NOTE TO ALLL ATV DEALERS!! NO PLACE TO RIDE= NO NEED TO BUY!!

J.D. · January 20, 2005, 05:56:21 AM

Exactly . I am also goin to contact the state to see if there is anything they can do to help remedy this dissaster of no riding areas they have allowed to develope . Maybe some breaks for the owner . Just an idea .

KSCFIRE · January 20, 2005, 06:39:13 AM

If this does come to happen, and it's begins to work for the good. Is there more land adjacent to this land that could be used for expansion. If so maybe the state could work something out with the landowners for a land lease or other incentives and could still have use for their agricultural uses.

J.D. · January 20, 2005, 06:53:42 AM

I just sent Gov BUSH a letter . Basicall I told hime we are not criminals , we are just not represented . I asked him if there are any incentives the state could possibly offer landowners ,such as the one I will be meeting , to make it benefitial to them to give us local areas . Dont worry... I had my wife type it up . She is much better at it than me .

The biggest thing the state can do for private land owners is pass legislation to limit their liability, like they have for equestrian sites. The liability insurance is the biggest cost for a private land owner.

J.D. · January 20, 2005, 07:46:41 AM

I agree , but we really need people to take responsibility for their own actions and stop using the legal system as a way to retire . It is killing all the fun stuff . My dad alway had a saying, 2.things I hate to hear is a grown man cry and a fat baby fart . It took me a long time to figure it out , but now I understand .

Not true:

JD: the state has a program where they can assist by issuing a grant. The only thing is, the paper work is very tedious and time consuming. Let me know and I can get you the paper work for your review.

Just another piece, of our sport.

Keep us updated J. Looks we are making progress with the SQUARES as well. Lets keep it going.

J.D. · February 10, 2005, 11:58:12 AM

We are set up to talk on Feb 17 at 1:00 . I will keep you posted .

Skitzo · February 13, 2005, 07:07:47 PM

I live on the martin hwy outside of okeechobee. I will be willing also to help in any way possible! I too like the idea of fees to access this property, non alcohol only( as for my 5yr old rides his own quad), and helmet law. Thats great!

You may be able to draw up some sort of no liability clause that keeps the owner safe and these forms being notarized for his protection. I am a notary and am willing to donate my services if need be.

Keep me posted on this as for I just lost my riding spot at the praire.

Tomorrow is the day , I will let ya'll know what happens .So far this project is taking alot of time and effort , so I hope we can get your support when needed . I hope to set an example for other atv dealers that a place like this is possible with a little effort but as long as people are doing business with them I guess they dont really have the need or desire .

KSCFIRE · February 16, 2005, 06:22:23 PM
