Reply to comment by TheDelig in A father and his kid bonding on a fine monday morning by firecartier

you're absolutely right about a motorbike of either kind begging for bad behavior. that's one reason why riding dirtbikes in an area with high population density, like Baltimore, is just a bad idea to begin with. riding in a rural area, you're more likely to hurt yourself, which I'm more accepting of. when you start endangering others, that's where the "kids will be kids" argument that some make falls short.

That's not my point. People don't choose where to be born. I enjoyed it as a kid and refuse to be a hypocrite about it. That's it. I choose myself to let them enjoy themselves and wish them well. How others feel about it is not my concern.

So why are you sharing this with everyone here on this sub?

Just giving my perspective as a former rural dirt bike, and current road bike, rider.

not all activities are the same everywhere. if I grew up target shooting in my back yard, that does not mean it's ok to do so in a city.

as the phrase goes: your right to swing your arms stops at someone else's face.

Ok. I'm not telling you what to believe. I'm just stating my own opinion on the matter.
