Fact Check: Video Of 'Bikers On Their Way To Los Angeles' Shows Bikers In Los Angeles in 2022

LA 2022

Does a video show "bikers on their way to Los Angeles" as a viral social media post claimed? No, that's not true: The video, captioned "Californication", shows bikers in the Los Angeles area in 2022. It has nothing to do with events in that city in 2025.

The video reappeared in a viral post on X (archived here) published on June 12, 2025 with a caption that read:

Holy Hell!!! Bikers on their way to Los Angeles. Can't wait to see this.

However, the poster doesn't need to "wait" to "see this". The bikers in the video were actually already in Los Angeles, but in 2022. The video appeared on TikTok in 2022 (archived here):
