Motorcycle riders are sometimes called organ donors but anybody

You know what ****es me off? A car in a legally unroadworthy state
cannot drive on the road without you getting in trouble, but it's
still
10 times safer than a motorbike.

Would it ramp your ire up a notch if I told you in this state
motorcycles don't need insurance? That registration is a one time
affair? You buy the bike and register it and the plates are good for
as long as you own it. I think that went into effect in 2000 so that
last time I forked over money to the state for my '98 Harley was 21
years ago.
cool..just like my lecy scooter in the UK
Only you don't even have to register it....

They haven't figured out what to do with those here. I think the one
wheel electric skateboards are banned in the city but hoverboards and
other configurations are a grey area.. eBikes are banned on some of the
trails. Full sized electric motorcycles like the Zero are treated as
other motorcycles.

Around here we just ignore the law, I saw a group of teenagers on very
large [1] dirtbikes, tearing around on pavements between open areas. A
woman noticed I had just been on the phone to someone, so asked if I'd
photograph them and call the police. I told her to go **** herself,
they're just having a bit of fun, and I'm sure you're capable of
stepping to one side.

[1] I know how heavy they are as I saw one later pushing one up a hill
that had broken down.

I once happened upon a Parks ranger in the Olympic Mountains walking
down the trail as I was going up. He had the front wheel of a motorcycle
tied to his pack. I asked him what he had the wheel for, and he told me
that he had happened upon someone on a dirt bike on the trail, which is
closed to motorized vehicles.

Think they got the message?

What a ******, ruining the fun of others. If I was one of the riders and caught up to him, I would have pushed him off a cliff.

Although I've done similar to someone else, who was doing something that's actually wrong. I saw some folk out shooting deer at the top of some hills. The landrover (a 4x4 if you're an American) was parked with the keys still in it, facing a steep slope, so I placed it in neutral. A slight lean on the back and a loud crash was heard a few minutes later after I made my way down the path.
