Agence France Presse reports — The Syrian army kept up its bombardment of rebel neighbourhoods in Homs on Monday, activists said, after 79 people were killed in violence across the country the previous day.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says that more than 16,500 people have been killed in violence since the uprising against President Bashar al-Assad broke out in March last year.

American 1%ers, eat your hearts out.
They make the Hell's Angels look like sissies ....
Syrian people are caught up in Rothschild's power struggle with Russia, Iran, Syria and China.
What a joke!
I've never in my 40+ years of riding ... seen so many GUYS riding...... Bitch !!!!
what happened to the innocent demonstrators . I SEE these rebels look like Bin Ladin look alike . you know why , because they are Alqada fighters backed and funded by the Saudis and Qataris , armed by the US , Smuggled into Syria by Turkey .
my turn,
You have no idea what you are talking about, but your bigotry is quite apparent.
Those definitely look like well funded, American armed freedom fighters.. /Sarcasm...
These people will do more for a cause then you ever will in your lifetime.
The innocent demonstrators were getting tired of getting slaughtered while innocently demonstrating. Now, it's a civil war. Nice job Assad?
SingBiker you know what buddy , at least I know what i am talking about . not like most of you that listen to FOX and CNN and eat all the BS they are feeding you , I know some Christians that got killed by your freedom fighters and i know 9/11 happened and the people that did it , are the same people your Hillary and McCain arming now . your friends the Saudis AND QATARIS FUNDED THESE THUGS , And we go and attack Iraq instead , Syria helped us during desert storm if you remember , but no they are very bad , because the Saudis Qataris and Israel want to over throw Assad . you know about this like you about WMD , I bet you were one of these people that want to go to war , and how about Libya while you at , Civilians dying by the hundreds every week , where is NATO to save them , NATO already got the Oil , so they can care less for what happen to these innocent civilians . Freedom fighters my aasss , that's what we called these Taliban's thugs for a long time . look at them now . problem with us . people like you running our government and they care less about the American people and our troops . they want to send our men to fight some body Else's fight , and if you really check their bank accounts , you will know why .
The cause we fight for is to bring Syrian people to free economic markets with a democratic government so that they too may borrow money that banks create out of nothing for anything and everything to put themselves in debt and servitude for a lifetime to the rulers of this world. In America we call it the American Dream, because you have to be a sleep to believe it.

These so-called rebels are no better than the regime they are trying to replace. They have massacred their own people, in some cases, in order to gain international sympathy. The use of car bombs has also commonly been used. As in so many other (Musim) countries, they have hid behind women and children. They have used mosques, schools, hospitals to hide their weapons or to seek refuge.
As for America ... no troops on the ground in Syria. This is a civil war. Hillary wants the use of Ameircan troops in Syria, then send HRC in. This is also none of NATO's business. Syria is on a completely differetn continent.
We all know Saudi Arabia (SA) is footing the bill for these so-called rebels. It is high time SA and other Muslim countries start fighting their own wars. If Muslims want to kill Muslims, so be it! Look at it another way, if the "west" did help, in a few short months, these so-called rebels would be blaming the West for their problems. They are ungrateful but good at getting others to fight their battles.
My Turn, Get back on the meds!! Your conspiracy theory is incredible. I wonder what you will come up with next?
OK...as a self-respecting biker, I'm not letting one guy ride "b*tch" on the back of my bike...let alone three carrying RPGs and AK-47s.
Call me sexist, or a homophobe, but it's just not gonna happen.
Maybe in a side car?
Give those guys a break will you !!!!!
Bikes are a whole lot faster than their Camels . Also more fun to ride . Wounder how much per gallon they pay for gas ????
Come on RicCastagna, whats more macho than a biker with an RPG and an AR, even if they are riding bitch?
So these are the nice, innocent civilians our government wants to put in charge of Syria? First thing they'll do is butcher the Allawites, just as the UN assisted rebels butchered the sects they disliked in Libya. Next thing they'll do is become the corrupt government demanding "aid" from the West so they have funds to destroy Israel. That is, unless Russia intervenes and makes Syria its own. Our much ballyhoo'd Arab spring is turning into a foreign policy disaster we won't be able to cure with drone strikes.
Let's send them some Harleys.
Harleys would never last in that environment. Too temperamental.
They have not earned the right to own a Harley-Davidson. Carrying four guns, riding 40 miles and shooting 400 rounds does not make you a biker - only a fanatic. I seriously doubt Achmed would understood the brotherhood of bikers and form any kind of bond with his machine. These fanatics would trash their Harleys like they have trashed their entire civilization.
Hell's Angels would put up a better fight than these morons!
@ mark. LMAO! Hells Angels? Imagine what the Viet Nam Vets m/c could do!

Mark these thugs attacking innocent civilians , trust me , they wont last a minute attacking Syrians troops riding these bikes , but just like Libya now these thugs are killing innocent civilians that can not defend them self's, Ask Hillary what happened to the Christians in HOMS the town they claimed Assad troops were using civilians as human shields., and ask her what happened to the Churches in that city , let her tell Assad did it , Hell Syria is the only country in that region beside Lebanon , that allow Christians to live in peace and practice their religion . then ask the Obama administration why they got upset with the UNISCO Org. that declared the church that Jesus was born as one of the world treasures , is it because Israel got upset too , I thought we were a christian nation .
Ohh! boy.
I just dig out my bible and take a look at revelations and realize all these things need to happen! Watch all my key notes come true and pop up the popcorn and watch the show, because there isn't anything I can do about what is around the corner....
God Bless.
They will cry Peace and Security and then sudden destruction will come. 1 Thessalonians 5:3
These Syrians are dangerous! Look at the many violations that in America someone would be sued for! Sandals to drive a motorcycle? Never!! No motorcycle helmets? DANGEROUS! Shooting a FN-Fal next to your buddies head with no ear protection on? Deafening! Smoking in a hospital bed? SMOKING CAUSES CANCER!
Syria needs its freedom from Assard. One way or another they will get it. The answer will come but its sad when so many have to die before there is peace. What Syria does with its people after FRUITCAKE leaves is another story. The worlds hope is it sides with AMERICA.....TO BE "FREE"....GOOD LUCK SYRIA IN THE FUTURE
Ain't it curious how they have already CLOSED THE DISCUSSION on the destruction of the End of the World Temple Doors?
My...my...my
Can anyone tell what kind of bike that is in the second large picture? ("MASSER"?)
Looks like North Philly
Mad Max would be proud!
I'm I correct in saying in photo one, they are riding three guys per Motorcycle? Lol.. thats some serious firepower! Clearly very zealous to take care of buisness, but smart?
Syrian carpool.
