Dirt Bike Rider Arrested For Alleged Wild Ride Through SF Streets

It look like they figured out how to get some of these guys with aircraft, second time in a couple of weeks:

Dirt Bike Rider Arrested For Alleged Wild Ride Through SF Streets

The motorcycle was seized and it was discovered that the vehicle ID number had been altered

There goes the oft-argued point that these bikes are all legally purchased and owned. No need to alter the vin if its all above board.

The NBC article says the same basic thing, but I think has some other details.

I have been been back in sf for 3 days this week. Each of the first 2 days I saw groups of helmetless dirtbikers blowing through lights.
Enough is enough.

[Whammy]

Yea I saw this earlier today..
LMAO stolen bike!
Toss his lame ass in jail throw away they key

 

[Whammy]

A good way to get most of them. See below
For those who watch Better call Saul, Mike Ehrmantraut made a home made spike strip with a garden hose and nails.
Movie magic might work?
Then the illegal monkeys would file suit against the city right?

every time i see people doing this i think to myself...... that shit is stolen,...... then i think, don't stereotype, you don't know....... & then i see this & i think, yup, called it. either way, running around on a non-street legal bike, with no gear, doing wheelies & show-boating, just isn't a good idea & it paints all motorcyclist in a bad light. you wanna go fast in the hills..... take it to the track. you wanna do wheelies, endos & tricks, take it to a closed parking lot. riding is dangerous enough as it is without involving the general public.

You know where it starts....I see young kids in Hunters point on bicycles doing wheelies like pros imagining they are on motorcycles....those kids need a right direction. Maybe we can start mentoring program here with BARF.

Too bad they only caught one. And too bad he'll be released and will probably steal another bike before the end of the month. : |

... it paints all motorcyclist in a bad light.

The suspect rode into a grassy area, hid his bike behind a vehicle and then raced across the street and crawled under a car. As he ran on foot, he tossed off clothing that could have identified him.

Sounds like it isnt even close to his first rodeo.

 

[mean dad]

Didn't they catch a few riders doin this shit just a few weeks ago? And none of the bikes were stolen?

Yeah, pretty sure that's what happened.

 

[jwb]

Yeah but when are they going to catch this guy's barber?

 

[augustiron]

That's the reason he can't wear a helmet....

 

[SlimBones]

I thought that was his helmet.
