The most surprising number is how many aren't licensed. I mean really, how hard is it to take the MSF or a DMV riding test? These dudes are either lazy, cheap, or impatient. Well scratch cheap, cuz they go out and buy a $600 exhaust, lol.

Tiered licensing FTW, with proper guidance and oversight...

A little 'sperience goes a long way...

Do you seriously expect the state DMV to do something like that. They cant chew gum and walk at the same time.

CA has the highest ratio of riders to car drivers, so that is not a surprise that we have the highest # of deaths.

I think the last time I went to DPA during peak deuschebag hours was 1999.
My personal deuschebagging era was in the 92-95 time frame. Wasn't a parker or a cruiser. Just your average shitbox driver looking for drivers of other shitboxes to race.
After the SCPD started cracking down in 95 I stopped going there. Anytime after that it was just outta of convenience to get to and from the south and north shore if it made sense to use DPA.

Friends of ours used to live in Deer Park and and a lot has changed. I do see that the "Bro patrols" still make stopping at that 7-11's an uncorfortable experience.

Sure they can. It just takes them six f**king hours to do it.
