Biker Gangs in Star Trek?

I'm not sure if this should be in the Fanfic forum or here, but I'm sure it'll be moved if I guessed wrong:

How would you feel if someone reintroduced bikers into Star Trek? I'm wondering this because I thought of a kickass vehicle:

Airrail: single-person suborbital vehicle, extremely light and fast, with inertial dampers and life-support but not much else.

And a couple of variants:

Warprail: Airrail equipped with a single low-speed warp driver assembly.

Warrail: Warprail equipped for combat w/ PPCs fore, strips on the flanks and shields. Still less than the length of a full-size sedan.

With Warp Cores

All the cops would have to do is tip the Bikes over and you would extreminate life in a six mile radius

I'm thinking something less powerful, which is why it would only have a limited range and low warp factors.

And there's no way in hell it's using a Brahms powerplant.

Don't know about that they didn't have Scotty on the Reliant and it seemed to hang togather rather well even after being shreaded by Kirk and Co.

What would the biker gangs do? Would their ships sound like motorcycles? Would they be all tattooed and dirty, or would they wear the Federation pajamas?

Well, they'd have feddie jammies on, but they'll be a little worn and threadbare. Also, they need to have a confederate flag patch sew on the back of the jammies. But then there is the entire communism thingin trek. Maybe they'll have slogans on their bikes? "Yay Capitalism!", or "Fear the Red Terror". Something to that effect.

" Would their ships sound like motorcycles? "

why not? Sebulba's Pod sounded like a Nascar Revving up when they were staging.

as there leader of the gang, he is a warrior, cares about there honor, can fight, and will proably die by an enemy bike caln so Worf would have to avenge his death. Anybody see West Side Story?

Naw, can't see the Federation and bikers in the same scene .... unless the Feds are dead.

Come on... we're not talking biker gangs in Starfleet here, just in Trek. No, I'm thinking 24th Century Hell's Angels here -- something Picard would react to with scorn and Worf would react to with some stupid line like, "They must have Klingon blood!" Their response to this stupid, typical B&B dialogue being, "Okay -- we'll start with yours, motherfucker!"
