Everyone here have an ORV sticker for the Big Cypress?

crom A zone · March 19, 2009, 07:02:53 PM

I do not because my 4x4 has no breaks and can not pass inspection. Do you no if they will let my other bike pass its 2wd 400cc bike has working lights and breaks front tires are lil over 7 inches wide

Anoriginal · March 19, 2009, 07:12:08 PM

Believe it or not, you don't need brakes to pass.

JOE3504x4 · March 19, 2009, 07:48:07 PM

Well said.

Anyone want to plan an informal meeting for those of us concerned and wanting to do something? This includes you too 4x4Matt.

No set outline. Just a meeting to share thoughts and ideas and maybe begin to get something organized. It's got to start somewhere.

Because we are all so spread out, at first a web site with a forum that is not linked to any of the sites we use. A neutral forum. A moderator that "Removes" all non-topic related posts. No funny business. As Thomas Jefferson said "I never considered a difference of opinion in politics, in religion, in philosophy, as cause for withdrawing from a friend." In our case "friend" means "a fellow ATV enthusiast".

I would volunteer in any capacity I can.

Well?

Ok, if you build it they will come?

This is the easiest way to access the usenet, the last wild west on the internet where censorship does not exist is through google. The preferred way to access it is through outlook and your ISP server, but google works. I posted a few test messages there to see if anyone can find them.

I have also tried to fix up a forum.

You, AO and a few others would make great mods on this completly UNCENSORED forum. At least we can post naked pics. lol

Can we still get prv permits for the big cypress or is it closed till July?
I grew up in Bear Island unit on Turner River Road but just havnt got my sticker on my RZR.I did call and I am still in the computer so it should be fairly painless.Only thing is I will be needing like 5 ORV permits.

Anoriginal · March 20, 2009, 09:23:53 AM

The preserve gets closed for May - July. Only property owners allowed inside the preserve at that time. And then, only to travel directly to their camp and out. No riding around.

JackL -

I've responded to the threads on Google. Ready to go man!

I am about to move my rear 26x12x12's to the front of my bike. I am concerned the front wheels aren't wide enough, but hopefully it will make them a bit taller so the new 27" gators I have for the rear line up perfectly.

So, yes I do believe I will be ready. I may just have a front locker as well. I do have a reputation to uphold.

Just click on this: http://floridaoffroad.tk/

Jack, I am all set up. You da man!

VForcedave · March 20, 2009, 01:21:05 PM

I am signed up as well. But I will continue to ride in questionable areas and I promise I will not disturb the Tortoise, or the Blue Peckered Florida Fich. But I will take a shot at a stinky old hog with my new Sig Sauer P250 in the 40 Cal mode. The 9MM shot just does not work as well in the P250.

Good to see that Realityhello is gone, what a homo.

I agree, he was saying mean things to me. I think he is pretty tight with Analoriginal

Gato · March 20, 2009, 05:22:18 PM

I signed in but I do not see how to reply?

Gato · March 21, 2009, 09:59:38 AM

At the time I looked when I wrote this there were 1508 views lets see if we can do more than just read. I know it is not easy but only nothing can come out of nothing. We at atvmiaxtreme may be planning a talk if any of you are willing and able to come when it is planned you are welcome in my book.

Gato · March 21, 2009, 10:02:05 AM

I know some outside Miami live further but lets try to set something up and the ones further we fill in and maybe count them in on the ride for more important times when we need head counts that matter

zman03 · March 21, 2009, 11:40:11 AM

I will be out there between 2-3pm if anyone is interested?

yachtin · March 21, 2009, 12:17:44 PM

Is there anyone going to see what is going on at 8th street this weekend as to the parking?

zman03 · March 21, 2009, 12:23:21 PM

I was there this morning and told the people out there about the FWC writing tickets and giving people summons to appear in court for trespassing. They were appreciative for the info. I will be back between 2-3pm I hope to meet with some people out there. I will be along s.w.40st between 157ave and 162 ave next to the power station.
