Dirt Bikes Seized by Boston Police

[Garandman]

“ Last night, June 4, around 8:00PM, Troopers of the MSP Motorcycle Unit were conducting enforcement action on the Southwest Corridor in Boston's Fenway area.

The Troopers were able to identify dozens of mopeds and scooters that were improperly registered or being operated by unlicensed individuals. The Troopers cited the operators, who at the time were inside an establishment having a meal. In total, Troopers impounded 14 illegal mopeds and scooters in the area of Dartmouth Street and in the Fenway.

In recent weeks, many complaints have been received by citizens and residents regarding mopeds and scooters operating erratically and without regard to traffic laws. The Troopers received many thanks from passersby and residents as the mopeds were secured, and towed from the area. ”

So a guy just died locally. Traffic accident on his bike.

He used to do wheelies on his bike everywhere, burnouts, standing on bike and other tricks. Used to speed into triple digits speed on his car everywhere all the time. His whole public persona and Instagram was based on general disregard for traffic law.

You think people are saying good riddance?

No, he was white and rich and the entire automotive community is somber and is missing him. Funny how double standards work.

He was also a huge supporter of calling himself a law abiding citizen.

These problems will never go away if especially car/bike people cant pick a moral lane to stick to. You can't be okay with your friends breaking traffic law all the time but then be like "it's the other guys that are bad"

In the public eye your friends doing wheelies are same as the dirt bikes doing wheelies and are both part of the problem.

How many of his vehicles were unregistered, stolen and not permitted on the streets?

He sounds like an asshole.

I doubt any were stolen, don't need that when you're wealthy.

Not permitted on the streets is a grey area. NY wouldn't allow them to pass inspection here meaning can't register either so Montana loophole was used for some.

What's the crux on the strong feelings for the dirt bikers? Is it the theft felony, the lack of paperwork for DMV or is it the disregard for public and traffic laws? Is it combination of all? Is just traffic law and public safety okay to break if you bought your vehicle and registered it? Is it how often they do it? Is it the fact that so many so it? Or the fact that cops don't catch them?

Genuinely curious where people draw lines. Just about all of us have have broken traffic law pretty brazenly at some point in time. Yet there aren't threads about crazy speeders on highways or just sport bikes doing wheelies.

I'll let Gixxer take the bait.

He sounds like an asshole. But all assholes have friends, and they may have mourned his passing.

Were there any reports of him and 25 of his closest friends shutting down highways or taking over streets?
Were there any reports of him and 25 of his closest friends assaulting motorists?
Did he ever run from the cops and get involved in a high speed chase.

Why don't you post links to his reported passing and activities?

Vague and movable line so you'll nitpick the fuck out things, but I mostly care about stealing peoples shit and purposely fucking with people for fun. As for traffic laws etc... do whatever floats your boat as long as it doesn't sink mine kind of thing generally speaking.
