[ForeWOMAN_450]

Yeah, GOD FORBID, you were out doing something with your kid instead of out buying/selling drugs, stealing, etc. while your kid was at home in front of a TV!!!  It really stinks that you can't just go somewhere and have some clean (or dirty) fun with your kid!  Were there "No Trespassing" signs posted???

[customrubicon]

Most of the areas off of the turnpike are posted and some are posted and fenced.

Were you riding near the high shool or off Jog ?

West palm bch county has a NO ATV law on the books for over 10yrs, there will never be a ATV park in West palm. hell the county spends big $$$$$$ on atv enforement, { atvs cops,4x4 trucks, and helicopter partol} what a waste of tax payer $$$$$$$$$.  

[bbf]

they have nothing better to do

[tvman]

Thanks for the info.. Sorry to hear about your bad experience. I just passed by the Jog/Belvedere tracks this past weekend and saw at least 50 bikes and ATV's out there.

WPB is a tough place to ride..You need to own land or know somebody that does..

The MAN has nothing better to do than to bust up the good guys and let the real criminals keep stealing and hurting innocent people...

But on the other note, if it was your property and you did not want the liability of people potentially getting hurt and suing you for everything you own...you might call the cops too...

Sorry to hear about your problem..

Stick- I think I talked to you yesterday at court. What makes me laugh, when they asked me if I wanted to do community service hours. I live in the Acreage and pay plenty of taxes, now they want me to work for them to!!! My buddy & I were thinking worse it was going to be, maybe $50. I couldn't believe when they said $190 court cost. It was funny, my buddy and I could tell exactly who was there for riding.

[stick_rider]

YEA ITS ME WEST PALM SUCK AND YES THEY SPEND LOTS OF
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ ON THERE TRUCKS AND ATV SAW FORD LIFTED 10" TIRES AND ALL AND A BRAND NEW GRIZZ TIRES AND ALL FOR WHAT 190.00 FINES IT PAYS FOR ITS SELF WISH I HAD THAT JOB I WOULD JUST GO RIDING AND MUDDING

[stick_rider]

TVMAN   I KNOW YOUR RIGHT BUT ON THAT SAME NOTE PEOPLE OF ARE SELF KNOW THAT WE ARE RIDING OFF ROAD BIKES AND IT SAYS ( RIDE AT OWN RISK) THESE PEOPLE THAT ARE SUING AR A  S  S  H  O  L  E  S    OR  THE PARENTS  OF THEM HAVE ISSUES

[customrubicon]

The property off jog that you are talking about is fenced and posted NO Trespassing. It is posted on here all the time not to ride out there.

I am sorry that you got a ticket.

It does not have to be this way. If Florida would relieve the property owners from liability like they do the equestrian community. All the equestrians have to do is post specific ride at your own risk signs. They are more detailed than that but you get the jist.It does not matter even if you sign a waiver at the present time or what you post as a property owner. You are liable if someone gets hurt.  

I host an event on my property in Michigan three times a year and have to pay $ 1,800.00 in insurance to do so. I do it so I do not lose my 90 acres if someone gets hurt and sues me. It is a by invitation only event but you never know.. It really does suck.

My new career change will be 4wheeler patrol for PBC what a dream. I would get fired for not arresting anyone and riding all day with pay.

Not to get of your subject but where in Michigan? Im from Whitehall and 1 day I will take my quad to Silver Lake. Never got a chance to go there... :-/

[customrubicon]

I am an hour west of Detroit about 3 1/2 hours from Silver Lakes Dunes. It is nice but sometimes at the dunes you wait in long lines just to get in. I usually ride at the Mounds in Mt. Morris in the summer months.

I am allowed to have 100 riders, 10 campers and as many tents as necessary. I do take donations but many local companies help pay for the insurance including my business. I do not want it to sound as I pay for it out of my pocket.

Another guy near me does the same thing for a professional rodeo to be held at his place. It works well.

Stick...you say wpb sucks,but yet you came up here to ride,if you dont like it,stay down south......

four of them were my family and I.. luckily no problems with LE. oh ya and the gates were open!!

[stick_rider]

gates were open when we went did not see any no tresspassing signs till we left on the tp side if we ride atv no one should be sueing any one RIDE AT OWN RISK [smiley=angry2.gif] [smiley=angry2.gif] [smiley=angry2.gif]

[seaviper]

Think about this guys, it COSTS the cops $$ to catch criminals, but it PAYS them $$ to catch us out riding with our family. We all have jobs and lives so they know we'll pay the fines. The criminals don't pay anything.
