[zilla954]

I'm going to try to be there early to catch the "potential OHV area" portion.  I will probably be wearing my RODMAN 4 shirt.  See you there!

  (bump) keep this  tocpic going on.Lets talk more about this subject.Keep flooding this topic to other atv forums web sites out there.Alot people need know

[jwscroll]

So what happened?

[SkyHighT100]

Sorry, but why in the world should we flood this post to other forums? We have been talking so much on here and doing nothing. By flooding other forum it will just make a lot more people do nothing.

Now, if we actually start taking action then by all means open the flood gates!! Something needs to be done ASAP because we are losing areas FAST and we as riders can not afford to lose anymore. It's basically speak now or deal with the concequices of staying silent.

All I know, is that if we can get the major manufacturers, the dealers, and the riders involved we could definately make an impact. The dealers and the manufacturers are fixing to lose a bunch of money and they need to realize that ASAP.

There are probably more riding areas in florida than any other state....you just have to be in a GOLF Cart.All the land available is being developed...the critters need their share what is left ?  In 50 years we will big one big city from daytona to the keys , with a preserve called the EverGlades and a few small woody patches . I'll tell my great grandkids " hopefully " about these thing we used to ride called ATV's....The good'ole days .

It sucks.... But sooo true!

[wheelie_boy]

ill go.

[jbbj220]

Alright people are we just going to talk or are we going to do something?? I am just a poor hard working stiff, I am not a lawyer and do not know any important people, but there are over 2000 members of this site. Surely among that number there is at least one lawyer that would donate some time to this or some one that is a good organizer to step up and get this going. There have been 2269 hits on this subject and 175 replies the topic was started Mar,22 that is a long time and still nothing. If only 1/2 of the hits show up to a protest it is still a good number. We need to plan something for the opening day of the next legeslation session. There have been some very good ideas, lets start a poll and pick one idea and run with it. I for one like the caravan to capital at 50 MPH on the interstate. I am in and will take time off to be there. I know I have gone on but we need to do something.

[MuddyGurl101]

When is the start of the next legistlation session? Maybe we can pull some permits to all stand up and down the sides of a road near the state capital with bikes and all.

[jbbj220]

OK, here I go again!!

The Florida State Legislature session starts on the 1st Tuesday after the 1st Monday in March and last for 60 days. If I have looked at the calender right that means that the session starts on March 7, 2006. The first day of the session always gets alot of attion from the media all over the state. As I said in an earler post this has been going on since March of this year and longer in some cases, if we set a date of March 7, 2006 for a protest at the capital then it should get some attention.

That date will be almost a year since this was started.

This needs to include not only quads but the motercycles also. Get FTR involved, and any and all clubs in the state.

Someone that has the time and the ability to set this up PLEASE step up.
