shouted at and push off the road by a man in a white van

ok -- I got you ZnsaneRyder

Sorry you got a ticket for that when you were 14, that really sucks.

I'm NOT lost, as you just heard of my Lakeland FL neighborhood in the US that does allow it. In my neighborhood is a private residential neighborhood.

the ticket at 14 was not that big a deal
don't do the crime if you can't do the time
and I knew I was taking a risk of getting caught

guilty Mountainman here of not paying attention -- I guess

facts are -- 13 year olds CAN NOT RIDE on public roads or highways

I also live on a private (couple of miles dirt riding road)

sure -- we can do whatever we wish here -- we own it
kids and grown ups ride all kinds of THINGS up and down the road (fast and slow)
dogs are not kept in their yards -- run all over the place
try to stay to ourselfs -- don't call the pooolice much up here
we call it -- country living


ride that thing

I agree with most of what you write, but to keep this real, this is NOT true where I live.

A 13 year old can't legally ride a MC on the street. Go karts aren't legal in any form. And we have noise restrictions on cars as do most municipalities.

But the whitevanjerk IS not that law!!

Thanks Pablo. I want to keep it real, and I want 4wdingman to get justice, and stop being harrassed by that man! That stinks, but after some research, I find it has to be a private community like mine, to allow minors riding gas toys, and in city areas it can be enforced, thanks for the heads up!

I'm so sick and tired of older people picking on younger people, and it's time the scores become even!

Don't confuse freedom with anarchy. Violating laws, fleeing the police and making a nuisance of one's self does not advance either the personal or the collective agenda of the rest of the MB riders. No wonder other private citizens are outraged and the law makers make it harder to ride a MB. Please, let's start using our God given brains.

Nothing like that in this thread was mentioned, please explain?

We need to use our God-Given Brains to think for ourselves.

Old man

Sounds like the old guy just lost his cool and was at his breaking point,we don,t know how sick his wife is and what kind of problems he,s having at home. Best is just to leave it and take it as experience and knowing to stay away from that house from now on.
If he ever lays a finger on you or attempts to run you down again then yes call the cops, but for now I would drop it and leave it be.

 

[HoughMade]

That guy sure got crazy...but first and formost- just stay away from his house and his street.

I can tell I have some neighbors that think less of my bikes but I have just as many that think what I have is way cool. If I ever have anyone try to endanger my life you better believe they will get a confrontation.
