ok, i was just thinking then when i was answering a post about my riding. about 3 weeks ago i was in my local woods on raptors, rippin it up with the beast! and i came up a long track [ flooring it!!!!] and there were some walkers who i saw, and they heard me so stepped back very early [lol i was about 150ft from them]. it was safe though as i was in full control and aware of them, however when you see the speeds i push you may think me wreckless, lol but im not................or so i hope! if you're the same of someone who has no idea of who is there but still open their quad up.....................sign the post! lets see just how many of us ride like this?

it should be funny if we all do it, as the spectators reali do S##T it when they see us

 

It's idiocy like this that and gives the sport a bad name and keeps us banned from 6.7 million acres of state land here in New York Why would you want to do this?

 

lol no u gettin wrong idea, wen ppl watch me ride, that shunt b ther, they s**t it when i come passed, this is on my own private land. im not asking people to ride like this, but asking if you have same problem. the local woods however are used by people with bike illegally in the Uk, as there is no where else for them to ride. we only open up then when its clear and nobody there. however i did a few week ago, but it was safe. people go there to watch others ride. no harm done.

 

Sorry- didn't realize you were on your own property.

 

People prob see me and think wow what a nut! since im doing over 70mph in the ditches flying over approaches and racing cars....but i am in full control at those speeds and am well aware of whats going on around me although it may not look like i am.

 

The only people who think I'm looney on my bike are the ones who ride it after I tell them I don't think it has enough power.

You should go slow when driving near pedestrians and spectators, regardless of who's property you're on.

 

Personally, I like the up close feel at the track...but not sure I would trust just anyone in the woods at high speed.

 

It's amazing I havn't mushed my brains into some tree bark [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]


I used to ride like an A hole in the woods, riding 1 lane forest service trails on a dirtbike at mind blowing speeds. All it takes is to get crossed up on some slippery root then a tree jump out and put your lights out, forever!


Now I drive a Ute Quad, but I still have my KTM 380 MXC...It's hellish fast in the woods and I ride it like I stole it. But for some reason older age has brought about smaller *********, or is that wisdom? So does being wise mean you have small *********? N/M that is a different discussion LOL



Yes I still drive my Grizz hard, Yes people think I'm an idiot....even my riding buddies [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] Seems my ********* havn't fallen off yet! but I am very aware of my surroundings, if I see people I slow down, WAY DOWN...and I go out of my way to make sure they are aware I'm not gonna run em over.. I slow down so as not to dust them, and not to annoy them with my exhaust noise.

People auctually wave at me when I pass them, and they use more than one finger to do it [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

i have my moments


i was on a fast ride one time with about 25 quads,,,,,,,man were we cooking

we came around this corner and there were a couple foreigners picking mushrooms that were practically crapping their pants,,,,with the look of death in their eyes

morel of the story,,,,dont pick mushrooms at an ATV park

to the average bystander,,,, most sportbike speeds would seem out of control (even though they arent)

 

yer i know what you mean by slowing down, i do same, i say hi, but they don't lol, some people like quads, some hate them! i can't stand it when people **** around and don't move though, especially when its on my own land!
