Never a cop around when you need one. It would have been glorious! No mirrors would have just been the opening act. Any plates on those school bikes? :cool:

in S Wales UK they have a bmw off road school, you collect the bikes from the industrial estate where there kept, once everybody has turned up they are then ridden road legally with number plates to a place called Walters Arena where they spend all day off road they then ride them at lunch time up to the cafe in llandovery where after lunch they go back to the off road place for thje afternoon session
but yes all road legal, mirrors not required by law over here lol

The original comment was tongue in cheek. :p And for reference, in the US, you wouldn't do that w/o encountering someone wanting to hassle you. Some would cite, others would warn. The school would be good to have a bus for lunch runs.
