out here tonight - the first time these gangs have ever ridden together," Mr. Larsen said. “These groups are not friends - normally, they fight tough - but we agreed there would be no politics here, that everybody would stand together."

From across Scandanavia, on Harleys, BMWs and probably an odd Kawasaki Concours thrown in for good measure, riders joined the run sponsored by the Norwegian Motorcycle Union, a big Harley-Davidson group that organises a run once a year to mark a major event.

There could be no major, or worse, event to mark. According to IOL, as the bikers honored the fallen near a shrine set up in the memory of the lost, a shrine that featured drawings and cards from grieving siblings of the slain, a police mini-submarine continued to ply the lake's waters searching for bodies.

“Giving that man a platform from which to spread his manifesto of hate will achieve nothing - whatever is decided," said one rider of Breivik's trial and most likely plea of insanity. "He must never be allowed back out into society.”
