ATV Florida Forum

We went to the Motoplex this weekend (had a great time) and I noticed a horrible trend and that is people just throwing their garbage on the ground. THIS REALLY TICKED ME OFF. I love this sport because I love being out doors but when someone just throws their coke can on the ground it just upsets me. So no matter where you ride if you love this sport/hobbie at all pick up after your-self. If you dont do this yell at those who do. If you do this and think its no big deal well guess what it is SO STOP.

Thank you for listening to my rant.

agree, I spent an extra few minutes this weekend just cleaning up after people had thrown stuff on the ground.

That doesnt always happen in all place, its the group for people that doesnt know any better. Sorry to hear that happens at the Motoflex.

yeah, it happened a couple times out there this weekend with some of the new people that had not been there before.

I'm not afraid to walk barefoot at the plex, but I'd be worried doing the same at another spot that shall not be named,,,,,don't act like that place is a paradise without it's problems BD.

The 1st Thing That I Was Tought About The Woods And The 1st Thing I Tought My Son About The Woods Is "That If You Pack It Up To Take In The Woods Than Pack It Up To Take It Out Of The Woods"

Yep people need to get a grip,trash doesnt just go away.It is aggravating to see.

Id@,

I have to agree with you there. The absolute nastiest, most trash filled area (people and garbage) I've ever been to is that certain unnamed place.
You'll always attract some bad apples when you open up your property to the general public. The best thing to do is try to educate them, even help them clean up if needed and try to set a good example. Otherwise, every place will end up looking like that certain unnamed place......

I too saw the extra trash and was upset by it. It will get picked up but if you see someone littering please ask them WHY!!

The motoplex has some of the nicest most considerate people I have seen, come there. No problems with the vast majority of riders.

A lot of the problems stem from empty water bottles/coke cans being pushed under the atv's rack and then bouncing off during the ride. There are always a few inconsiderates though.

hahahaha whooooo!!!!!!!!!!  :L 2:L

Sounds like you have issues..........GET OVER IT!  Yeah Paul you're right, most the people dont even know that it fell off there rack till they need a drink.  I can only control want goes on in my camp and you can walk barefoot around my camp without fear of a bottle cap and other trash.

It like a big city,more folks more trash.

Lets not forget about all the dedicated folks who organize & have cleanup rides out @ ranch. Not to mention the 10k saplings that are going to be planted.Takes new generations & new motivation to clean up the past. I have seen tremendous improvements in the general appearance over last year.

no issues other than a whiny female dog that couldn't stand to be called on the carpet for a comment he was making, then felt it was his personal goal in life to try to ruin my reputation on this site for it.

now, as for your camp,,,,absolutely right, your camp is probably in the top ten of cleanest/nicest camps out there,,,,,I'll never forget the time I woke up at 6am and was listening to you weed whacking the place to keep the bushes down.

Dang, shoot that dog and get another. 

Ive met nothing but good people at the Motoplex. I couldnt tell you about RR. Never been there.

:Clap.gif Yes sir we have lost so many places because of this problem. Some folks have NO PRIDE and I dont care where it is...if it is a place for us to ride, we need to keep it clean. Thank you for your rant. ;)

i'm more than happy to take you and your daughter out there.  i'll let ya know when i'm done working on camp so we can go out and play.

 Guys lets please not make this a the plex is better than the ranch or visa versa... this is about keeping riding spots clean. I go to the ranch because it is 30 mins from my door, if the plex was not 3 hours I would go there. The ranch has been around for 30 plus years and survived several hurricanes and fires and TONS of slobs. The plex will look the same in 20 years if not taken care of NOW and if not closed down before then due to bureaucracy.  Same with the Ranch.

very well said

I noticed the weak attempt at a jab also Id@.
BD is turning into a bd & the d isnt for daddy.

the only time ive ever litter in the woods was when my quad broke and i had watch instead of race the QS in myakka, and i brought a soda bottle out there put it down and forgot about until i was about 1 1/2 hours away....ooopppppsssss.
