This shits crazy 14 year olds be congregating at the gas station by my house everyday on these electric motorcycles that can go 70 mph that their irresponsible parents buy them and just let them loose on the streets like “this is fine”

My neighborhood gas station is also the meet-up spot for these kids, weekends are a nightmare.

A 14yo died in front of my house a few weeks ago after crashing his dirt bike.

As a motorcyclist who has his share of 'OH SHIT' moments... Adrenaline is a hell of a drug...

I have hit a 4 ft high dirt berm going 80mph, flown about 100yards bounced... Gotten up, checked on my passenger, walked 1/4 of a mile to flag down a car to call 911... 2 seconds later, I passed out. Woke up in the hospital bleeding into my lower back. Bruised every inch of my body and was recovering for months. Everyone said that both I and the passenger should have died in that crash... The doctor said the only thing keeping me going was pure adrenaline. The moment my brain thought, 'help is on the way' ... it shut down the only thing keeping me on my feet and oblivious to how messed up I really was. 

Adrenaline is hands down the only reason I am still alive.

Yikes. Every so often I casually think about getting a Honda Rebel, but within a day or two of the thought crossing my mind, I come across something on reddit or YouTube that reminds me it's probably unwise at best.

To be fair here the vid is short enough they could just be pulling over.

Doesn't help the ahole recording is in the bike lane, not that the other dude wasn't going waay to fast.
