Cops seize 14 illegal bikes

[ab]

Just got my monster out of   impound this weekend.  

season is over for me.  next week won't be fun.  that's for sure.

you mad you cant wheelie bro?

Really?  He's got a KTM.  /discussion.

I've never wheelied. Never tried. Doesn't do it for me. I'm lucky if my monster will hit the speed limit on the freeway. And mild speeding isn't hooliganism. I don't consider lane splitting "hooliganism" as it's legal.

I've forgotten my reg papers occasionally. And no, you shouldn't get impounded for that. I did find out that CA will give "fix-it" tickets for up to 3 months late registration. But, have authority to impound after 3 months.

I don't wheelie on purpose, though I've had a few accidental wheelies.

But I do lane split like a mofo, but then that's legal here in LA.

So, am I a hooligan or not?

You post on this board, so I'd go with yes.

Really?  You mean like having your bike impounded by the NYPD when your inspection sticker is expired?  Happened to one person I know.  Of course he had to pick up the bike with a trailer since his bike was not street legal.  Or because you forgot your wallet that day (even though a computer check will show you are indeed legal)?  Or because someone deemed your license plate is not mounted properly?  Where are the quads and MotoX bikes in the photos?  I see two dirt bikes (maybe).  The rest look like sport bikes to me.  You are aware legislation was almost passed in 2008 that would have made it illegal to park a motorcycle on the streets of NYC unless the bike had the proper EPA exhaust emissions label on the exhaust system, third offense leading to a $5000 fine and confiscation of your motorcycle aren't you?

All valid points, perhaps I spoke to broadly. I would support a crackdown on illegal motorist if it was narrowly targeted on getting the types of riders mentioned in the article off the road. NYC defiantly needs to be more motorcycle friendly, hell even more bicycle friendly for that matter.

The hooligans you are referring to are a problem, but unfortunately a difficult one to solve.

Im pretty sure whatever method you figure out, isnt worth the city to implement and would also end up pissing a lot of motorcyclist off. Then you also have to figure  that theres still a lot of hooligans out there who are perfectly legal.
