Yeah, but if you CANT wheelie a bagger no one looks at you weird.I've been around plenty of baggers that wheelie.
If you cant wheelie your dirt bike you are required by law to wear a pink roost guard.I've been around plenty of baggers that wheelie.
Just seen one get run over in Bashas parking lot last week. hauling through the parking spaces.Same here. There are a couple kids up the street that have them and they rip around on them like they are peddle bikes. Driving on the sidewalks doing 20mph and they don’t watch for anyone.
Don't get me going on this topic. There is a curvy mountain road out of town I take to my hunting areas that is also the route to some popular weekend destinations. With the population in the area exploding, it keeps getting busier and busier on the weekends. The number of people willing to risk their life and the lives of others to pass around a corner so they can be three cars ahead by the time they get to the stoplight in town is enough to make my blood boil. I guess they don't ever stop to think why there are crosses with flowers on the side of the road ever half mile. If I had my way, I would put the penalties for reckless driving on par or more severe than for drunk driving. A hammer is the only thing that will get some lessons through people's thick skulls.The reason we are seeing more of these idiots who think its fun to put everyone else on the road at risk for their own enjoyment, is the same reason we have more shoplifting, vandalism and other similar crimes. People feel entitled to do whatever they want and screw anyone else who it may affect. We have castrated law enforcement. Cops no longer enforce the law because our nation now treats cops like criminals.
I used to ride to work to make the commute a little less mundane. Wasn't a day that went by that somebody in SA traffic didn't try to kill me. You really do need to develop some radar in the city or you won't last long on a bike. If they don't see you that's one thing, but sometimes they see you and don't care because they need to short the exit line and they know you'll move.The hard thing with bikes is you can be the best rider in the world, its everyone else you have to watch out for.
Had a kid I worked with that had a rough start to life. Took him a bit to find who he wanted to be but finally was getting it on track. Moved to Arizona, did bike mechanic school, just graduated a few days earlier. Riding to work one day, green arrow for left turn and someone blew the stop light. 28 years old and he was dead on impact. That was a rough one.
