Watch 900 ATVs and Motorcycles Bulldozed as NYC Mayor Waves Checkered Flag

• New York City's mayor waved the checkered flag on Tuesday to end the lives of 900 illegal motorcycles, ATVs, and dirt bikes in a video shared by Reuters on Twitter.

• The illegal motorcycles were destroyed by means of having a bulldozer smash them to bits. The reason: they were not legal to use on city streets.

• The NYPD has seized over 2000 such illegal vehicles this year.

In this video that turns out to be just as odd as its title, New York City Mayor Eric Adams waved a checkered flag, prompting a waiting Department of Sanitation driver to hit the gas on his bulldozer and bring doom on a pile of ATVs and motorcycles.

A line of roughly 30 motorcycles and dirt bikes stand waiting while the bulldozer charges ahead to crush them. The video clip shows that the driver gets about halfway through the line before needing to reverse and unstick a pesky motorcycle before charging back down to finish the job.
