Gun laws tend to deny a right to everybody. What I’m talking about is a punitive measure against people who abuse a privilege. ---

All I can say is the guy ran from the cops not once, but at least 2 times. Someone like that, I dont think it would matter what license they had. That person would just run from the cops. ---

Yup. But more strict for a more hazardous activity. ---------- Post added at 10:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:53 AM ---------- > [@yeamabu](#): > > All I can say is the guy ran from the cops not once, but at least 2 times. Someone like that, I dont think it would matter what license they had. That person would just run from the cops. After being caught the first time a judge would have the opportunity to remove his license under a more strict standard and prevent him from registering a super port bike in NYS again. Ok. This has been fun. I’m going back to reality now. See you all next time. ---

Use someone else’s bike… Or not register it at all… If you’re running from the cops, I’m sure you would disregard any other legal standards. FAIL. ---

> [@bobbyg1243](#): > > Sorry guys but its real simple. Either buy a sportbike and use it responsibly or pay the price for speeding whether it be a hefty fine/jail time or your life. Its pretty cut and dry on what your options are. This is exactly why sportbike riders have the reputation that they do. Im going to quote myself because its one of the only statements in here that makes sense to me. Are some of you guys really this stupid in real life? ---

Laws are made to be circumvented and worked around by the same individuals that have written them. I would almost support staged licensing system if it is also passed on to a standard license. You should not be allowed to buy a trailer hitch unless you pass a state mandated test. You should also be required to understand proper loading of a pickup truck and its tires by passing a state mandated test before you are allowed to register one. You should also have to register every near miss accident with the state to insure all drivers are being safe at all times. If you inadvertently cut someone off, you will have your class demoted immediately and should you bump a parked car in a parking lot, SWAT will stop by and take your keys. Life is about personal responsibility. Ones understanding of what that really means changes a lot as you get older and you can try to explain it all you want, but it is a life lesson. You can not teach, or legislate experience. You can only encourage others to make smart decisions. Even when will lead to a shitty result. ---

I really hate other law students’ mentalities. Nothing you can do system wise will change this stuff from happening. Some people have no problem taking chances. Anybody like this can play nice and make it through whatever system you think is going to work and the second they are on the bike that all goes out the window. Or, as stated, they will just buy/steal a bike and there you have it anyways. Even down here my personal friends who are cops usually just let the bikes go because there is no way they can catch them, heck my friend was telling me the other day how a bike went speeding by him and saw him so the guy took off, about 5 minutes later down the road he watched the guy lose control and pieces just flew off the bike. He drove by, rolled down the window and just shook his head at the guy and kept driving. At that point the guy fucked himself up enough that the cop had no need to even arrest/ticket him, he just laughed. ---
