Actually, Tingley is my last name. It's just random coincidence that I live about a quarter-mile from Tingley St. The photo was taken off the Miguel/Richland overpass, which is a little farther north. I do have a few other photos that I didn't put up, since they pretty much all look the same to me. If people are seriously interested in counting Harleys, I'll put them up.

Helicopters (presumably news and cops) over the 280 and The Sunnyside scared the beegeezus out of some folks at home here today... We never get a presence like that when armed robbers are stabbing & kidnapping a store owner in Glen Park .... 'tingley''s sn, and street name make me flutter . . .

Maybe I'm being fooled, but I think I see at least 5 Harleys in that photo.

and not a Harley in the entire photo... : ( I think this was the Hecks Angels on their weekly cruise through Redwood City.

Ha, -full face helmets - at least 1 BMW - several japanese bikes kind of funny that such a big deal was made of the notorious Hells Angels coming to town. They'll all go home to their lawyer/doctor/accountant jobs tomorrow. Wish I'd been out to see them ride though.

SB San Jose Avenue near Tingley (hence the flickr user's sn).

more pics please! I saw them near the ferry building and it did take as long as everyone is suggesting for them to pass. It was pretty damn cool.

Actually, this is on San Jose Ave through the Bernal Cut. The 280 on-ramp is about a quarter-mile ahead. Also, rather oddly, they were riding south when the photo was taken (about 12:30pm). So apparently they were just cruising the city or else showing up very late to the funeral.
