Mini Choppers?

Edit: Haha ya fooled me for a second there mate. This thing isn't a mini-chop, it's a full size bike. Just can't get a size reference cause no one is standing close enough.

when littlies ride them, amusing and cute. when oldies - 10+ (enuf to start talking black) - ride them not so amusing. Its like a fat, hairy, ugly, naked man wearing nothing but BABY diapers. *shudder

You're on to it.
Seriously, I see so many of them on the roads out east tamaki way. I don't care what anyone says, they are too low to be ridden safely on the road. Someone in a Hilux or a Landy isn't even gonna see you. I don't care if you've got a loud exhaust, if they can't see you they'll still mow you down.

And it tars all motorcyclists with the same brush as you say. I've seen gangs of them riding round with no safety gear except those stupid gang-member german tin hat things (I'm sure they can't be legal) generally causing trouble and being annoying. People associate that kind of behaviour with all motorcyclists. Apparently it's the bikes that cause it or something.

Too much American Chopper I think. That ain't what bikers are like, that's what dumb yanks are like...

Having said all that, I don't have any problem with them being used off road, like as pit bikes or something, I just think they should be illegal for use ON the road.

Oh yeah, and all choppers are shit anyway

Yeah... they're dangerous... and a large %age of the guys that ride them ARE posers, dick-heads and stupid, but mini-choppers are undeniably cool... 100% entertainment.

Life without fun is just hard work

A "poser" on a minibike?

Yesterday driving along a straight road with a side road coming up - I see a mini bike,pit bike I suppose they are called these days coming up on a collision course with me,but its a give way sign so expect him to stop.But no! He just comes up to the intersection,never looked at me once....and I had my eye on him all the time....and he just goes around the corner as I go past! I can hardly see him because it's so low,I'm towing a trailer,but he never even looked,it could of been a wide boat trailer and he could be history.

But if I had of run him over in my 4x4 guess who would be to blame on this site? - I'd a been crusified as another blind 4x4 driver taking out a bike.

Lucky I'n not as blind as a pit bike rider eh?

I didn't think that you would have cared what people thought

It would have been his fault anyway
