Hearing that over 200 illegally modified bikes got seized isn't something I can shrug off, even as someone from the custom-culture side. I've always judged a bike by who builds it and how — modification itself is culture, but ignoring public-road safety while you're at it isn't builder's work. Six deaths is too heavy a number.

1,800+ fines and accidents still didn't drop, that's rough.

Jumping from 11 to 29 accidents is way too much, response was too slow.

I don't hate the two-stroke gathering itself, though.

Over 200 illegally modified bikes is definitely a step too far.

Six deaths and people are still talking economic benefits?

Seriously, that number is way too heavy to brush off.
