be cautious of who you pull up to while out on the trails... or just out riding around.... you never know what may happen...

On Saturday September 24th around 4~5 pm me and my friend were out in the titusville area(near the warbird musem i believe(i know it was near a airport)) and we were headed to spot he knew of that was nice pit.... well we get there and see it's filled with water.... we ride around there a bit and find a couple of trucks and about 6-7 people there enjoying themselves(drinkin some beer)... we pull up... turn our atv's off... take our helmets off... and just start talkin while me and my friend are sittin on our atvs... seein what's goin on... see if they were swimmin in the water.... just bein friendly..... they asked about our 4-wheelers and stuff.... etc.... then the next thing i know i'm on the ground, on my back, the world has turned yellow... i'm tryin to figure out what happened... (i've never been punched before and i'm 18 now)... i finally come to the conclusion that i got punched right below my left eye and on my right cheek.... my friend got puched in the nose(which bleed)... were both stunned.... trying to figure out what's going on....

they said that we were talking crap to them at a shooting range around that area.... we let them know that we've never been to a shooting range and we live in orlando.... they kinda doubt us... but back off cause we have our helmets in our hand... finally they come to the conclusion that we aren't who they think we were... offer us a beer for the confusion(we declined)... one guy still wanted to fight... but his friends wouldnt let him.... and it turns out that in the middle of all this they ripped the gold necklace that my buddy had off his neck (had it since he was 4... now also 18) so we ask for it back... they say that they don't have it... it got thrown into the bushes... ect.... then they get the vin off his bike... ask for mine... idk where it was... they didn't get it... ask for our names(they got fakes).... they got the vins for just in case we called the cops... and they finally got far enough away from the atv's that we hopped on and took off.... we rode out till we got to a road.... went down the road till we got a to a house and a lady was outside... called the police... etc... gave statement....(after they went looking for them) and it turns out... someone else that knew one of the guys in the group... walked up to this group of guys... and he got the sh*t beat out of him........

soo... when they get caught....(hopefully by the police) they will be charged with quite a few things Wink including the necklaces they stole...... if not.... well lets hope that a few people i know doesnt get a hold of them... we didn't do anything at the time... cause it was 6-7 to 2 and i had a small knife.... and we didn't know if they might of had a gun... so we didn't fight back...


just be careful.... don't ride up to people that are drinking and outnumber you..... just wave and go on by

good one...lol....!!

Next time take your helmet to the biggest one then challenge anyone else. Not to mention the sand you were laying in...throw it into the eyes and you got plenty of time to decide which eye you want to dot!! Or DONT MESS WITH REDNECKS, your one bike cost more than all there trucks together. Their jealous. especially this one.( I got friends in Tits ville ) THEY DONT LIKE PEOPLE FROM O-TOWN!!!!! Glad ur ok.

yeah i'd carry a gun... but i'm only 18... so is my other friend..... so were stuck with either a bow and arrow (lmao) or a knife....


they were all pretty skinny guys.... me and my buddy were just in a case of WTF?

if somethin were to happen like this again... were definitly not backin down like we did


i'm pretty close to bein a redneck... cept i got all my teeth Smiley lol... so much for havin a somethin like a brotherhood for rednecks...

i only paid $550 for the bike i got now... so it'd be about a even trade... lol

they didn't know we were from o-town till after they hit us... they said they had a lot of crap goin on with towns and sh*t around them (they named a few... o-town wasn't one)


it's just odd... cause if we talked crap to them before... why would we ride up to them and act like friends? that's the part i don't understand... which they don't understand... obviously..

hell... cops asked if we got any good licks on em.... one even said we should carry somethin next time..... ain't got no problem with that now

Unfortunately there are punks that run in packs like that in Brevard. I have seen it too many times too not be prepared for it. Be aware of your surroundings at all times especially during hunting season. Someone else's drinking party could just be a fight waiting to happen and my suggestion would be to leave the area as soon as you feel threatened, these boys out here carry guns alot. There was a shooting in Canaveral groves not long ago that began as an argument, best bet is to back off and leave , let cooler heads prevail.

Damn kid, that sucks. Gotta be looking out at all times bro. Once you get suckered once it rarely happens again cause next time you are expecting the unexpected. So you will learn from this, trust me, I did!! But anyways, I ride with my wife and little girl sometimes but  always carry my 38 with extra rounds.

yeah it definitly sucked that it happened.... totally unexpected.... cause there was no argument or anything... just sittin there talkin about whatever


we'll both definitly have a knife on us when we go riding from now on... hopefully we can get more people to go with us

we talked to the cop... and 19 is the age of when you can be gifted a hand gun and ammunition.... soooo... got a year left and then we don't have to be so close to the attackers to stop them...


ride in big groups when you can help it... that helps to prevent stuff like this... i'm sure if there was 4 of us.... this might not of happened... or if it did... well they'd be a little ruffed up before the cops got there

luckily my buddy didn't bring his gf... she was going to... but somethin came up and she couldnt... worse things could of happened....

i'm happy that i'm alive... and for the most part... in good health... definitly could be a different story right now.... and i got my atv still... life is good Smiley

Wow that totally freaks me out, I'm always the person riding up to people i don't know camps i don't know turn off the bike and start to talk to everyone around.  I guess I'm lucky they've all been decent enough people to not try to pull any crap like that.  I've always been scared that someone would F with my bike never really worried about myself (little woman syndrome always think i can handle my own) but i'll keep your story in mind the next time i want to met the people over yonder.  At least things weren't so bad man...at least you guys didn't get stabbed.

Sorry to hear what happened and glad your both OK. It is a reminder to all of us that the areas we ride in are very out of the way and will also attract bad people who may be hiding from the authorites or simply looking for trouble.

On another note, shooting or killing someone (justified or not) will bring more legal troubles than anyone would ever want to deal with. I own a gun and carry a concealed weapons permit. It may sound wimpy, but I carry pepper spray on me when I am going into questionable areas. Non lethal protection that will floor most people. A officer friend I used to ride with suggested this over a gun and I have done it ever since.

pepperspray is a good idea, riding with a gun is a horrible idea though. I Normally have a 4" buck knife on me, not only for protection but they come in handy a lot. I normally dont ride with just 1 other person so i can avoid this kind of situation. My guard is always up when i meet someone new, no matter who it be. I dont stop to talk to anyone unless its in a busy area. I stay away from rednecks that drink in the woods because they like to start fight. Basically i dont stop or let down my guard until im sure if they were to try something i would be able to get away without harm. Sucks what happened to you but its a good thing you got away. And im not saying you did anything wrong but im sure it taught you a lesson about who to stop and talk to.
