I think it is high time we finally had the classic engagement with a cycle pack attack. I don't expect any cycle to last long, so I think they will have to be plentiful (and psychotic).
Any suggestions on how this can be turned into a slightly plausible scenario that has some challenge (rather than a turkey shoot). The biker have to have some chance of getting at least some salvage or else why would they bother?

IIRC ADQ had an article that covered this, including intelligent tactics for the whole of the biker gang. Not every 'member', one suggestion I recall was to use some cheap bikes and wanna be members and/or hanger ons as a distraction attack of the type the players might be expecting. Sell it as an initiation test.
Another tactic I recall to possibly be combined with the above is too use the cycles gang as dragoons, where the cycle is transport to an ambush site just off the road, say right before a turn.
