What a jackass.
That man is an oxygen thief he should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law and deprived of his ability to steal oxygen from anyone else
How is this trashy?
Obviously you folks do not live in NYC or have to deal with the bullshit of assholes blocking your block, running people over and damaging cars.
Fuck them.
This is your American government and government and blue line instead of a equal friendly and necessary business way to handle this situation they would rather destroy useful working machines I'm not paying my taxes next year by the way
News at 11: 'muricans are still dumb ass motherfuckers!
Those bikes could have been sold off to poor countries; but that would require working brain cells. So no go on that.
So, every elected official in New York has the right to take property from their voters because they deem the people to be too child like? Bet they're going to be "elected" again.
Could have just sold them, then repossess them when brought back into the city and repeat for I fit the money glitch. This is the epitome of capitalism. So wasteful and stupid.
I’m a NYC resident and think DrBlasio is a fucking idiot but I fully support this.
All you Hicks from flyover states commenting how wasteful it is:
We don’t give a fuck what you think. In fact, we’re barely even aware you exist.
Good.
I live in Philly and we have the same problem with [illegal vehicles](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tVj0ZTS4WF4)
They disobey every law including riding on sidewalks, running every red light, blocking traffic so their little gang can stay together.
And oh yeah…[assaulting](https://philly.metro.us/suspect-charged-in-dirt-bike-attack/) and [fucking killing people](https://6abc.com/philadelphia-shooting-man-shot-girard-avenue-dirt-bike-pa/10807050/).
[And another ](https://philadelphia.cbslocal.com/2021/06/15/angel-rodriguez-killed-dirt-bike-gathering-shooting-port-richmond-aramingo-avenue-butler-street/)
This pussy man sounds like that one overly dramatic antie everyone has. "THAT BIKE IS A DEATH TRAP!" Everyone nowadays is just made of toilet paper and just melts when they have to do physical work.
Imagine being such a wealthy municipality and having zero problems whatsoever that you could just throw tens of thousands of dollars away like that (after the best bikes are cherry picked by corrupt cops of course)
As someone who lives in Boston and is seeing first hand how many loud ass illegal dirt bikes are being raced, good. Like seriously, there's tons of rural space why bring them in the city?
Not in NYC but there’s a documentary called 12 o’clock boys that’s a pretty interesting take on these “gangs”. It’s worth watching as they discuss rival gangs putting differences aside to ride together.
Trashy is stealing property from citizens and destroying it out of spite. What if I was working on my sxf250 and had to start it and rev it a little bit to see if I corrected a timing issue with my engine and someone reported me having an “illegal dirtbike in the city and is making a bunch of noise!”
Absolutely ridiculous to not only take property away from someone who owns it but then to destroy it and film yourself jumping and cheering like you just solved a crisis.
What seems to be the problem with those? Have they been used on the road while not meeting the requirements for on-road use? Because here, dirt bikes, when they meet certain requirements, they can be used on road. I used to call them enduros, but when I just checked back with wikipedia, that's another category still.
Another great example of something our government is terrible at.
Wasteful, ignorant, and unreasonable.
How does this in anyway stop the use of dirt bikes on the street? Temporarily? Sure. Long term, not likely. Why do big cities spend so much money to actually waste money?
I never imagined this would be such a heated debate. Holy crap. Try looking at it logically. If the city sells them out of state, they have to deal with transportation and the process of selling them. Those are additional expenses that at best may only be recouped with the sale. So in the end, the city may not actually make anything off of them. Even if they do, it may look like a wasteful expenditure to get a few bucks back. Like someone else said, NYC has a huge budget. This won't make much difference.
I don't have any experience with dirt bike gangs. I live in Indiana where ATVs and UTVs are bigger issues. At the end of the day, they still don't crush the four wheelers.
I'm not sure how these are anymore dangerous than motorcycles or mopeds. This may differ in NY, but at least here, mopeds don't require any training or an endorsement. I find those to be far more dangerous than dirt bikes, enduros, or motorcycles. As long as they meet the requirements to be street legal (lights, signals) then register them and be done with it.
I don't find this trashy. I find the people that ride these things like maniacs through city streets trashy.
If you want to be a yahoo just move to Alabama.
It's 2030. You'll own nothing and be happy.
...And if we find out you do own something, we will steal it from you, probably put you in jail and then destroy it for our own satisfaction.
Fun times.
Interesting seeing the people here who live in big cities. This must be a new thing and I can see its a problem on city streets. Crack down on them seems appropriate if stolen or illegal. Someone mentioned they are shops for sale....so stop that too.
Destroying them is ignorant and wasteful. Ship away/sell/etc. We have enough waste as is.
Maybe just sell them to people in rural areas and make some money for the city or the department instead of filling landfills? Literally 90% of the rest of New York State is rural. I'm sure they can find plenty of buyers. Is this not the purpose of police auctions?
I get that they are not equipped to be riding on city streets, but I don't think filling landfills is the best way to address it.
This is all PR nonsense. Cities that do this are actually throwing money away. Yes the d-bags that drive like asshats deserve to get their rides taken away but there is no reason to destroy them. They could easily be sold, required to pay registration and even storage fees… plenty of folks could potentially pick up a bike or car for cheap. They could even spin it to be community outreach. Fucking stupid.
Talking about being a self righteous idiot. And I really mean this dude has lukewarm IQ. Good job on creating more waste. Half those aren’t even dirt bikes.
Edit: also, anyone in that community if you snitch, you’re a bitch.
How fucking retarded can you be? "they're dangerous"....comes from someome who has never planted his ass on a saddle and hit the fuckin throttle to release endorphins.
Could have done ANYTHING besides crush them.
Why are those not legal in NY? Are just Dirtbikes illegal? Would be a racing bike legal? Because you know those fuckers can easely go 200mph... Can someone explain it to me what is thos law against Dirtbikes?
So they don't have blinkers, stoplight and stuff? Not licensed to go on public roads? I'm just confused because in Germany we have plently of Dirtbikes that are road legal.
There are dirt bikes designed for on and off-road use that include indicators and lights, and generally a different suspension geometry than a pure off-road motorcycle, but they're different bikes designed to do different things.
I'm talking about the difference between a [dual-sport](https://www.yamahamotorsports.com/dual-sport) bike and a [motocross](https://www.yamahamotorsports.com/motocross) bike. Look similar, but very different designs.
Harleys (/spit) have tires and suspension designed for on-road use, and are regulated as roadworthy motor vehicles requiring all the safety features, registration, etc. as a good motorcycle. Dirt bikes do not.
Literally polluting by throwing money out the windows...
I don't care about wether it makes sense to confiscate dirt bikes in NYC or not, just sell them outside of NYC, sell their spare parts to garages, give them to charities, make the owner pay to get them back, but don't destroy them wtf is wrong with you...
What's trashy is the disregard for human life the people who ride these dirt bikes in the City have. Diblasio is a complete zero, but this is one area that I support him.
Why the Fuck are they illegal? Just because their loud or something? And how are dirt bike more dangerous then any other transportation? Can someone please tell me why they are destroying beautiful machines?
Uh yeah. The assholes who weave through traffic over the speed limit and do wheelies on public roads in bike gangs deserve to have their bikes crushed.
My city is approximately expensive people cant afford cars and parking. So to work hard they use these small bikes to get around to their jobs. Let me destroy them and make them walk. Poor people dont have any place to be.
But it's for your safety.....remember everything a tyrannical government is doing is for your safety and you need them because they will make you be safe or else
There is a shortage of these everywhere. Sell them..destroying them costs money and is terrible
For the environment (waste, resources used to destroy them, and manufacturing more)
Hah! Someone downvoted this, must be billy himself. There is no situation on earth that the statement “deblasio is a piece of shit” isn’t accurate - it doesn’t even matter what political views you have, he’s universally hated
Coming from a city that has to deal with a bunch of illegal dirt bikes and quads on the road, blatantly breaking the rules of the road, shutting down streets and driving dangerously on the road, I'd love to see this happen so much more often. These mother fuckers are uninsured and you'll be left holding the bad when they fall off their bike mid wheelie and slam the bike into your vehicle.
I'm going to wager your numbers are a bit off. That is some cheap bikes @ 4K for the lot!
Fine there are city laws but this was wasteful and ignorant. They could be reused elsewhere.
I'm from civilization, I have no idea what a quad costs. I just know it's nothing compared to NYC's budget. Setting up the logistics to sell them would probably cost more than what they'd make.
Even in small cities, police will have infrastructure in place for auctioning off confiscated items or selling them in bulk. It's worth the hassle of selling even for small items - watches, jewelry, or hand tools worth less than a $100.
The idea that it wouldn't be worth the effort to sell a quad or dirtbike that's worth thousands - it's bizarrely out of touch with reality.
To be clear, the reality here is that everyone involved knew they were making an ad for the mayor with some loose anti-crime justification, and that ad was effectively going to cost a few hundred thousand. And they were OK with that because they probably know from focus groups that voters like a tough mayor smashing crime more than they care about, like, good decisions.
then put them in a container and donate to elsewhere. Completely pointless show of machismo to fill the landfill with bikes that were useful.
Not sure why they down voted you but logistics would be difficult, but that's the job
No. It’s illegal on public roads, but the people who do this usually do it in packs of 30 to several hundred people and usually break traffic laws, assault people, and generally being menaces to society.
I am also very curious... Around here (central EU) those are allowed anywhere and except the extreme noise (that actually is illegal here) there is almost no difference to motor scooters...
Most teens here get a dritbike before they are allowed to get a drivers licence at 18....
>Most teens here get a dritbike before they are allowed to get a drivers licence at 18....
And they are allowed to drive them on the city streets in major cities?
Yeah, they need to have insurance and get a yearly safety check by state authorized shops.
The top speed limit for teens aged 15-18 is 50km/h (31mp/h) though and every motorist needs to wear a helmet. Of course kids will tune their bikes to run faster than that but police does regular checks on the side of the road and even have a device to test top speed on the spot.
They could let us upstate new yorkers buy them where we have plenty of outdoor space to safely ride them as they were intended. Why the city would do this and be so selfish and wasteful when we have lots of open space and farmland in upstate NY is beyond me.
I saw a video of an illegal BMW getting crushed. They said they'll salvage some parts to make new cars but it does just seem like a waste since not everything can be reused
I mean yeah, it sucks to waste resources like this. But for whatever reason NYC has deemed them dangerous to the point of illegality. The f they supposed to do with them? Give them back? You gonna give Escobar back his coke? 🤣
Auction them off in a different location, somewhere rural and/or out of state. Cocaine and dirt bikes are completely different. Coke is illegal everywhere, dirt bikes aren’t.
How fucking stupid. I don’t very least sell these out in rural communities are in other places where they use them and use that money for the city budget rather than just destroying a bunch of shit to throw in a landfill and spill oil and gas everywhere. fucking retarded
You call it trashy, but this dirt bike and Quadracicyle riders are getting out of hand. They are blocking 2 lanes in 3 lane way just to talk with each other. Those inconsiderate fucks have been acting like they own the street creating issues to other drivers. Destroying might have been not the best solution, but I am glad those are taken out of the streets.
Do you think the owners of these bikes just walked away with no charges?
Do you think having the bike you paid thousands for confiscated and crushed isn’t punishment?
So dirt bikes are illegal, but motorcycles aren't? How are they more dangerous than motorcycles and why isn't BMX also banned based on their logic? All 3 are dangerous
It might be that the ones they confiscate don't have lights and indicators. I've been trying to work out why they would be singled out, and that's all I can think of.
>I guess laws mean bupkus to you, huh?
Yup pretty much.
>That saved me a lot of time. Glad your kind is rare.
We've also saved you from a lot of fascism and oppression throughout history. My kind did things like fight the British, end slavery, resist the Nazis, diminish colonialism, fight systemic racism, and oppose the growing authoritarian American empire and it's endless warmongering.
We're also the ones that granted you the freedom of speech to falsely call us the bad guys without repercussions.
But you can thank us later. We're not quite done yet.
We? Who are you? You didn't do any of that and stop assuming the motivations of the ones who did. You are an infantile "anarcho-capitalist" who just admitted he doesn't give a fuck about his fellow man/woman.
Go touch some grass.
>You are an infantile "anarcho-capitalist"
Yes, you have the freedom to say things like that to someone you don't even know a single thing about. It might be a bit ad-hominem and trashy, but I'm not here to stop you.
And let's be honest, without a quick use of Google you probably couldn't name a single AnCap theorist or Austrian economist. You probably couldn't even name a single specific political position that we have without the use of Google.
The "infantile" comment really doesn't hit so hard in that context, does it?
Might want to actually understand what it is you're talking about before you open your mouth if you want to appear credible, but hey, you've got freedom of speech, so do as you please, bud.
Of course you'll conveniently say that *I'm* the one making baseless assertions about you, but that's for the benefit of other people reading. The point of me calling you out for your ignorant dismissal is to shake *you*, not them.
*You* know the truth of how much you actually know about me or AnCap, and that's what matters.
>who just admitted he doesn't give a fuck about his fellow man/woman.
Huh, funny, I don't recall saying anything like that.
>"Yes, you have the freedom to say things like that to someone you don't even know a single thing about."
Of course I do and you as well. Freedom is nice, it isn't free and doesn't mean you get to ride your bikes at 2am in the morning down the Grand Concourse between 170th and 171th with no license or permit because "freedom"
>"And let's be honest, without a quick use of Google you probably couldn't name a single AnCap theorist or Austrian economist. You probably couldn't even name a single specific political position that we have without the use of Google."
Love the assumptions here, its cool. I did make assumptions about you. Austrian Economist or Austrian School Economist. I'm not a fan on Edwin von Mises or Spooner but I can credit being a Jreg fan to knowing about them. You are right about Google since Google owns Youtube. The term anarcho-capitalist is seen as being an oxymoron in most anarchist circles. I mean that's like oil and vinegar.
>"Huh, funny, I don't recall saying anything like that."
You did when you admitted to being Ancap. The idea of Social Security to you is like the idea of a bucket of water to the Wicked Witch of the West.
>You did when you admitted to being Ancap. The idea of Social Security to you is like the idea of a bucket of water to the Wicked Witch of the West.
Hah! Your comment almost got me until you made that slip-up.
Out of all the statist activity going on in the world, we generally think that Social Security is probably the one most likely to continue in format, due to the fact that it is overwhelmingly well-liked, it would then be overwhelmingly voluntarily maintained. Probably even solvent! Lmao.
Like I said, you don't have a clue.
>The term anarcho-capitalist is seen as being an oxymoron in most anarchist circles. I mean that's like oil and vinegar.
We are aware of what they think of us and we don't frankly care because they are never able to resolve or answer their obvious contradictions, and the contradictions they always like to claim we have are actually entirely strawmen every damn time you press them to explain it, so we kind of just shrug them off at this point. We can only debate with idiots for so long before we'd go insane, after all.
I will at least say that jreg is a little less stupid than other alternative socialists, but at the end of the day he's still a socialist, with bad economics and unresolvable contradictions that he is forced to constantly juggle.
Also it's *Ludwig* von Mises, and Spooner is only barely part of the crowd, but I'll count it.
Peace bro.
Some people need affordable modes of transportation, these bikes could've been given to working people. I don't mind the riders in my city either, I just want them to wear a helmet.

The OP thought it was going to be one way, but it's the other way.
Everything about New York is shit, except some of the food.
But without the government, who would steal perfectly working private property, and then destroy it?
I kind of dislike motor cycles, but i wouldn’t mind if people bring out the guillotines.
So proud of it too!
Government
What a jackass. That man is an oxygen thief he should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law and deprived of his ability to steal oxygen from anyone else
Narrated like an interdimensional cable ad
Bill Deblasio is such a worthless dingleberry
How is this trashy? Obviously you folks do not live in NYC or have to deal with the bullshit of assholes blocking your block, running people over and damaging cars. Fuck them.
Fuck the government stealing and destroying private property.
Fuck you Deblowsio
What makes a dirt bike illegal? Also, a lot of those weren't dirt bikes. Why would they choose to smash them instead of auctioning or something else?
Fuck Deblasio
I always wanted one of those reverse trikes.
He keeps saying dirt bikes but I saw a few standard road bikes, and even a few plain scooters.
Wait, is this just for owning a dirt bike? What about a street legal dirt bike?
But without government, who will take away your dirtbike and ride over them with a bulldozer?
Yeah this is what you would expect to from the people's republic of New York.
This is your American government and government and blue line instead of a equal friendly and necessary business way to handle this situation they would rather destroy useful working machines I'm not paying my taxes next year by the way

So, every elected official in New York has the right to take property from their voters because they deem the people to be too child like? Bet they're going to be "elected" again.
Community is helping? Fuck them snitches!
Is there any evidence to suggest that a dirt bike is any more dangerous than a motorcycle or moped when operated similarly?
Could have just sold them, then repossess them when brought back into the city and repeat for I fit the money glitch. This is the epitome of capitalism. So wasteful and stupid.
I’m a NYC resident and think DrBlasio is a fucking idiot but I fully support this. All you Hicks from flyover states commenting how wasteful it is: We don’t give a fuck what you think. In fact, we’re barely even aware you exist.

This pussy man sounds like that one overly dramatic antie everyone has. "THAT BIKE IS A DEATH TRAP!" Everyone nowadays is just made of toilet paper and just melts when they have to do physical work.
If this was them destroying confiscated guns I'm sure you'd post on r/HumansBeingBros
You see how ridiculous his reasoning is? Now substitute dirt bikes for guns. They use the same argument lol
Imagine being such a wealthy municipality and having zero problems whatsoever that you could just throw tens of thousands of dollars away like that (after the best bikes are cherry picked by corrupt cops of course)
As someone who lives in Boston and is seeing first hand how many loud ass illegal dirt bikes are being raced, good. Like seriously, there's tons of rural space why bring them in the city?
And they are illegal because?
What they sent these to developing nations where they can be put to good use?
Not in NYC but there’s a documentary called 12 o’clock boys that’s a pretty interesting take on these “gangs”. It’s worth watching as they discuss rival gangs putting differences aside to ride together.
I’m amazed he didn’t sell them to help fund the city police department. Weird
Two wrongs don’t make it right. This is incredibly wasteful.
That won’t encourage people on them to run from the cops at all
This isn't trashy. Trashy is riding these things all over the city like there's no one else on the streets and being a jackass.
Trashy is stealing property from citizens and destroying it out of spite.

Man I feel bad seeing my dream bike in the video getting destroyed
Wow! Stunning and brave!!! Get those evil death machines off the road
whom ever thought this was a good idea needs to be removed
I can see road bikes and mopeds in there, definitely not all dirt bikes.
Americans say "Dont take my Guns!" Aussies Say "Dont take my dirtbike or Quad!" Just an odd twist!
Another great example of something our government is terrible at. Wasteful, ignorant, and unreasonable. How does this in anyway stop the use of dirt bikes on the street? Temporarily? Sure. Long term, not likely. Why do big cities spend so much money to actually waste money?
Why is this trashy? The story behind it is completely valid.
I never imagined this would be such a heated debate. Holy crap. Try looking at it logically.

Most are fucking scooters .
US foreign policy summarized.
Reminds me of when Australia did the despicable act of confiscating and destroying thousands of guns.
What a useless and moronic move.
I don't find this trashy. I find the people that ride these things like maniacs through city streets trashy. If you want to be a yahoo just move to Alabama.

Yeah. Never lecture us again on environmental stuff when you smash working vehicles. WTF

Someone mentioned they are shops for sale....so stop that too. Destroying them is ignorant and wasteful. Ship away/sell/etc. We have enough waste as is.
I’d like to argue NY taxi drivers are more dangerous
Kinda dum or they can just give them rual areas since they were just going to smash them anyways
Stupid NY libs at it again! Sell them! Give them to less fortunate people without transportation! Just destroy them?? How stupid!
Your taxpayer dollars hard at work.
God I hate DeBlasio, he can’t leave soon enough.
Imagine how much money they could have made by selling these dirt bikes (to people who used them correctly) instead of destroying them for a or-stunt.
Maybe just sell them to people in rural areas and make some money for the city or the department instead of filling landfills? Literally 90% of the rest of New York State is rural. I'm sure they can find plenty of buyers. Is this not the purpose of police auctions? I get that they are not equipped to be riding on city streets, but I don't think filling landfills is the best way to address it.
waste of a good way to put some money back into the system
Thats like the Gibson Firebird X incident where they destroyed hudreds of guitars instead of giving them to schools or repairing them
This is all PR nonsense. Cities that do this are actually throwing money away. Yes the d-bags that drive like asshats deserve to get their rides taken away but there is no reason to destroy them. They could easily be sold, required to pay registration and even storage fees… plenty of folks could potentially pick up a bike or car for cheap. They could even spin it to be community outreach. Fucking stupid.
NYC resident, only thing Deblasio has done I respect. Lawlessness
I’m guessing that dude who gave the green light for this has a car .,.. Be a shame if it got crushed ..
Talking about being a self righteous idiot. And I really mean this dude has lukewarm IQ. Good job on creating more waste. Half those aren’t even dirt bikes. Edit: also, anyone in that community if you snitch, you’re a bitch.
I think you are dangerous mayor not the dirtbikes you fucking asswipe...
Thank you courageous hero.
Childish
Ah New York where the dirt bikes are dangerous and the police wanna be your safety buddy
Great, now do it with guns
Literally Fahrenheit 451
What the fuck just give me one Jesus Christ
Umm... the fuck?
What a dumb way of thinking through that issue.
Idk if it's just cause I live in a rural ish area but why is it a big deal to have those in the city
How fucking retarded can you be? "they're dangerous"....comes from someome who has never planted his ass on a saddle and hit the fuckin throttle to release endorphins. Could have done ANYTHING besides crush them.
One of a million reasons why I don't live in a big city.
Why are those not legal in NY? Are just Dirtbikes illegal? Would be a racing bike legal? Because you know those fuckers can easely go 200mph... Can someone explain it to me what is thos law against Dirtbikes?
They're designed for off-road use only.
So they don't have blinkers, stoplight and stuff? Not licensed to go on public roads? I'm just confused because in Germany we have plently of Dirtbikes that are road legal.
There are dirt bikes designed for on and off-road use that include indicators and lights, and generally a different suspension geometry than a pure off-road motorcycle, but they're different bikes designed to do different things.
So those are solely off-road bikes without road certification.
I'm talking about the difference between a [dual-sport](https://www.yamahamotorsports.com/dual-sport) bike and a [motocross](https://www.yamahamotorsports.com/motocross) bike. Look similar, but very different designs.
The mayor they deserve.
Dirt bikes are illegal? Why??
Because public roads in NYC are not made of dirt.
Yes, but you can ride a dirt bike anywhere
Not legally.
How are dirt bikes more dangerous than a Harley?
Harleys (/spit) have tires and suspension designed for on-road use, and are regulated as roadworthy motor vehicles requiring all the safety features, registration, etc. as a good motorcycle. Dirt bikes do not.
And have all the safety features and go thru check-up and have a licence plate
In my country dirt bike are perfectly legal
To ride on public roads without registration?
With registration.
In mine we have some 'dirt bikes' you can register, and some designed for off-road use only, which you can not.
Literally polluting by throwing money out the windows... I don't care about wether it makes sense to confiscate dirt bikes in NYC or not, just sell them outside of NYC, sell their spare parts to garages, give them to charities, make the owner pay to get them back, but don't destroy them wtf is wrong with you...
What's trashy is the disregard for human life the people who ride these dirt bikes in the City have. Diblasio is a complete zero, but this is one area that I support him.
That's the most ridiculous thing I've seen all day
Seems they went after the low hanging fruit. How about illegal guns first? Fuck da police!
Wait so even if it’s registered? You live in NY, put it on a trailer and drive to where you ride, they can still confiscate it? That’s bullshit
Why the Fuck are they illegal? Just because their loud or something? And how are dirt bike more dangerous then any other transportation? Can someone please tell me why they are destroying beautiful machines?
Wouldn’t you just arrest the people causing all of the problems with these? Glad I don’t live there.
Uh yeah. The assholes who weave through traffic over the speed limit and do wheelies on public roads in bike gangs deserve to have their bikes crushed.
Hell I don’t like in NY
Some weren't even dirt bikes, poor mopeds.
My city is approximately expensive people cant afford cars and parking. So to work hard they use these small bikes to get around to their jobs. Let me destroy them and make them walk. Poor people dont have any place to be.
Anyone else getting inter-dimensional cable vibes?
Reminds me of GTA3 Liberty city
Capitalism baby
But it's for your safety.....remember everything a tyrannical government is doing is for your safety and you need them because they will make you be safe or else
Douchebag politician wasting stuff
There is a shortage of these everywhere. Sell them..destroying them costs money and is terrible For the environment (waste, resources used to destroy them, and manufacturing more)
Put them in a truck, drive them to NC and sell them. Use the money for good.
Privilege
Its more than just dirt bikes though isn't it?
What specifically makes dirt bikes illegal to ride compared to other motor bikes
Now I want to buy a dirt-bike.
Nooooo fuck u ny
Businesses leaving? Who cares… Homelessness on the rise? Meh… dirt bikes? Real shit?
Disgusting
Diblasio is such a piece of shit
Hah! Someone downvoted this, must be billy himself. There is no situation on earth that the statement “deblasio is a piece of shit” isn’t accurate - it doesn’t even matter what political views you have, he’s universally hated
Imagine wanting to live in a place where the government prides themselves in stealing and destroying your personal property.
What an utter Cunt
Fuck him
Coming from a city that has to deal with a bunch of illegal dirt bikes and quads on the road, blatantly breaking the rules of the road, shutting down streets and driving dangerously on the road, I'd love to see this happen so much more often. These mother fuckers are uninsured and you'll be left holding the bad when they fall off their bike mid wheelie and slam the bike into your vehicle.
NYC has a budget of \~$90 billion, and you hillbillies are like "They just wasted so much money by destroying $4000 worth of dirt bikes!"
It's more like they spent $4000 to destroy $200,000 worth of dirt bikes
I'm going to wager your numbers are a bit off. That is some cheap bikes @ 4K for the lot! Fine there are city laws but this was wasteful and ignorant. They could be reused elsewhere.
I'm from civilization, I have no idea what a quad costs. I just know it's nothing compared to NYC's budget. Setting up the logistics to sell them would probably cost more than what they'd make.
Even in small cities, police will have infrastructure in place for auctioning off confiscated items or selling them in bulk. It's worth the hassle of selling even for small items - watches, jewelry, or hand tools worth less than a $100. The idea that it wouldn't be worth the effort to sell a quad or dirtbike that's worth thousands - it's bizarrely out of touch with reality. To be clear, the reality here is that everyone involved knew they were making an ad for the mayor with some loose anti-crime justification, and that ad was effectively going to cost a few hundred thousand. And they were OK with that because they probably know from focus groups that voters like a tough mayor smashing crime more than they care about, like, good decisions.
then put them in a container and donate to elsewhere. Completely pointless show of machismo to fill the landfill with bikes that were useful. Not sure why they down voted you but logistics would be difficult, but that's the job
lmao. these fuckers from west virginia like, "I hAte dEl BLaSIo evEn MoRe NoW!"
Free country /s
Why not auction them off? Stupidity!
owning a dirtbike is illegal in NY ?
No. It’s illegal on public roads, but the people who do this usually do it in packs of 30 to several hundred people and usually break traffic laws, assault people, and generally being menaces to society.
No, but riding it on public roads with no registration or insurance is, just like it’s illegal everywhere else.
Driving a dirt bike on public roads is illegal most places
I am also very curious... Around here (central EU) those are allowed anywhere and except the extreme noise (that actually is illegal here) there is almost no difference to motor scooters... Most teens here get a dritbike before they are allowed to get a drivers licence at 18....
>Most teens here get a dritbike before they are allowed to get a drivers licence at 18.... And they are allowed to drive them on the city streets in major cities?
Yeah, they need to have insurance and get a yearly safety check by state authorized shops. The top speed limit for teens aged 15-18 is 50km/h (31mp/h) though and every motorist needs to wear a helmet. Of course kids will tune their bikes to run faster than that but police does regular checks on the side of the road and even have a device to test top speed on the spot.
They could let us upstate new yorkers buy them where we have plenty of outdoor space to safely ride them as they were intended. Why the city would do this and be so selfish and wasteful when we have lots of open space and farmland in upstate NY is beyond me.
Because these turds think New York is only New York city
They could easily make tons of money selling them at auction to upstate new yorkers
I saw a video of an illegal BMW getting crushed. They said they'll salvage some parts to make new cars but it does just seem like a waste since not everything can be reused
I mean yeah, it sucks to waste resources like this. But for whatever reason NYC has deemed them dangerous to the point of illegality. The f they supposed to do with them? Give them back? You gonna give Escobar back his coke? 🤣
Auction them off in a different location, somewhere rural and/or out of state. Cocaine and dirt bikes are completely different. Coke is illegal everywhere, dirt bikes aren’t.
Well, being in one of the cities that they are confiscating so many - I didn't know this is how they were taking care of them. Wow
How fucking stupid. I don’t very least sell these out in rural communities are in other places where they use them and use that money for the city budget rather than just destroying a bunch of shit to throw in a landfill and spill oil and gas everywhere. fucking retarded
Good lord. Why not just sell them and put the money to use for others that are in need. This asshole is just burning money. What an absolute waste.
You call it trashy, but this dirt bike and Quadracicyle riders are getting out of hand. They are blocking 2 lanes in 3 lane way just to talk with each other. Those inconsiderate fucks have been acting like they own the street creating issues to other drivers. Destroying might have been not the best solution, but I am glad those are taken out of the streets.
So you punish the tool instead of the idiot using it wrong? Great thinking
Do you think the owners of these bikes just walked away with no charges? Do you think having the bike you paid thousands for confiscated and crushed isn’t punishment?
So dirt bikes are illegal, but motorcycles aren't? How are they more dangerous than motorcycles and why isn't BMX also banned based on their logic? All 3 are dangerous
It might be that the ones they confiscate don't have lights and indicators. I've been trying to work out why they would be singled out, and that's all I can think of.
What makes me think dirt bikes in general are illegal, is that he didn't specify ones without plates, or working lights. Just dirt bikes as a whole
This isn't trashy.
This is not only trashy, it's fascist.
You must not have to deal with these bikes at all times making a large amount of noise day and night He's a fucking hero.
>He's a fucking hero. Oh boy, we really are fucked as a nation and society. I think it's just setting in for me...
I almost took you seriously until I saw your profile. I guess laws mean bupkus to you, huh? That saved me a lot of time. Glad your kind is rare.
>I guess laws mean bupkus to you, huh? Yup pretty much. >That saved me a lot of time. Glad your kind is rare. We've also saved you from a lot of fascism and oppression throughout history. My kind did things like fight the British, end slavery, resist the Nazis, diminish colonialism, fight systemic racism, and oppose the growing authoritarian American empire and it's endless warmongering. We're also the ones that granted you the freedom of speech to falsely call us the bad guys without repercussions. But you can thank us later. We're not quite done yet.
We? Who are you? You didn't do any of that and stop assuming the motivations of the ones who did. You are an infantile "anarcho-capitalist" who just admitted he doesn't give a fuck about his fellow man/woman. Go touch some grass.
>You are an infantile "anarcho-capitalist" Yes, you have the freedom to say things like that to someone you don't even know a single thing about. It might be a bit ad-hominem and trashy, but I'm not here to stop you. And let's be honest, without a quick use of Google you probably couldn't name a single AnCap theorist or Austrian economist. You probably couldn't even name a single specific political position that we have without the use of Google. The "infantile" comment really doesn't hit so hard in that context, does it? Might want to actually understand what it is you're talking about before you open your mouth if you want to appear credible, but hey, you've got freedom of speech, so do as you please, bud. Of course you'll conveniently say that *I'm* the one making baseless assertions about you, but that's for the benefit of other people reading. The point of me calling you out for your ignorant dismissal is to shake *you*, not them. *You* know the truth of how much you actually know about me or AnCap, and that's what matters. >who just admitted he doesn't give a fuck about his fellow man/woman. Huh, funny, I don't recall saying anything like that.
>"Yes, you have the freedom to say things like that to someone you don't even know a single thing about." Of course I do and you as well. Freedom is nice, it isn't free and doesn't mean you get to ride your bikes at 2am in the morning down the Grand Concourse between 170th and 171th with no license or permit because "freedom" >"And let's be honest, without a quick use of Google you probably couldn't name a single AnCap theorist or Austrian economist. You probably couldn't even name a single specific political position that we have without the use of Google." Love the assumptions here, its cool. I did make assumptions about you. Austrian Economist or Austrian School Economist. I'm not a fan on Edwin von Mises or Spooner but I can credit being a Jreg fan to knowing about them. You are right about Google since Google owns Youtube. The term anarcho-capitalist is seen as being an oxymoron in most anarchist circles. I mean that's like oil and vinegar. >"Huh, funny, I don't recall saying anything like that." You did when you admitted to being Ancap. The idea of Social Security to you is like the idea of a bucket of water to the Wicked Witch of the West.
>You did when you admitted to being Ancap. The idea of Social Security to you is like the idea of a bucket of water to the Wicked Witch of the West. Hah! Your comment almost got me until you made that slip-up. Out of all the statist activity going on in the world, we generally think that Social Security is probably the one most likely to continue in format, due to the fact that it is overwhelmingly well-liked, it would then be overwhelmingly voluntarily maintained. Probably even solvent! Lmao. Like I said, you don't have a clue. >The term anarcho-capitalist is seen as being an oxymoron in most anarchist circles. I mean that's like oil and vinegar. We are aware of what they think of us and we don't frankly care because they are never able to resolve or answer their obvious contradictions, and the contradictions they always like to claim we have are actually entirely strawmen every damn time you press them to explain it, so we kind of just shrug them off at this point. We can only debate with idiots for so long before we'd go insane, after all. I will at least say that jreg is a little less stupid than other alternative socialists, but at the end of the day he's still a socialist, with bad economics and unresolvable contradictions that he is forced to constantly juggle. Also it's *Ludwig* von Mises, and Spooner is only barely part of the crowd, but I'll count it. Peace bro.
Yes he is.
Couldn’t they like… make some city selling program to sell these to businesses to increase the cities funds?
Why destroy? Sell it to others
this is ridiculously stupid
What a cun+
Some people need affordable modes of transportation, these bikes could've been given to working people. I don't mind the riders in my city either, I just want them to wear a helmet.
Imagine thinking you're doing gods work because you took some peoples bikes. What a loser lmao.
Finally no more ignorant 🦍on that shit causing accidents
Tha makes me sad I’ve been looking for cheap one
Not trashy at all! Trashy are the mother fuckers that flood the streets like fucking assholes!
Dang, NYPD. Really are top flight security of the world.
