    Got caught by the police, may sell my trike :(

    Me and two of my friends were riding around on my trike last night, they dont know how to drive it so they were switching off riding on back. Anyways, I've got a pretty small yard so i was going around the neibhorhood a little. It was wet so i was doing some skids and stuff, along with some wheelies. So after we're done, I put it away and half an hour later my sister yells, "Jay, why are the cops here?" So I go outside and this is the most pissed off cop I've seen. (He expelled my friend so he knows me) He asks to see the trike so I go show him, he says if he finds me on it again I'm getting like 1000 bucks in tickets! On top of that, town of Lisbon has all these other stupid laws that I have to be within 150 feet of my house and no closer than 50 and cant ride in my ditch Sooooo I don't think I'm going to be riding my trike that much anymore.... Well, at least I did something right... the officer slipped when he said that he was going to stop at the guys house that called on me and tell him that If he sees me again he should call. So right after the cop pulled out of my street I ran like hell through the neibhorhood and see what house he was at. Sure enough, I found the house and you can be they'll be hearing from me in the future!!!!

    Damn that sucks. I would hate having neighbors that don;t like what I do. It would really piss me off if a cop came to my door sayin I couldnt ride anymore. :evil:

    Dang I would hate to be the guy that turned you in. :shock: You just never know who might buy a gallon of Round Up and spray obscene names (i hate pork cops stay away) into your nice green lawn. Have you ever heard of bined weed? It is a farmers night mare, all you have to do is pick some and throw it somewhere and it will grow (it has real nice white flowers when it blooms). I would never think about doing stuff like that.

    Chuck some OXO cubes on the lawn during a rain. They'll dissolve into the ground, and every dog in the area will come by, and rip up the lawn looking for the tasty treats!

    Dont sell your 3-Wheeler just because of some @$$-Hole in the neighborhood.

    But dont make it potentially worse on yourself by retalliating against the guys property. Retaliating against someones property is about the most childish, chicken-$h!t thing a person can do. And what if the cop was baiting you?? Intentionally letting it slip out where he was going, hoping you'll do something to the guy, then they'll investigate and catch you because you are probably the ONLY suspect.

    I hate to sound like "dad" here, (guess I'm getting older! :shock: )When you ride ATVs through neighborhoods, you set yourself up for a fall plain & simple. I know, your just having fun, not hurting a soul. But right or wrong, Like it or not, you are breaking the law and jerks are going to call you in.

    Was the trike in the garage or outside, could the cop see it without opening the door? I am assuming your a young one? Sounds like the cop was trying to intimidate ya. 1. You should not have shown him the trike, he needs a warrant if you dont show it to him, unless it was sitting in plain site. And then deny, deny, deny. Until a cop actually catches you your okay.

    Jeb is right, forget all that "Im gonna kill his grass or break his window". First off you should'nt set your self up for more trouble if the cop itimidated you that much the first time, and second, if you are gonna do somthing do it to the GUY, not his property. I work with coward punks that do that all the time. Not calling you a coward. But to your face their all cool and no problems here, then bam, your window's knocked out...and then you gotta prove they did it before you start settin jaws sideways ...am i venting.

    Exactly what I was going to say....

    Oh, and dont do stuff to his property (even though it would be hilarious), do it to him. Just sit in some bushes/woods near his house (if there are any), and unload some frozen paintballs on him :evil:

    Why sell your trike because you cant ride around the neighbor hood? Why not try to find a way to get to a legal riding spot? My neghbors are cool so i can ride my dirtbike around the neighborhood if i want and theres a crap load of woods plus my little track but i guess im lucky

    like trike kid i have some cool neighbors they dont care what you ride around heck i dont think alot of them would care for me to ride it late at
    night because most of them do that anyway where i live most do but thats one of the luxurys of living in the country and no cop will stop you they will just give you an evil eye but they hardly ever come out here
    even for something serious it takes them an hour to get out here.


    but don't sell your trike, its too bad you got caught for something like
    that though
