Riding dirt bikes on the road

**glyder** · 8th February 2014, 15:52

Whats peoples opinions on riding dirtbikes on the road, ie no lights, wof, reg, plates etc. I am seeing more and more of this and most of the time they are riding like complete prats. Saw one today flipped his bike at a crossroads then looked at me like i should have done something. So i did gave him the finger. He had been trying to pop the front wheel all the way up the road, this is not good for us. They cause rego to get higher and higher.

People on motorcycles should be honest law abiding citizens.

I do, when i ride from my mates place, to some cutover forestry in mamaku. It's about 2kms on the road, I keep well left, below the speed limit and use frequent shoulder checks and hand signals, because i have to go through the township bit to get out to the fun stuff.

Loads up here. Two guys pulled up at the petrol station on dirt bikes while I was there today. Admittedly in full gear on good bikes. Not legal but with a bit of sense.
Then we have THIS

You take your chance. A mate has been doin a couple of k's of highway on his KX to get off road, off road in restricted forestry. No hassle yet.

Stuff that. Tyres cost to much to tear up on the road.

holy fuck tonto. Here we have the master of cause and effect.

But wait.
Rego only costs if you pay for it...and if you pay more for it...nah, couldnt be your own dumb fault.

(hint, sarcasm. It IS your own dumb fault)

Don't come bitching on KB when you get pulled over and issued a ticket.

Oh I presumed that you do actually have a bike.
