Warning to all the fun loving atv riders

[banone]

There is always bigger badder people that run to idiots like that.
They will get the same treatment, it always happens, what goes around comes around.

[Joedirt]

Luckily we ride in a pretty big group, but that random kind of thing makes me sick , gotta stay on your toes all the time,  Sorry about yout luck  people can be such A-holes.....

[shortcut]

Yeah,between my .45 and Kawgirls .22mag the gang usually leaves when we pull up  , and of course it dosen't hurt I'm a bit on the scary side 

[enniehall]

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.

[LTR450 994]

this is the very reason why Florida will have that new gun law where you can shoot the dumb f**k if you feel your life is in danger, effective 10/01/2005

[Moose]

Yea man, Oct 1st is here tomorrow. Maybe the crimes will start to slow down. I know if I'm a victim of anything like that, it will NEVER happen again with the same thugs, they won't be bothering anyone ever again.

[sk8r_dude]

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.

peperspray and or ride with an ex navy seal

[gearhead400]

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.
