College Restrictments

Couldn't find anything, so it's probably a case by case basis. I could see how some coaches would have a real concern, especially if $$ scholarship is involved. Even coaches who allow it, would expect good judgment by a player --WEAR A HELMET. Some professional athletes have restrictions in their contracts. There are certain protocols for each team. Son's college team has restrictions on facial and long hair for instance. So depending on the program, you may "ride the bench" if you decide to ride a bike.

I would make the team first, then ask. If the coach says no live the bike at home. Don't make recruiting decisions based on being allowed to use the bike. If you bring up he question to the coach during recruiting he may question your focus.

if you throw 95, pull up to the first practice on your bike and do a donut in the infield. Do you understand the point?

^ haha ya got it thanks

Clipper, this is coming from a guy who grew up racing motorcycles, and building high performance off road vehicles.

Can the motorcycle idea, I won't ride one on the street anymore not because I am not safe, it is all of the idiots in the 3-5,000lb vehicles that don't see you... and not all are idiots actually they may be old, bold, or nearsighted.  

Not worth it, particularly for a young guy. 

...my 2 cents. 

I've been lucky enough to be able to re-open my eyes while laying on the pavement looking up at the underside of bigger vehicles.  Both times, it was just as BOF stated... not unsafe motorcycle operating but other vehicles that just don't see you.

Now running across chickens on a country road while testing the accuracy of the red line on the speedometer... that may not have been the chickens' fault.

Not sure I'm helping here.

Agree 1,000%!  When I was much younger, foolish (and single) I had a motorcycle.  After almost being hit 4-5 times by drivers piloting 4 wheel vehicles in the last 2,000 miles I drove it, I parked it for good (was also getting married).  That was over 20 years ago.  Too many distracted drivers then and it's even worse now due to cell phones.  The stat that still rings true is in an accident involving a motorcycle and a car/truck, 65% of the time the car/truck driver "never" saw the motorcycle.  They just aren't "looking" for them.

FWIW - I still have my motorcycle endorsement on my license.  Maybe one day I'll get another one.

What is a "restrictment"?  To my knowledge that is not even a word.  Not to be too harsh, but colleges may be more concerned about that than the motorcycle.

It's a new word, a portmanteau of "restricting enjoyment." Happens all the time in college sports.

Nah, I just made that up. But maybe it should be a word.

I was going to bring that up as well, but passed on it...

I do a little volunteer IT work for our kid's HS;  the other day I got an email from a new member of our school's social studies faculty that started, "Dear Mr. JCG, I'm reaching out to you because me and some other teachers were talking about..."

So I tried not to judge the OP's "restrictment" too harshly.  In fact, I think that with a little educatement, he may be a good candidage for our social studies departion.

And don't even get me started on the "reaching out" jargon.
