Kids today have no clue!We used to rip around in the woods for hours on our dirtbikes&quads! Thats the fun of it,-hittin jumps ,doing donuts,popping wheelies-not todays youth!How is it fun to ride on pavement with a machine made for dirt?The parents didn't teach these kids to respect the machine theyre operating.These off road vehicles usually have stickers from the manufacturer right on them stating"not for use on paved or public roads".Whats the thrill of getting caught?-a high fee ticket with impound,or possibly crashing from the chase? Basic respect is taught to kids when theyre young,I guess these BikeLife"kids (as they call themselves)missed that part of thier upbringing.When my kids say theyre going to ride,I know that they are off the road&proprrly eqipped.They know better than to go on town roads&endanger others or themselves because they were taught to have some respect.So many young people dont care because the parents allow them to have entitled attitudes-its a shame!Heres a message to kids on dirtbikes that ride on the streets-You are not cool" You want to ride on the street-get a streetbike!
