Dirt bikes are back, spring is here

Seen Tuning up the unlicensed uninsured noise machines at 705 St Marks

Yep it's that time again. I wonder if their going to ride down the sidewalks on Nostrand again this year.

I was in Philadelphia this weekend and can report several sightings there as well.

Humbug. Grumble. Grumble.

This weekend, my sightings were mostly quads. I imagine they are a lot of fun to ride around all of the vacant lots that now compose much of the Badlands.

They certainly appeared to be having a great time on Baltimore Avenue.

In case anyone is free this weekend:

Did anyone else notice the 22 dirt bikes and ATV s ripping down Nostrand then turning up Sterling the wrong way yesterday about 6pm

Was Kyra there? I have worried about her since I saw her on an ATV in this video

(note: language is not appropriate for most workplaces)

In every other way it was the same scene. Look exciting? She likes the danger, no wait... or is it the camera?

The comment section is really what makes the video. Clearly, lots of viewers would like to be with her.

I suspect our local ATV-Dirtbike MOB has a Kyla, and she is equally popular, I'll try to get a picture of her sometime this summer. She seems to like being photographed.

Waiting for your chick photo whynot. Meanwhile The group now dons a uniform of German style helmets and consistently rides in pack of 15-20 bikes. Sound like a gang?

Most of them are more accurately described as meet ups, or "MOBs". See my post on March 27th.

You just need to get in touch with the organizer. He might be able to rent you an ATV for the day, as part of the adventure.

Bring $.

The ATVs and Mopeds are out with a vengeance today. 

I wonder what the going rental rate for a MOB ATV is.

Together with an after-ride BBQ, it sounds like a really fun (albeit dangerous and illegal) way to spend a Saturday.

(note, bad words in video.   Video should not be watched by people who do not like bad words)

The best part about riding an unregistered bike is if you are in an accident and can still run you can disown the scene.

You might be able to get in the MOB support/video vehicle.

In these videos, it seems to be a car.

I enjoy this video of Nicki Minaj looking uncomfortable riding dirtbikes in Queens:

She's forcing a smile while thinking 'I have way too much money to be pretending to be into this.'

For some reason, I find Kyla more attractive.

Woken up this morning by dirt bikers. Argh.

Wow, morning dirt bikers?  Were they still up from the night before?

Maybe. Racing up NY Ave. Around 7:30?

For the fun of it, I just asked my coworkers if any of them rode a dirt bike into work this morning. They responded "no".

So, I am sorry you lost sleep, but we are not to blame @crownheightster.

I am having fun imagining a bunch of @whynots's riding dirt bikes into the office. What swagger! 

It's just amazing to me the NYPD doesn't do more to shut these down.  They have very little to do with enjoying dirtbikes and almost everything to do with harassing and threatening people.

The NYPD has a "no chase" policy when it comes to dirt bikes and ATVs.

Instead, they confiscate them when they fill up for gas or are being taken out of the various storage units and garages where they reside.

They confiscate so many of them that you can literally see hundreds of them at the Red Hook Impound Lot from the air.

We will do anything for Kyra.

over the weekend I watched a group of 17 teenagers on bicycles filling up a lane  on Atlantic Ave dong wheelies while following 2 older 20 somethings (maybe Whynot_31 and miss Whynot) doing wheelies on dirt bikes.  Ahh so sweet to see the next generation is finding their role models.

Ms. Whynot and I are in our mid 40s.

....they we not following us.

I love this thread for the pithy and witty humor. Were any of you English majors?

I think we all have jobs; it is doubtful we were English majors.

I was an English major, but I have not previiously contributed to this thread.
