Newly observed phenomena

[rclouse79]

Earlier this year I was shocked to see a crotch rocket bust out a wheelie and ride it for about a quarter mile while going 75 mi/hr down the interstate. Although impressive I am guessing that guys life expectancy will be below average. I can honestly say I had never seen that in my 45 years on the road. Since then, I feel like I can hardly leave my neighborhood without seeing a crotch rocket busting a wheelie or weaving in and out of traffic like it is some new x-games sporting event. I am trying to figure out if these people have always been out there and are just now moving to my area, or if there is some new crotch rocket challenge on snap-face or insta-tock.

Been happening since crotch rockets have been around, before then even.

I have seen this dozens and dozens of times. My doctor brother simply refers to them as organ donors.

I don’t doubt that. Seems like a big uptick in frequency based on my observations.

New phenomenon around here is the young well to do kids all tearing around on E bikes…way too fast.

Driving 25mph through a school zone these kids on E bikes go shooting by at 30+ and not even paying attention to traffic.
