We all see Mr. Blackballed has learned how to use the quote feature. That's great. I really don't know why I'm going to continue but just one thing. My kids do not hold me back from having fun they both have been riding since age 5. My son is a better rider than a lot of grown men, he picks where he wants to go. I spend a lot of time with my kids hunting, fishing, riding atvs, riding horses and talking. My kids do not attend public school, sorry about that theory. I however did and I may not be very smart since I never attended college. But after several years in the Army and hard work I have made a good life for me and my family. Now I'm not going to argue with you any longer since you seem to enjoy it, and will not respond in this post again. Bickering back and forth over the internet is senseless and for very bored people. Some seem to get into it, I don't. I will be at Turkey Bay Labor Day weekend with my family and friends enjoying the weekend. If you would like to talk about this further I would be more than happy to speak face to face. You can contact me through PM and we can discuss how to meet since it will most likely be very busy.
Diablo glad to hear you had a good time at LBL, we enjoy going down there. Next time you go down let us know as we usually go quite a bit in the spring and fall.

 

Hey diablo, what were you riding. I was there Saturday and Sunday.

 

We drove 7 hours to get here and 2 hours into riding my second gear went out. talk about being p!ssed off!!!!

 

Thanks For the offer, Mudcat, I would love to return to LBL, great place! If you go down there this fall, or even spring, definately get a hold of me! Imagine that, a bunch of us uneducated Indiana folks razin a ruckus!!! Hide the kids, ma, the Hoosiers are in town!!!! Seriously though, let me know when you go. I agree, I must be very bored to respond to Sparky's garbage, maybe he does get some sick pleasure out of being so annoying, who knows! Someone has to stay after him,though.

I considered inviting him on a trip with me to the Badlands, but then thought it wouldn't be such a great idea........it would most likely lead to something ugly and solve nothing.

Have a great time down there, and watch those mudholes, they can be deceiving!!!!

 

We were there Thurs night, all day Friday, and most of the day Saturday. We left after the big rainstorm came through and turned some of the park into small creeks! It was fun to fly through them though!!! I was on a few different quads, but mainly on a black and red Warrior, hard to miss, don't see very many 87's around. I was also on a 400ex, Scrambler, and Quadrunner500 with a Warn winch up front. Man, that stinks about your quad going down, did you have an extra? Hope you still had a good time!

 

From Brewster:

"... Some laws and governments are unreasonable, and meant to be broken or overthrown, because they were put into place by corrupt lawmakers...."

From Diablo:

"... So if my buddy had not had his spark arrester, and had caught grief for being over the db limit(also), we would have parked it and used a spare, easy as that...."

From Mudcat:

"...but just one thing; My "kids" do not hold ***ME*** back from having fun...."

The last quote is the one that pretty much sums up (for me) what has gone wrong with this country.

I've witnessed MOTHERS up on this net who have put their 6-year old little children between themselves and their handlebars.........headed up into the Appalachian mountains (at NIGHT, no less)....... and have then cussed out anybody who had a thing to say about it!

And then we've got mudcat here.........who has tried his best to convince us all (and his kids) that going on down to Windrock and enjoying their ageless, helmetless, double-upping...........can be quite 'enlightening'!

(mudcat):
"....For a little more fun with out the restrictions on age, helmets,or riding double.... check out Coal Creek mining in Oliver Springs, TN.!!!

I've seen more of today's kids get 'hurt' (both physically and emotionally) by parents who "don't let their kids hold them back from having (their) fun".......... than I even care to think about.

Beam me up, Scotty.....................................[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

 

From blackballed
<STRONG>And aren't those the same trails and hills that <EM>you</EM> "just have to go up/down".....in order for "you" to have the best time there and not be straddled with what that machine is capable of at that venue? Gosh, it wouldn't be "fair" if you didn't get to go to all the places you 'wanted to' at LBL.........because the darn KIDS were the ones holding you back! (I've seen this used as an excuse for "doubling up" with kids....... too many times to count).

Blackballed is the one that said my kids held me back. Both of my kids have their own quads and ride them well be it on a trail or in pasture. There is no need to double up. When we ride at Windrock we wear helmets and ride our own quad. Be it however one that the all too powerful goverment says is too big. I will raise my kids the way I see fit if the damn liberals don't like it they can go to hell.

I would be willing to bet that Blackballed is a Clinton, Gore supporter. Just talks too much like a liberal. I bet it just tears him up to go outside away from his computer and see all the laws being broken and rules not followed.

 

I stayed for the rainstorm, and no that was all i had. yeah, the trails turned into creeks and the creeks tuned into rivers, it was especially fun to hyrdoplane across them.

 

HyflyinRaptorRider- Ya, it was pretty fun driving through some of those small creeks, wish we could have stayed longer! The storm didn't drive us away, we had to hit the highway, though. Hope you get your Raptor back up and running soon.

Mudcat- He refered to my past teachers as "liberals," so my guess is he's in denial! That last reply from him just really tugged at my heartstrings.......can't..........stop..........cr ying...........Maybe this means he's going to mind his own business and stay the hell out of ours! We can only dream!!!!!!!!!!
