Some people, I'll tell ya what.....

I was riding my R ealier, the only way to get to trails is by going down the road. keep in mind that I do speed down the road, I take my time. Well this neighbor of ours, who has caused other problems with other people, decided to be an ass to me. I was heading back from the woods and I got to his house, he pulls out in front of me with his lawn mower, and starts yelling and pointing, "Slow the **** down!!!". I was like whatever, slowed down to like 4th gear and putterd down the road. I was in 6th but I was taking my time. Then I look back a ways down the road, he is standing there still yelling at me. I was like whatever and went home. Well then 10:00pm tonight a state popo shows up at my door. So I got asked all these questions is the machine reg. and ins. etc. where was I going, blahblahblah. But he was nice and just told me to stay off the road. I expained my side of the story and he was nice. But Jesus, why did the neighbor have to be such an ass now? After 5 years of riding down the road he has to complain? Whatever.

technically no atvs supposed to be on the road. Just be glad you didn't get it confiscated. here in maryland they would have done they're darndest to take your bike. And if you don't have a title/registered, they'll probably get it and you'll never be able to get it back. least here in MD anyway. lol

[random-strike]

ive had the cops at my house numerous times. don't answer their questions and tell them to leave, stand up to your neighbor and tell him to *Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited* himself

[McDerry]

report you neighbor next time for attempted vehiclular homicide with his lawnmower.

[Teeksoffroad]

I wouldn't use a lawnmower I would back into you with my truck. Why speed down the road ? I don't blame him. Maybe he has kids that ride their bikes on the road or a wife who pushes a baby carriage. Don't ride like an a hole on the road. Go slow until you get to the trail. I have to ride a 1/4 mile on ther road sometimes to get to a trail but I go slow on my street. Grow up

about a week ago I was riding my R on some dirt roads (theres alot here in south ga) and when I was stoped at the end waiting to go across to my property some old dude in a beat up dakota STOPED in the road and started YELLING AT ME! of course with a helmet on and aftermarket exaust I couldnt hear *Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited*, but he was freakin out! I jsut gave Him a thumbs up and then I took off

there are just to many stupid people, your neighbor will have his day

I guess we're lucky out here in the sticks of North Central Florida... Our county deputies will usually just wave and keep going, occasionally stop and chat.

[Jim mac]

I imagine with a R being a 2 stroke and all, it probably makes a heck of a racket, and while you don't think your going fast, combine the sound of the exhaust and, how fast is 6th on a R? You were probably going faster than seems reasonable, If it were a silenced 4 stroke, the nieghbor might never had givin you a second thought.
I had the same problem with my dads nieghbor, I rode a 110 down the street to the desert, Im talking 1st gear on a 110 just putting, Well after my dad heard about it he went out and "test ran the motor" in the front yard whenever the nieghbor was home. JIm

And people wonder why we are losing all of our riding areas.

[Bryan Raffa]

next time try this... wave the cop over first and talk to him nicely. play dum and tell him where your going and what your doing, If it all right to be doing what your doing... 9 times out of 10 they will explain and let you go with no tickets as long as you agree with them.. we all know right from wrong.

this is why i ride on state land. my town has alot of stuck up people that hate atvs in all.

[wanta86r]

i think all people need to mind their own business. you should know better than to speed down the road, but there is no reason your neighbor needed to call the cops. I dont understand why people want to be enemies with their neighbors. some people just need something to *Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited* about

[SYKO]

well here an So GA every farmer has atv's and suck and there all over the place the sherrifs are pretty cool if you stay off the hard roads and keep it to the side, and wear helmets, one time when i was 14 I was crusing around on my polaris down the dirt roads, and at the time we had a asshole that was a deputy that lived down one of the dirt roads, well he came whippin out and arrested me! i was like wtf!? well he got my polaris towed and I went to the sherrifs, well by the time I got there my parents were there with the sherrif ( wich was good freinds with my dad) and he was PISSED, he put the deputy on desk dutie for 6 months and made him pay the tow bill! he said that everyone in this county owns atv's including the farmers who support the sherrif patrole and the next time you take somebody up for riding down a dirt road not causing any trouble you'll be fired!

but I respect my neighbors I creep by there homes (on the dirt rd) slow then open it up onthe long back stretches away from homes and children, I dont ride on anybodys land (unless with permission) all ways ride on the shoulder (on the paved roads)

some people you just cant please

oh well

Our old neighbor strung up barbed wire and broken pipes, in the woods next to us. Wasn't his land either. It belonged to a farmer who's land came right up to ours, and he said we could play around in there. Why our neighbor did that, who knows? Just wanted to be an ass i guess . Problem is we have 2 little ones...real nice!

[SYKO]

what?! thats jsut insane!
