1. You say you don't want to sit this one out. What are you considering?

If the bikers are just riding on a public road outside the village/campground, then ignoring them might be best. Let them rev the motors, make some noise with their after-market exhaust pipes, take their self-promoting photos. They'll get bored, or get low on fuel, and move on.

If the bikers want to race around inside the camp, if these are private roads, then I'd call the sheriff. These bikers may be sharp, like Westboro Baptist members, eager to sue anyone who confronts them.

My advice? Organize a picnic for the residents, with halal foods (no brats or beer), play softball or horseshoes, make it a nice day. But do all this together with camp leadership, whatever that is. If at some point, you think you're in a "jihad training camp", then you can walk away. But it's probably just families living in the boonies.

And, if you see a biker who's broken down or out of gas, lend a hand. A little courtesy goes a long way.

I hope it turns out to be a pleasant day.
