Plus 1 on that one! You can't just ride a motorcycle without all those things and you can't wheelie through a local park!
My aunt is a nurse and she tells me she is seeing more and more of these accidents. Most recent story, guy breaks 3 ribs. Hearing that makes my cringe and that is enough for me to keep my speed under control.

The crazy ones will still wheelie giving bad rep to all the other motorcyclists who just want to ride normal. Similar story with these kids blasting through parks.
Regulations should be based on speed limit and pedals vs none pedals. Anything beyond that gets messy and complicated. It should not be based on motor power nor watts. Why punish the hardware when the software (the rider’s behavior) is the actual variable? A high power motor doesn't make you reckless; your right thumb does.

They should enforce speed limits in parks, simple as that.

Speed traps in local Toronto parks? I don't see that happening. How do you even envision that?
