Last time I checked, unless you're in the street, 99% of street riding is illegal...It's the same story everywhere. You are right... which is why I ride street...
So - you can make whatever argument you want for illegal activities, etc... my only point is that groms learn by example.
Just saying.
You mentioned before in frustration that most cops are preoccupied in writing tickets for riding on the sidewalk. So that leads me to believe that you probably were ticketed for just that. Soo I would think you were up to no good which in this discussion you are a hipocrate as well. I probably didn't spell that right...
All I'm getting at is if you're gonna preach, make sure your ish don't stink. I admit I'm dirty dirty dirty when I ride. Not proud of it just honest.
