I posted a video a while back about a confrontation with some of these assholes and it took off a bit on Twitter. Someone from ch.2 found it and came to interview me. I sent him the post on here from yesterday as well.
I'm not 100% sure when it's airing yet but he said he should know by 9:30 tonight and will let me know. I'll update here when I find out.
Not super optimistic that anything will be done, but at least it's getting some exposure.
Also, of course they caught me on a day when I was completely slumming it. 😂 If you see the special, I swear I clean up nicely.
Update: Here it is! https://cbsloc.al/3e4RjBI
I have a small farm, and when I borrowed the neighbour's ATV to do some moving around of stuff I was surprised at wifey's enthusiasm of it over the tractor. It even got to the point where we started looking at getting one of our own.
Now, being an EV enthusiast I naturally started looking at the electric alternatives, but I was surprised there were very few. I can imagine some reasons why, the ATV market is smaller, people who use ATVs might be a bit more likely to not like EVs, the "nerd" factor is not as big as in the car market, etc etc. But still? Is there a tried-and-true EV ATV brand that my google algo is not recommending, or is the market as new as it seems? I see a Fully Charged video from four years ago on Youtube, but not much more. The "Eco Charger" featured seems like the only european option, but buying from the UK is, well, you know...
So I guess the quads and dirt bikes on public roads are here to stay.
I saw a group of 20 tearing it up around PNC Park yesterday with a city cop sitting in his Explorer doing nothing.
About 4 days ago, there were like 100 quads and dirt bikes in Oakland….nuts!
So last year I did a 70.3 relay and was the biker. I have a redshift aero seat post on a road bike. Setup has worked well but this year I’m trying to do a 70.3 so I’ve been doing longer bricks. Whenever I do around 2 hours and then try to run my quads are cramping like crazy. No real issues after shorter rides
Would sliding my seat back just a little help take some of the pressure off my quads or focus more on stretching & good hydration. I would say my stretching in general needs some improvement and more focus.
Man, since I've learned this, I can't stop wheeling around!
You can do them by pressing "Shift" (so I assume whatever is your Sprint button on console), you'll pull up the front of the quad, and it works in the air also!
Does anyone know any places in Batumi to rent quad bikes and be able to just drive around somewhere for fun? So not just following someone around an area?
Visited New Park Brewing Sunday (from Fairfield county) and no sooner did we get off 84 when we saw packs of dirt bikes and quads (on roads). Even while sitting outside eating they were going by. A few times cops would pass going other direction and seemingly were not turning around to catch them. I can’t believe this is legal?
It's getting beyond ridiculous, and I have yet to hear anyone in a position of leadership even publicly acknowledge the issue.
If we don't find a way to address the issue now it will only get worse. There are plenty of examples of what that can look like, and none of them are good for the progress of our city.
They were cutting through the middle of downtown yesterday during rush hour. Then all night long I could hear them all over the city.
The sound of those assholes was almost enough to make me miss the fucking plane.
Am I missing something, or is this problem somehow unsolvable? For fucks sake, arrest 2 people every outing and confiscate their shit. Publicly shame their shitty behavior, then rinse and repeat.
