Riding dirt bikes on the road

[SMOKEU]

I've hooned around Christchurch streets on my clearly not road legal TS185, but it's not worth the risk of getting my sorry ass busted.

And this. It hurt, he died.

Dirt bike at night with no lights. What could possibly go wrong?

should try living in a small rural settlement

There's 6 or so local kids ranging in age from 7 thru to mid teens riding a range of off roaders & quads using the four or so blocks around the settlement as an unofficial racetrack , just waiting for the day one ploughs into a car,stock truck, or worse . A couple have already been given an ear bashing by a HP cop who saw them from the main road...... just didn't sink in
I've given one of the teenagers a bollocking for ripping up the grass verge in front of my property, least they stay clear of that now.
But one of the families with the young kids must be a real bunch of Richard Craniums.... the old man on a yammy quad playing chase with the young kid on a CRF50 at dusk just asking for trouble

... They cause rego to get higher and higher.

Not quite "Cause" .. but they certainly don't help ..

Motorcycle accidents are all lumped together in the stat's ... off road and on road ... all included in the same stats. Be it a four wheeler on the lifestyle blocks ... or back of beyond/Motocross ... on two wheels ...

ACC get their money where they can ... out of rego fee's ... (well those that actually pay their rego)

Are you suggesting they should behave differently?

When I lived in Wellytown I had a Yamaha RT360. Road legal with trials tyres and probably more suited to getting around the Wellington hill suburbs than anything I've owned since.

At one point I had a Cheney BSA B50MX which I occasionally used to ride around the local back roads to the accompaniment of a fairly fruity exhaust note...

After riding it off road once, you'd keep it indoors and look at it....bastard things will swap ends quicker than anything I'd ridden before or since. You'd think they'd be good on dirt roads too...but no, not in my experience. tarmac only.

We get the odd dirtbike ridden in the area - a bigger nuisance is quads being ridden on the road from farm to get the mail or a pack of smokes.
