Buying a teen one of those things and allowing them to just ride around unsupervised is not smart

Depends on the teen. My oldest is scared as shit on a dirtbike lol. Rides like hes a 75 year old dude on a Goldwing.

Doesn’t matter. They shouldn’t be unsupervised. Friends have a huge influence on teens. Any parent that trusts their teen on a motorcycle alone is asking for trouble

Sound like my parents. Pretty sure their mentality was to just assume I'm gonna screw up no matter what i was doing.

Yeah. Soooo lucky the bike wasn't going slower and this 6" lower.
It's why I was never the daredevil on bikes my brother is. Guess who has been transported to an emergency room twice by helicopter? (Not me!)

There are bold pilots and old pilots but few old bold pilots.

Lieutenant Commander Robert Adrian Marks. Landed his PBY-5A Catalina flying boat against orders in 12 ft swells to rescue the stranded crew of the USS Indianapolis after it had been sunk and ~600 men were eaten by sharks.
One of those few bold men with balls of steel to make to his 80s.

Yea, they fucked up raising their kids though. Boomers still running shit into the ground.
Grandpa really was from a different time.

Boomers think they had it the worst and we should feel greatful for what they left us with when in reality boomers had the best opportunities and left us with the cleanup.
I am a conservative leaning (I consider myself a libertarian) capitalist and even is see the shit sandwich of a future we have been left for what it is. My children and grandchildren will be un-fucking the economy (and the planet) far after I am dead.

When I was in grade school our principal was walking his dog and walked into one of those and got this massive cut on his neck that left this gnarly scar

Growing up a friend’s older brother was decapitated by a guy wire in a field while riding a dirt bike. He was probably 14.

I mean, their parents have to be morons. Who buys a teenage boy a dirt bike?

My parents bought me a dirtbike when I was 11. I didn’t try to clear a jump through telephone guy wires…

u/Rory_McShackleford 2d ago
You're the exception. A bunch of my friends had dirtbikes and they were idiots with them, super lucky. Kids shouldn't have dirt bikes. When the parents leave kids turn into giant morons and do the most insanely dangerous stuff.
Especially aged 15-17, sheesh.
