ATV Florida Forum

When we were heading home yesterday afternoon, at the corner of 724 and Peavine, there were about 10-15 quads being VERY stupid! on the pavement.  [smiley=Angry.gif]
Now come on people..... you drive all the way out there to do wheelies on the pavement and drag race? and of course "No Helmets"  That is a blind corner without a stop sign, Good luck when it takes a hour to get medical help. Lots of traffic goes by there.

Just a tip, if you get caught on the pavement there is a BIG FINE and possible impound.
Please go and ride in the areas that you can, before it all goes away!
The last couple of times we have been out we have seen lots of groups riding down the middle of the pavement obviously newbie's out there.
There has been a number of serious accidents lately (I wonder why)
Also this past weekend was opening of "Open Gun Season" which means stay out of the NW and SW areas during the day.
And when you have Hunting Season you have "THE MAN" They are undercover [smiley=Shocked.gif] most of the time and if you don't know them personally you will never know they are the law.
Please be considerate of the areas that are left to ride, and....I don't care what you think of me....Therefore I don't care to ride with YOU either!

RANT OVER!

Well said. We fight to get more and more OFF-ROAD areas to ride and here people are riding on the road(without helmets) >:( this is a prime example of why this sport has alot of negative publicity.......

You GO girl!

i totally agree with you 100% kawgirl.  i was out there with mike and chris the other weekend as you know, and there were some dirt bikes, a few banshees, and a yfz (probably 5-6 total) in the streets......

Well said!  And again people, be considerate of the people that live out there, keep the noise down around the houses, stay out of their yards and always pick up your trash.

i wanted to snatch those guys off them banshees and *^*^#@&*^#@!@&* oh i was pi$$ed off. they even raced a truck at 1 point . and like kawgirl said I DONT CARE IF YOU LIKE ME OR NOT! all that dirt and you wanna ride on the road, stop thinking of just yourselves and remember we are all judged by the dead guy riding on the road.

Ohh! a ghost rider!

isn't the dead guy usually the one just laying there....motionless...dead...? ;)

messin with ya

yep! and next time i will secretly video those riders and call 911.......you never know when your being watched :D

To bad they wont let us post pics with no helmets and such..I would take there pics and get a close up of them and start a thread called LOOK AT THIS DUMB AZZ..... OR ......REMEMBER ME WHEN YOU HAVE NO MORE PLACES TO RIDE.

So dreth wants to hold that high and mighty attitude again when he is just as quilty himself.  It is not legal for anyone to ride out here anytime, on the roads or through peoples land.  Just because you want to destroy the land and think you are better then others you are not.  We all have our fun one way or another, do not bash others when you are also breaking the law buddy boy.

Man are you related to dreth or just jeulos of his elka shocks on every post you have made its always bashing and saying sh*t to dreth and i meen everpost :P

whooooooo weeeeeeee!!! i like this section!!!! ;)

Be careful what you video and who you give it to .I know your intentions are good but you never know in who,s hands that tape could end up in .

Good point JD.  Of course I am sure dreth likes the power rush of "secretly videoing" people and he only does what works for him, even if it is harmful to the sport and other riders.  Unless he is a cop then he needs to let other people worry about how they run there own lives and not threaten us like this.

OK People....Do any of you have a sense of humor?  This post was intended to be FUNNY ;D

Get off your Dirt Demon Vacuum Cleaner and ride a ATV! (http://www.click-smilies.de/sammlung0304/aktion/action-smiley-083.gif)

Can you take a Joke? (http://www.click-smilies.de/sammlung0304/teufel/devil-smiley-023.gif)

apparently not espicially when it comes from dreth :)

WOW!!!

Guess I should be happy that I did not go out there last weekend.

Go Kawgirl...Give em hell!

I totally agreee that this is one of the best places I have ever discovered to go riding..Now, to have idiots ruin it by playing stupid and dangerous games on the road is completely insane.

What ever happened to setting an example for young people that are learning to ride and respect the sport of off-roading. When somebody gets hurt or killed it will make it impossible for anyone to go riding there. All this kind of stuff does is make it tougher for groups like ours to get more land to go riding on. If you enjoy the sport, respect it and others that participate in it.

If I ever caught my son doing this kind of stuff, he would lose his ATV...  Maybe that's the lesson that has to happen here...

Dreth, I thaught you 2 kissed and made up....  :-*   We can allways count on Dirthead with a controversial reply to all your posts.... ???

I found a really cool place to ride, lots of trails and hardly see anybody all day. The problem is that I can't talk about it on here because of the idiots will show up and ruin it. I would love to ride with you guys, but I will continue to ride alone because i don't want to lose my spot, it sucks it has to be this way.

I know that feeling. I used to have an awesome spot out in Clermont (I know, I talk about it WAY too much, but it was bad azz). It was never too crowded, but got shut down QUICK after someone got really hurt (fighting). Anyway, now, if I ever come across a spot to ride (whether its good or bad), I'll tell maybe one or two people and make em swear to secrecy, lol. I'd rather ride with one person, then ride with 10 and have the place shut down.. sorry.. but I will not call attention to any riding area I find... Cant afford to lose more places.

I wonder how many people have a riding area that they don't talk about.
I do  but won't tell anybody where it is for that same reason.

Yes, many of us do have some places where we ride in secrecy..

I used to have a place like that right here in Jupiter, Fl, but some MX guys started riding on the road to get there and the cops got mean..

Now, the place has been posted. I agree that we all have our secret places to ride....But it's a few idiots that ruin it for the masses..

I was out there on Sunday and saw a big group of sport atv riders riding all crazy. There was a couple of guys on Banshees riding double and haulin a$$ with no helmets. Now I don't ride with a helmet but I'm not doing 80 MPH either. It helped me remember that common sense isn't that common. It would be a shame if irresponsible people ruin that spot. That was my first time out there on Sunday and it's a great spot to ride. I'll be out there again soon.

i think he has a crush on me . if you check his last 10 posts you will see that they are all about me :D. thanks atvdirtdemon, i think your cute too ;) and by the way MR., i have several family members that are cops :o

he just thinks im sexy :P

its always a blast when me and my buddy dirtdemon hang!!!!!! 8)

Hey Dreth can I hang out with you guys as well. I was starting to feel lonely here. :-*

Just keep playing hard to get Dreth ;D

thats what im sayin 8)he cant touch this 8)

hey DRETH it looks like you definitely have a secret admirer that is hiding his feelings....lol..j/k.

and yeah we all have our secret spots......mine is about 3 acres of a circle track. It doesnt have any hills or anything else that might even be fun......but the cops dont run me off and I dont have to dodge piles of garbage either. It's more like a flat track with potholes haha.

ok it's a retention pond behind my house but I'm the only rider and the neighbors dont mind. Plus the county guys dont come mow anymore so I think they appreciate my efforts lol.

i wish i did.  only place i know of where to ride is the okee pairie.  thats really one of the closest (good) places near me.

    ok, so maybe I am new here, and maybe I don't don't know what the hell I am talking about...I don't even know where the
hell you are talking about, but....
    The places we are aloud to ride are getting scarce, we all know this. It is dew to people being disrespectful of others, a handful that give all a bad name. I have ridden my whole life one any machine imaginable, and I like to play, I think we all do. But riding down the road like a lunatic is endandering others. If you have to get to another trail or something, be gentle as to not make people angry while doing it. I like to raise hell and ride like an idiot to, but there is a time and a place for it. As for the helmet, well, I don't like the either, and I feel it is my worry as to whether or not I want to crack my melon.
     But please, don't give the wheelers more of a bad name, we get enough already...so I have to say I agree with kawgirl's gripe.

i agree also but remember we all do need ORGAN donors!!!! real people need  them here....

    HMMM....     List of usable stretchy parts
 
Eyes -  crossed
Heart - broken :'(
Lungs - congested
kidneys - bruised
liver - yeah right ???

     HEY my exgirl was right, I am worthless :P

    Conclusion - Dump me in the Myakke River to feed the gaters (lord knows I've eaten enough of them)

     

I was there today and the undercover cops were in a dodge dakota with lights inside the truck only. They had only one thing to say, We wish they would not ride on the pavement. Only one simple request. Sonds reasonable to me.

Hey are "NOT" the undercover Officers.....you would never know them if you saw them, they look like typical ATV'ers having fun  :o
Those guys in the Dakota are great guys, you will see them in uniforms on ATV's also...checking Serial No's.  Also some of the officer's have camps out there  [smiley=Wink.gif]

We went out there again yesterday and there were still people riding down the pavement with no helmets. And while we where leaving they had a ambulance out there with lights on in the street so I dont know what happen but just go's to show you.

 [smiley=Disapprove.gif]

We saw one uniformed officer on a quad also. They officer and the  quad was nice. The officer in the Dakota was cool also. They were just mad at one camp full of ATV's riding on the pavement. I would love to go with a group of 4x4 quads after hunting season. We saw a lot of riding areas from the road around the west side but did not want to bother the hunters.

Hey Custom Rubicon & Kawgirl:

Hope all is well...

Sorry that MX Mike and I could not get to ride with you last weekend at the Prairies.. I could not get a trailer for the day.

Hey Kawgirl, are you and Jeff going out this weekend to ride??

It seems like these people still have not learned their lesson about riding on the roads up there...It seems that they don't listen when you go by and ask them to stop either...

HeY Rubicon, did you and your daughter have a good time last weekend?? My son is looking forward to riding with your daughter.. Let me know when you are going riding again..

Tvman & MX Mike

I miss the Prarie. it seems that it was starting to get seriously trashed lately and the real estate crowd will chase us further and further up the state. If you think we're trashing nature, look at the bulldozers and real estate folks really messing things up. I miss ripping wide open there.

WE WERE WARNED!!!!!!
 
    Would be nice if we can beat the daylights out of all the schmucks
   we see screwing up our places to ride.... >:D

I care what I think of you    :)

Just an FYI this thread was started Nov 15 2004, and Lanky brought it up again today.
Now that it is up again think about it  :-\ I warned people in Nov 04 and Jan 2005 the Prairie was closed.  :gr

Thanks..I think?

This is the exact reason why me and my parents bought a house in a atv friendly community. I have over 300 acres of land that I can ride on but nobody cares as long as you dont go right up to there house. I love this place and this place loves me.     and no I will not tell you were it is

Okay Rappy thats just wrong on so many levels.

Like a lingerie shop with no windows.

I was just poking a little fun at what you said..................Of course you must feel a little odd.  After all though you were proven correct that the reckless driving would eventually close that area down, simultaneously, you also lost a great riding spot.  Perplexing isn't it.

Also I was out ther two weekends ago and my boyfriends truck got broken into. They took one of our wrenches and threw it through the back window and stole everything out of there. When then reported it for the purpose of our credit cards that were taken and the officeres said that it was happening more and more each day. So please remember so not leave anything in the trucks....There are people out there that want your stuff more than you do....It is a shame but what are you going to do...

Don't lead them so much when you shoot them...........statistically speaking most criminals are out of shape................. ;) 2:L

How true.
