Dirt bike rider in Cayucos

By KAREN VELIE

The California Highway Patrol is seeking the public’s help identifying a dirt bike rider who led officers on a chase throughout Cayucos on Sunday afternoon.

Shortly before 4 p.m., officers attempted to pull over a white male for excessive speeds, running stops signs, doing wheelies, and failing to stop or yield. The rider appeared to be within 15 to 20 years old.

He was riding a black Surron dirt bike.

Officers are asking anyone who can assist in identifying this individual to call the CHP office in San Luis Obispo at (805) 594-8700.

Those are expensive bikes! Probably not too many around town! IF Daddy hasn’t read this yet, and hasn’t seen this pic of his son, I am sure the kid will be back out on the street again! Otherwise, they are probably painting the bike and putting it up for sale?


We’re waiting!


Those electric dirt bikes need to be more strictly regulated, and I’m not generally a fan of a nanny state. But having had a personal experience with a very young kid riding one of those things, I think a lot of parents are buying their kids these bikes, not understanding how fast they actually go. Nothing like the old mini bike with a Briggs and Stratton engine. Someone’s going to get killed, unfortunately, before people wake up.


Any electric bike that uses more than 750 watts, is required to have a motorcycle endorsement. Until the penalty is more severe, these high school hooligans will continue to abuse traffic laws.

Going after the Mom, since little Johnny critically injured an 81 year old Vietnam veteran. I say throw her ass in prison, but here in the DPRC she’s gonna walk.


That’s that Dang kid that walks on my front lawn!


Lock him up!


In my youth I did all of that, but I did stop. Traffic school, a small fine and the education about doing wheelies is considered to be reckless driving. Now I have a unicycle, just one wheel, not for everyone but legal. Although at 75, likely personally a little reckless.
