NYC Crushing Dirt Bikes

[Palumboism]

My opinion is there's a huge problem with dirt bikes in all the East coast cities.  I'm actually in favor of this.


What's your opinion?

Last time I was in Baltimore the were about  twenty dirt bikes popping wheelies coming down the road in the opposite lane.

It felt like I was in the movie Mad Max.

I'm sure NYC has the same problem as Baltimore, but at least they're doing something about it.

They should've crushed the riders.

They should've crushed the riders.

It could take a month for them to get another stolen dirt bike.  That means NYC will have a hundred less dirt bikes on the roads and sidewalks for at least a month.  That's a huge win for the city, the Mayor, Kawasaki, Suzuki, and Yamaha. 

The only drawback is an increase in motorcycle theft.

This comes after they crashed into a few people, including a toddler. Also, they're learning from the Brazilians. A lot of scooter/bike drive bys and robberies with one guy being the driver, and the other being the gunman this Spring/Summer.

Why not sell them?

Or donate them to some out of state underprivileged kids centres

Its too easy to do good
Cheaper to crush them and save money to spend on weapons for Ukraine.

Exactly.

It blows my mind how far out of touch these politicians are.

They did the same thing in Houston with seized cars that were caught street racing.

What about returning them to the original owners or insurance companies?

Years ago the Ruff Ryders in Houston decided to all ride through downtown like idiots.

I was downtown for a conference.

These 3 "bros" were hauling ass up and down Main Street on quads.

Because of the light rail (train), they have these big buttons glued to the pavement to prevent people from accidently driving in the train's path at certain intersections.

I'm walking to the parking garage with a colleague and these idiots are hauling ass down the sidewalk at like 40 mph.

The first guy clips one of the raised buttons and loses control, crashes full speed headfirst into a parking meter. Not the small ones, the big communal ones.

No helmet, he's out cold and bleeding all over the place.

Everyone just ignored him and kept walking.

It was a wonderful experience.

I hope he died.

War against human mobility.
