    People arguing over what is working class. ?

    I suppose it's because it occurs mostly on what would be deemed working class areas.

    These idiots it their irresponsible parents would not work in a fit.

    The problem then arose because one person could not understand how a poster who said they were working class had horse riding lessons. Particularly as said person had no time for this anti social crap.

    Why would you need tax and insurance and show a receipt for the bike at an off road track? It kind of defies the point.

    I think you're talking rubbish by the way. To insure a bike it needs to be road legal. Those bikes didn't have headlights or indicators. Or road tyres

    The bikes in that clip are not taxed at all and are not near road legal. The riders should have a race license to get out on the track for the day.

    This is all nonsense. Most don’t even have licenses. And even if it was fully legal wheelieng up a foot path isn’t


    So you don't need a license or insurance to own a motorbike? If it has no indicators you're good to go no tax or insurance necessary? Is that not a bit of an oversight?

    Road legal motorcycles don't require indicators by law.
    By law your ment to give hand signals and use indicators if they are fitted.
    Just saying like......

    These bikes are intended for use off road only and sold as such. You think I should have to tax and insure a bike that gets brought around in a van or on a trailer and is used on my private land?

    You'll have to forgive me as I'm not super knowledgeable on these things, but I thought motor vehicles had to be taxed and insured by law, and I think if that's not the case then it benefits the ones who are driving around residential areas and public parks recklessly.

    Nope, for example I go directly to Yamaha and order a race bike,this bike will come with factory plate numbered and coded.
    No tax or insurance needed or regastur needed.
    It a race bike.
    In reality most would not afford that even professionals.

    Second buy road legal bike get it prepared for racing.this has to be registered,new or second had . no tax or insurance needed as it's a racing bike

    Are we perhaps looking at this the wrong way - shouldn't we be providing social housing for these people with motocross tracks in the back garden? You know, next to the trampoline and horse grazing areas?

    Road tax is for vehicles that use the road, these types of bikes are for off road. The problem is that the people going around darndale and the likes on public roads are breaking the law by using them on the road or in public areas. Changing tax or insurance laws wouldn’t work for these lads because they would never pay for either, some of them don’t even buy the bikes ffs, lots of them are stolen.

    I could buy a car and leave it in my garden or drive it on private property without needing tax or insurance or even a licence. If I use it in a public place defined by law, I need to have all those things.

    Most of those scramblers are not road legal due to off road tyres and no lights. So they can't be used at all in public even if they were insured.

    You come in here sneering at a person's personal account - dismissing it as unlikely working class. Why, because working class people are incapable of working hard, having ambition, not looking for handouts for nothing, couldn't be interested in horses?

    And then you just sneer further with a rolleyes - you have no comeback, hence the inability to reply. And telling me I'm only arguing not contributing? The hostility was started by you.

    The cause of this problem is a lack of boundaries and values - due to sh1tty parenting and/or whom they hang around with. I do think sometimes parents are trying but beating their heads against a brick wall due to the crowd their kid is hanging around with. This lack of caring about consequences has been filtering down due to lack of will to bother with work and structure. It's not down to "society" or lack of facilities. It's due to making choices without caring about consequences.

    On that note I'd like to draw your attention to your response to my post where I quoted you, I'm by no means argumentative but your reply left me scratching my head, I was going to forget about it and not bother waste my time replying to it, but this reply to another poster, by you, leaves me to believe it's you that's looking to argue and not even bother to reply in an intelligent constructive way !!! if you can't raise your game and respond in a manner of discussion other than an emoji, then I fail to see the point of your contribution to a discussion board.

    All reports of that motorbike crash in Finglas the other night say that it was the bike that hit the van, not the other way around.I wonder does anyone know was it one of these illegal bikes being discussed in this thread?I dont know if it was.Maybe if these bikes were being driven up and down the roads and pavements of streets where some of our TDs live the matter would be considered more worthy of attention and action?But, as we know, they're not.
