.I second the stop sign thing, Terry. don't really care if he gets himself
That was very well put Wayne. While it is definetly wrong and against the law, I don't promote or encourage anyone to ride like I do. I've held a class C and M1 drivers licence in California for nearly 40yrs. now and have had 1 moving violation in all that time.....speeding on my XL600R at age 27. I'm pretty sure I know what I'm doing when it comes to driving and riding on every concievable type of public road known to man and even moreso in the dirt (desert and Baja included). If I get killed on the road whilst riding an MaB, car, truck, motorcycle or whatever, it will more than likely be caused by the idiot texting while running a red light, stop sign and you can fill in the blanks from there.
I may sound and look like some type of hypocrite but just know "I never run stop lights, stop signs or text while driving 4 wheeled vehicles and absolutely despise the millions that do"
Do not ride how I ride.....it truly CAN get you killed and I am very serious when I say this! Use your head, wear a helmet (regardless of state laws) and really watch out for all of the otherl idiots on the road.....you better believe I do.
There is a bit of difference between a rolling stop where one slows almost to
a stop and the pedals onto throttle as opposed to blowing right on thru a stop.
Twice, I believe I saw cars coming from the other direction in your video close
enough that they probably hit the brakes, but go ahead, get yourself squashed.
I know what that's like personally. I doubt you'll enjoy it.

No worries.....and no one hit there brakes on my account but they may have for the huge drainage dips that you failed to see.
In my Mtn. biking days, I've been taken out by a Camaro turning right in front on me and cutting me off at an intersection and have also had an old Chevy Blazer II drivers door open up in my face and I was fully clipped in and flew over the door. Both occations due to those drivers neglegence. I've made it to 54 years old so far, I doubt you could teach me how to ride better or more defensive....watch your own skin.
I'm 63 and still here no thanks to the to some of the drivers I've encountered as
well. Getting smashed up is still no fun. i.e. 2 shattered legs, a broken arm, back,
neck, and multiple skull fractures. I'm still riding, but I do my best to prevent a
recurrence. I'm one tough hombre, but I ain't as brave as I useta wuz.

Yes, with age comes wisdom.....we're not so fearless the older we get and it takes alot longer to heal. Eventually we all move on, no gettin round it.
Rolling stop is just another way of saying "running a stop sign/light". No, everyone doesn't do it.

Here we go, try this video.......no laws were broken and I was even wearing my full face DOT approved helmet while observing and revving my little innocent engine. And it's really short and not too boring also. Notice how I run it outdoors so as not to kill myself? Do not try this at home yourself, it is potentially dangerous in several ways.

scotto, now i know that was YOU in the motovelo video. don't worry all the people in leisure world blow stop sign's all the time. it comes with age.
Welp, cats outta the bag.......yeah, I'm nidyanzo's stunt double. I promise I'll start wearing a helmet in future shoots. Is it ok to ride Mab's on the sidewalks with the engine fired up? LOL.
What's not so funny is I see guys riding 2-strokes around here with no helmet, no shirt, running red lights though the crosswalk and back up onto the sidewalk for blocks. Do ya think that bothers me? Questions not directed at you Dennis, just the uptight people that never do ANYTHING wrong ever
