I hate to say this but When I was 10 or 11 my cousin and I were totally the 12 oclock boys of the dirt road we lived on.
Oh wait. Neither of us ever mentioned stealing. Neither did the article.
Is what I was referring to. I grew up outside Baltimore from the 1970's and the gang of Pagans & Hells Angels were there riding ruff 30-40 years before the brothers started riding dirt bikes.
My understanding is ID is easier than that.
"punk kids"??? That's exactly what crotchety old guys say.
Where do you get off encouraging cops to confiscate bikes just to save your precious "legitimate bike rider image"? Prove one thing you have suffered from these guys. Just because they do things you're not into, you want to shut down their fun. If they eat it on the street that's their problem.
Get a life and mind your business.
I sent it to 3 guys this summer. 2 weren't nearly as amused as I was.
Pit Row
Used to be that if the manufacturer's MSO said "off-road only" then there was no way to get a plate. For a while, maybe 6-10 years ago, they were even taking back plates from bikes with "ambiguous" MSOs, like some KTMs. They weren't going out and actively snapping back plates, but if you were transferring ownership, the new owner wasn't being allowed to renew the plate or relicense the bike.
Then they suddenly did a 180 and basically said "We don't care what type of bike or ATV you have, if you can make it meet the simplest of rules, you can get a plate. Kinda crazy compared to how hard nosed they were in the past.
We get a lot of the SXS machines driven to work here, if the owner can find a route that keeps them under 40MPH.
And yes, plenty of folks have some quick disconnect dual sport kits on full MX bikes as well.
My point was to counter your statement that as long as nobody was getting physically hurt, there is no reason to be upset. Thievery is a thing that can be done without inflicting physical hurt - so does that mean nobody has a reason to be upset with thievery? Generally speaking - you know? That's why there all all kinds of laws against things that don't inflict physical hurt.
If you saw a couple shady characters breaking into your neighbours house while they were away, would you call the cops? Or just not get upset and ignore it?
Ok
All you need is apply for a logbook, fit a reg plate, a rear reflector, a continuous horn and road legal tyres. Easy.
