Ready to destroy mountain bike trails near you!

It's going to have to, because per usual they haven't bothered to include the $4 bill of materials cost to make it street legal. That kind of thing really absconds with my ovine. Is it so tough to put a brake light and blinkers on these fucking things, and etch a VIN into the headstock? Failure to do so makes these types of bikes illegal to use as actual, you know, practical transportation pretty much everywhere in the US, and probably elsewhere too.

That's a good point. Turn signals, brake light, head light would go a long way here. Or some optional panniers for storage. I would absolutely swap out tires and rock this on the street.

They aren’t as safe to use on ATV trails either. Which is a shame because the less noisy ass dirt bikes the better.

It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.
