Now oil and shiz is probably going to drain into that body of water.
Also, I am not really sure how effective this will be for deterring wheelie boyz. As most of the bikes are probably stolen or purchased with unearned funds.
All those bikes and I bet not 1 of them has a good rear tire...
Unlimited budget, unlimited authority.
The Shop
The worst part is that they further the image of the motorcycle as the villain, not the punks who are riding them in the street. They do the same thing when they melt down firearms. Blame the inanimate object and those of us who are enthusiasts enjoying them in a harmless way share some of the guilt by association.
Stupid.
Stupid.
Pit Row
I think it's nice they would like to do something about this problem instead of let it happen a la Baltimore. I haven't seen the bikes confiscated but it might be that the VINs are gone so the rightful owner can no longer be found, nor can the bike be sold. Also, the amount they'd get for such bikes likely isn't worth the cost and potential legal liability for selling them.
I've heard that, while most of these bikes are stolen, they are frequently sold at a low price by the few thieves out there doing the "work". This could have the effect of cooling that market down if the "buyer" knows that his $600 will be run over. Or if he won't be able to illegally ride it on the street.
I am not sure it's the "right" strategy since I don't have all the facts but I am happy they're trying to do something to stop it instead of nothing.
It is a difficult responsibility after all;

They don't have a fucking clue how to stop the problem (without stirring up other issues), but they have to appear to be doing something.
And hey, if you are selling a used bike in the NY area it just became more valuable haha.
A new pipe and straighten the subframe and #22 is good to go. I bet the ones underneath are less damaged than most of the crap on craigslist.
Rank stupidity. I am guessing they didn't get the reaction they were hoping for.
The people they confiscated the bikes from stole them in the first place so they could give two shits if you run them over. They have more than likely stole another bike from someone else already and are planning a huge ride through the city as a big old fuck you to the man......
They should have returned the bikes to the rightful owner or sold them to help a charity.
Stupid decision made by some bureaucrat.
Pretty crazy, security gate, 6 flights of a carpark, storage den, storage cage, locks... and gone.
Even crazier, the police got partial plates and the make/model of the car and wouldn't chase it. Dirt bikes aren't important to cops. Wonder if they know what the RRP is?
