Don't ride like idiots...

[augidog]

just gabbin'...not at anyone in particular

or...and stay with me on this...we could grow up & behave ourselves...

never mind, i don't know what i was thinking...a "free" society is one where we trust each other to handle our responsibilities to each other & ourselves...well, it ain't working...

once you put an engine on a bicycle, it is a motor vehicle...laws are only in place because folks don't like being responsible on their own...why would you need the police to tell you to use helmets and lights at 30mph? 'cuz yoo is stoopid is why. yes, you're free, i respect that...but yoo's still stoopid.

we do a nice job of self-regulating up here, but we do enjoy a laid-back environment...i don't know how i'd handle sharing the MB-experience with a buncha (irresponsible) teens on wannabe choppers...prolly go to jail for wooping some young punkster's butt...as noted the good riders (even good teen riders) never attract attention.

remember...you screw up, you screw US!

That's really what I wanted to point out. Most of us here DO a good job of representing the MB movement well. Those that don't, hurt ALL of us.

In addition, if you know of someone who rides like an idiot, let them know about it. Don't keep quiet. By keeping quiet, you are implying that you think that their idiocy is O.K. TELL them, that when they ride like a fool, not only are they endangering their own life, they are hurting everyone else who rides a motorized bike. And, when they 'p**s off the cagers,' by cutting them off, forcing them to slam on the brakes, by driving illegally, they are screwing with the people who have the numbers to make motorized bikes illegal.

This is just one more vehicle you really shouldn't think of acting a fool on. The best you can do is impose proper riding. The stupid effers will eff everybody over if they act stupid making a bad name like the ones who constatly give us Mustang owners bad names and when they cause a serious wreck or get killed it wont be much different than if they lived to screw around another day, it'll make it worse infact.

Perfectly said. Should be the eleventh commandment.

I try to follow all Florida driving laws, and stop at stop signs and lights, even if there's no traffic. I think if I break the habit when there's little or no traffic, it may cause me to "slip" one unfortunate time.

Exactly. It takes 3 months to make something a good habit.....and only 1 week to lose it. That's why most exercise programs encourage you to work out even when you're sick.

I plan on building my bike in moto-x style. I will only ride it like a hoon at designated ORV areas. For my commute to work I'll follow all traffic laws, something I don't do on a normal bicycle.
