I'm Retired NYPD lieutenant. love your channel but you are wrong. not about my city sucking but about the dirt bikes. If the motorcycle is street legal, registered insured, inspected , and the rider is licensed, there is no problem with them being on the streets. The problem is that a dirt bike is not street legal and can only be ridden on private property. nyc has almost no private property to support that. the riders become a menace, riding on sidewalks and wrong way on one ways .violating all sorts of traffic rules in a place that is traffic chaos. if you resold them in ny they would just end up on the street again. nobody in nyc has 20 achers to ride these things on and they end up doing wheelies on ocean parkway in brooklyn. they are crazy loud in a highly congested area. the riders should absolutely be arrested and fined for every violation of the law they commit. I had not a problem doing it. Bill Bratton made the point that robbers dont pay the fare for the subway. if you think that the lawlessness for the people who ride these bikes stops with riding, you are mistaken, they are perps. they have no respect for the law or fellow citizens. send me a message, glad to talk.

William, I completely agree with nearly everything you said, but those are not just "dirt bikes" in that pile. Looking at the pics I see many...if not the majority are small displacement scooters. LORD KNOWS I have plenty of experience with NYPD overshooting the intent of many laws and regulations, and have witnessed them going for the low hanging fruit and easy collars too many times for me to not know that is SOP. Revenue collection is job 1. Common sense city policy should be to ENCOURAGE the use of scooters and small cycles by the general population, not put on a display like this that paints all two wheelers with the same brush as hoodlums and hooligans. The city has a CRIME problem, not a "Dirt Bike" problem. Catch those guys...shoot them on the spot for all I care, but don't grandstand and virtue signal at the expense of people just trying to get by with what may be the only transportation they can afford.

I'm a contractor who spends 95% of my working hours in NYC. Most of that time is driving to different accounts. I agree with Tony on most of what he said, but would like to add a little perspective: most of the dirt bikes you see in NYC are not road legal and used primarily for joy riding on the roads and the operators ignore most traffic laws. Often wrong way on the street, wheelies and all, and to be honest, I still think its fun to watch. I don't even get that annoyed when they do the dirt bike/quad takeovers and block the streets with 30+ unregistered vehicles, despite the traffic. Now here is where my double standard is showing; the scooters are just as bad as the electric bikes and e-scooters. Riding on sidewalks, wrong way in bike lanes, and through red lights and hitting cars and pedestrians all the time. Even the former mayor who will not be named was hit by an electric scooter while walking on the sidewalk.. At least the dirt bikes are fast enough to get out of the way, its amazing how much traffic one slow scooter or bike can create. You have to realize that they are not rounding up the legally registered ones that delivery drivers use, just the ones that are run without plates. Everyone I come across hates them, but will of course still happily collect their Uber Eats and DoorDash orders from a man on a scooter...

I am 55 years old and work on cars for a living. My 03 Yukon gets at best 13 mpg and my budget is getting blown away by high gas prices. Solution? I got an old beach cruiser bicycle and cobbled together a 50 cc 2 stroke engine to it. It runs great, hits 20 maybe 25 mph and for $7 I can ride this thing anywhere for two or three days. That's to work and back and more. In fact on average I can get to work faster than in my car. The city I live in (Lafayette Louisiana) has a few bike lanes but not enough to get me to work and back and sidewalks are intermittent and often sketchy. I have lights and a helmet. I stay off to the side to keep from impeding traffic. Still, the drivers around me are hostile. They even get aggressive. The police all but ignore me. Honestly, if this is the way of the world and our country I feel bad for others who share my plight and are getting creative with their resources just to get by. If this trend continues outside of NYC I shudder to think of how the government is going to act when more folks like me are commuting on smaller more economical forms of transportation.

Its virtue signalling. Going against actual perps won't look good to the "social justice" people, besides its harder than taking an bike from an civilian.

Could have auctioned those

Yes, they could have. But the scooters were private property, so the city had no right to take them.

You're a thousand percent right Tony, couldn't agree more.

You hit the nail on the head Brother ,!!!!

Here in the South we call that level of anger, RighteousIndignation U.Tony and You have EVRY Right to express it. 👍👏🏁 It's good to vent that stuff and not let it consume your happiness you've gained by moving here to the South. Welcome back to where you probably should have been all along Brother. MADRespect! In a good way.

Grew up in SI and Brooklyn in 70s-90s Tony. Left in 2004. Smartest call I made. Could do an hour on this, but the liberal idiots have flushed the greatest city in the world to nothing but a memory. The Cops and FDNY in my family are all counting down to thier retirement day.

Boy did you hit the nail on the head. The democrats destroy everything that they take control of. And due to your mention, NYC always had the friendliest police officers of any big city. Totally opposite of Los Angeles officers. And the NYC firemen are wonderful too.

Too bad they’re being replaced by super fast silent electric stuff that looks like regular bikes

I never wanted to visit it to begin with. You just solidified my feelings. Thanks

Tony,born and raised here since 1970.Worked as a civil servant for 22 years,just retired.Your right about it being a cesspool but wrong about the bikes,and I grew up riding.These guys got so arrogant they would ride around in crews of 20 or 30 blowing lights,racing on sidewalks- o regard for the law. About 12 years ago we were standing in front of quarters and the guy next to me gets nailed by one and goes flying through the air.He landed on his face and got knocked out cold,broke his orbital and tore up his face bad.The kid could give a flying fark about what he just did.They don’t care about people and were totally out of control. While I admit there’s more serious problems it had to be handled. I also agree I need to get the hell out of here,nothing good left.

Tony, the city you once knew has been looooong gone and you got out at the right time. You might have an idea of what’s going on here, BUT multiply that by 100billion. It’ll never be the city you and I once knew and it will only become worse as time goes by. There were a lot of dirt bikes crushed the other day, and scooters - yes - because I witnessed a scooter hand-bag robbery myself during the winter in midtown! Yup! When I read that article, I said “Damn” but my friend who is a cop, said that if they were auctioned or sold off privately, they’d fall right back into the hands of the idiots who were/are/will be terrorizing the streets of Manhattan and other boroughs … as the cops sit idly by. It’s the wild Wild West up here, and I can’t wait to head to points South! (Or west …) God Bless 😎

Great video you speak the truth thank you for that

Two thumbs up !!! So sad so true.

It was an under radar threat that they dont want people to have bikes that can get in and out of areas that vehicles cant go . A way of mental control so you think twice of being self reliant

Yeah, it looks bad, but were these sellable as anything but scrap? Did I see rows of other bikes not crushed? Nowadays dirt bikes and quads are operated by less than lawful folks. They swarm roads hit people and cars and have no accountability. Lots of these "dirt bikes" have street tires installed on them. It's not some kids looking to trail ride or make some jumps over stuff. Now why they won't sell off these things or even find the lawful owners if stolen, I cannot say. The same goes for guns found or confiscated, could be an expensive item that still goes to the furnace or given to Davey Jones. They cry we need more money... NYC the modern Sodom and Gomorrah, yucc. Escape from New York isn't too far off, where is Kurt Russel when we need him.

If NYC would let people have guns, they could shoot the rowdy dirt bikers and solve the problem.

I grew up in Seattle during the exact same time. EXACT same kinds of stupidity there nowadays. I escaped that cesspit in February 2019, and wonder now why the hell it took me so long to leave!

As a former NY'er, I get it. I think the issues are: 1. A guy on a dirt bike is making "brappy" noise, and many times riding erratically. It's in your face. The junkie is quietly getting high in the corner somewhere and then passes out in an alley or stairwell. Which is worse all come down to how how annoying it is to the average New Yorker. The crusher video is a publicity stunt. You know that. "See what I did?? I made NY more civilized." And yes, in a couple of years everyone and their Aunt Tilly from Bayside will be running electric scooters. Old schoolers like us are... DOOMED.

People always tell me they want to go to NY. I tell them to use a time machine. I was there in the 1980s working at CBGB. Tony's right. Something happened mid-1980s. For one thing, Black Monday in 1987. The financial system went nuts. All the fun went out of the music scene. NYC just got too stupid, greedy, and vacuous. Lower East Side was great when it had immigrant neighborhoods. There was family structure running things. Neighborhoods had flavor. It's all gone.

they needed to confiscate even more with the idiots and gang bangers out being dangerous on them and wreaking havoc but they should have at least sold them to raise some money for the city

@@mercoid nope not me! I can assure YOU that if you ever took part in one of those Rides that you'd change you're mind! 😆

Perhaps not being as involved a dirt biker , you might not be familiar with the inner city illegal stunt riders . They tend to be inner city African American Young males , stunt riding Mx bikes on the street with no helmet or protective gear at all. A good amount of the bikes are stolen and destroyed too- not to mention the injuries and fatalities- wasted talent too as many of the young men involved could be some serious Mx racers if they applied themselves. Baltimore has the largest presence of them, but Dc and NYC had also . It was against this backdrop that DeBlasio made his grandstanding stunt . Of course, he didn’t address the social issue - that’s not done anymore- but appeased his base of elite white liberals by so figuratively crushing the evil dirt bikes.

Talent? lol. Have you seen the competency rates in each of those three cities school systems? Holy crap. I live in one of them and if it wasn't for the truth that they are made in the image of God as all of us are they'd be little better than animals for all they're worth. They are criminals - no amount of latent talent will ever cover that up. As if it's only Upper West Siders that are sick of their crap. Such a specious racialist argument.

Sad when your hometown is destroyed!! Sorry Uncle Tony! Our town is getting messed up too!! When the good men leave so do we!!

My brother lived in New York City for 12 years. We grew up in Imperial beach California. I visited him before my Dad passed away. I did not like one bit. That’s my opinion. He moved backed here thank goodness to help Mom . Great Videos UTG.👍👍👍

Tony, I listened to this rant, wanting to hear a point-of-view that is not mine.... and I did so because I like you, and wanted to learn another view. .. However, as much as you hate NYC, I absolutely HATE DIRT BIKES. There are very few places East of the Mississippi River where they can be ridden withOUT disturbing reasonable people like me. I concede that the NYC mayor ordered something excessive, perhaps absurd. But, for you to be fair, you must understand how much MANY others totally HATE DIRT BIKES. (not quiet scooters). .. The comment above by William Brady is "spot-on", an articulate rationale on this issue.

I grew up on Long Island, so I feel your pain. If you rode four-wheeler on Long Island you were public enemy number 1. I moved to South Carolina in 2007 and haven't looked back.
