Does anyone know where you can actually ride these?

Private land only, i.e. your back yard.

Idiots, would have got a slap on the wrist or fine at worse.

Does anyone know where you can actually ride these? They’re not allowed on the road, you can’t ride them in the forest as police bust people, the govt closed down all the bike tracks like the one in narrabundah. Seems like people riding them through the burbs is the result.

They will get worse punishment from anti hoon laws than they will for smacking the cops , something to think about

those horrible little mini-bikes are loud-as. What dicks, thinking they could blast around on those things and not get complaints or police reports. Good on the cops for acting on this, too often this kind of neighbourhood nuisance is put in the “not important enough” basket.

I wonder if that was the same person who has been riding a pocket bike around in Fyshwick lately? I’m guessing I won’t be hearing it today then.
