I don't know if I am the only one that feels this way, but If its an ILLEGAL place to ride the cops wouldn't need to be there if you weren't riding there. I get sick of people on the site complaining about cops being out at ILLEGAL places. Why are you there to see the cops in the first place?

Same over here in palm beach county. I made a substantial investment in a weekend warrior so I could load up & GO to legal places.MOST Folks on this site would rather BS about stupid stuff than take a few minutes to type legit e-mail that would voice there opinion.

Sounds like most of the young riders without the resources $ to travel and ride should have the strongest voice.No they would rather chit chat about stupid stuff than spend a moment to e-mail a letter that may make riding in areas more convienient for them to participate in legally.

My $.02 sad but true! :'( >:(

i guess every where you turn you get smart a$$es, with stupid coments.
and i see that venting is crime. just think if the county has that much spare
change maybe they would find us a riding area so we would not have this
problem! :-\

We agree, thats why we say to voice your opinion to the officials and stop riding there until something happens. All you do by riding there is show that we are not law abiding citizens. You need to obey the laws, voice your opinion, show up to the meetings and rallies and enjoy your quad at legal places.

I live in Golden Gate estates. This place has always been popular for quads, and it still is. 7 years ago nobody cared. But since all the rich people started moving out here, it started to get enforced. ::)
