Police say it creates adangerous situation for motorcyclists and other vehicles that may not expect to see motorcycles this time of year.

"Unfortunately you get ...idiots who want to treat spaces likeDeerfootTrail as their personal racetrack," saidStaff Sgt. Colin Foster,acting command for the Calgary policetraffic unit.

He says an investigation is underway.

"When we do find these riders they are looking at fairly serious charges under the Criminal Code of dangerous driving, as a minimum."

But motorcycle enthusiasts say they don't want to be lumped in with the actions of the riders in the video.

"I just hope that people aren't painting us with the same brush.We all are different people. We are individuals. Some are going to think that it'sfun to be respectful on the road," said Dan Cawthorn from Kane's Harley Davidson in Inglewood.

Cawthornsays he is happy to see motorcycles on the road earlier than istypicalfor Calgary, but says it has to be done safely.

"You don't want tosee anything like [what is in the video]at any point."

He says drivers should be on the lookout in case there are more motorcycles on the road as the weather continues to stay warm.

"A thing we always hear when people are in accidents on motorcycles is, 'Oh, I didn't even see the bike,'" said Cawthorn,"I love the fact that they're out, I just hope that people are being a little bit more careful with it."

Calgary police say there were threefatal motorcycle collisions in Calgary in 2015, plus another one that took place in a parking lot.
