They are rallying for MLK’s vision — a color-blind society?

While beside the point the only reason why dirt bikes and ATVs are not allowed on the road is because of stupid EPA regulations.

Most full size dirt bikes can be made street legal with lights and signal accessories installed and license fees.

“...bumpers and seat belts and stuff like that.”

They should all be forced to watch Crowder’s video about things people don’t know about MLK. Hint - they’re not good.
