Dirt bikes are back, spring is here

@booklaw
Did you misspell "previiously" to emphasize the rigor of your program?

Just make sure that the one of your ATV riding friends doesn't get caught by the NYPD, and rat you out.

If they do, the police might get a warrant and seize your heroin (Oscar Wilde), your intellectualism (handguns), and your toys (ATVs and dirtbikes).

Round and round.

I am not certain that NYC still auctions off the ATV's and dirt bikes in large lots to the highest bidder.   I will watch this link to see if any appear:   http://www1.nyc.gov/nyc-resources/service/2425/seized-vehicle-auction.

My quick search did find this article from Philadelphia re: passing a law that seized ATVs and Dirt Bikes be destroyed, rather than auctioned:   http://articles.philly.com/2013-04-05/news/38281310_1_dirt-bikes-new-policy-off-road-vehicle.   

Philly seems to be performing above the 60 IQ level.   

However, do not fear, many municipalities are still auctioning them off:   http://car-auction.com-cars.com/Seized_Dirt-Bikes.htm

Regardless of the details, the bikes will then make their way to places where demand is $trong.  

Some under paid journalist should do a little investigative work to see which side of the 60 IQ line NYC government presently resides.

In terms of my own IQ, I merely have reliable information re: the end user part of the market:
a.   Someone amasses about twenty ATVs and dirt bikes

b.   They advertise throughout twitter, facebook and elsewhere that they are available for rent this Saturday or Sunday as part of a MOB (see March 27th link above).

c.   The group meets at the place the bikes are stored.

d.   They ride thru the neighborhood and the police are under orders not to chase them:

It just goes round and round.   And, to correctly honor my adolescence, I believe this would be the appropriate song for me as I rode around:

Regardless of whether you should be looking forward to such outcomes, I dare say they are a certainly!

Personally, I can only imagine how awesome it must be to be the leader of such a MOB.   Let's think about the benefits:

1.   Kyra

2.   Fame throughout your social circle, regardless of whether they ever attend a MOB

3.   The ability to choose the fastest machine for the day.

4.   The ability to quickly pay off however much the ATV's cost.  

5.    The ability to extend your social network to people who may enjoy or supply heroin or some other substance (see above)  

I was bicycling home over the Manhattan Bridge yesterday, I observed about 20-30 NYPD from the Strategic Response Group lurking on the Manhattan side watching for something coming off the bridge onto Chrystie Street.  They were equipped with many plastic handcuffs.

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.

Dirt Bikes will be prominently featured in the next version of Rocky.

...they have become a routine part of summer for many east coast US cities.

I suspect this cop's actions will not be ok with those that run the NYPD.

Personally, I think a reward for information on where the ATVs and Dirt bikes are stored would go a long way.

...detectives could also learn their locations by registering for the Mob events (which rent out the vehicles for a day of fun).

The NYPD isn't real smart, but this group of folks seem like they are even less so...

Look out lady! They just got another takeout order at Hing Hung!

Readers may want to note the absence of electric bike delivery guys in Kensington.  I also suspect that the rate to be part of an ATV - dirt bike pack is much lower.

However, I do not advise anyone move there.

Really? There as been a bunch of press coverage about the housing development Oxford Mills, which is geared toward teachers. It's in Kensington, a block from the El tracks.
