From the palm beach post today:

LOXAHATCHEE — Palm Beach County sheriff's deputies last weekend charged six people with trespassing on undeveloped land at 59th Lane and 200 Trail North. The lot leads to more than 100 acres that partyers have been using to ride all-terrain vehicles and light fires. After nearly a year of complaints from neighbors, the property owner last week erected "no-trespassing" signs from the sheriff's office. Deputies also issued three written warnings and stopped 11 vehicles en route to the land. Law enforcement plans to closely monitor the site, Capt. Chris Calloway said. "We're taking a zero-tolerance stance."

wilburz · February 09, 2006, 01:04:38 PM

isnt that near where those kids on the atv crashed.
(pbso posted the pic of the bloody bike)

wilburz · February 09, 2006, 02:56:29 PM

might be, but I don't think so. I thought those kids were on the street somewhere down by coconut?

Mudneck · February 09, 2006, 03:47:12 PM

Nothing for Nothing,
But what sucks worse about the ATV thing on dirt roads is the construction equipment ,loaders,tractors etc.Got stuck behind one on Sem-Pratt going south towards Okeechobee rd!

Whats up with that??? They are not regitered NO tag and the cops leave them alone?

TOTAL BS!!!!!!!!!

At least the ATV dont hold up a mile traffic!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MachineDog · February 09, 2006, 04:54:54 PM

Maybe that's what we should do.. just take our backhoe mudding.

I'm sure the 4wd on it can pull through a buttload.

They are considered farm equipment therefore dont have to be registered. I used to road run them and loved it when i got a cop stuck behind me. Anyone else and i would have pulled over.

bluesman · February 09, 2006, 08:44:54 PM

your lucky they didnt tazer you to death!!!!

Mudneck · February 09, 2006, 09:34:11 PM

So If I go to Fl coast equipment & order a backhoe attachment from a small kubota I can mount it on the back & call the QUAD farm equipment?

ROC0999 · February 09, 2006, 10:04:19 PM

that was a really cool place to ride, its a shame

Hey, our's IS farm equipment. We've used the box in the cat for everything from dirt to trees.

lol But I don't think putting a backhoe attachment on it will make it street legal.

wilburz · February 10, 2006, 08:01:42 AM

What if I put a crack sleeper on the back of my atv? Would that make my bike a backhoe?

Now thats funny!

PBSO_ATV_Deputy_4 · February 10, 2006, 08:43:21 AM

The ATV crash occurred at Seminole Pratt & 60th St N. This is very close to the enforce property, as 60th is the main road to the area. I also think the dump trucks are worse than the construction equipment!!!

Definately gets the point across. Hopefully more people see this photo.

MachineDog · February 10, 2006, 12:50:08 PM

60th is sugarsand.

The only trucks you see out there are 4x4s and an occasional super beat-up car. Oh, and that tractor trailer we saw get stuck out there on that sugarsand.

dirtyface · February 10, 2006, 01:22:07 PM

Now thats not funny. Man what did the guy hit?

PBSO_ATV_Deputy_4 · February 10, 2006, 11:59:56 PM

60th St N has dirt and paved portions. It's paved from Seminole Pratt, west, then turns to dirt when you cross the canal. There it turns into 59th Lane N. The ATV crash occurred when the rider attempted to cross Seminole Pratt from 60th St N. and was struck by a northbound truck. The rider and his 2 passengers (3 on the ATV) were flown out. I was the second unit on scene.

MachineDog · February 11, 2006, 11:28:43 AM

Damn, why the hell were they at seminole pratt?? Most of us like to stay away from paved roads.
