Just came back from loading up, unloading, then loading up and then unloading again. The riding spot five minutes from my house is now under new ownership and we are not allowed to ride there anymore. Right after unloading a guy come out of the trails on a KTM and we were chatting. Then...... a cop rolls up and gives us the bad news. He was nice enough to let us off with warnings and take our information so that next time we get caught there it will be a trespassing ticket. I'm really pissed because I bought the xx knowing that we had a riding spot right there, the next closest one is an hour away and like that it is gone. I live in the middle of Ohio with f ing land and f ing farms all around me and there is no where to ride. Go figure that out. Thanks for letting me blow off some steam. I am going to be up for some road trips so anyone who wants to ride let me know.

That bites man. I am sorry to hear that.

Where I used to live there was nowhere near to ride so I kept my wheeler at my friend's father's house that had state land and trails down the road. My friend's kept their wheelers there too and it was an awesome place to ride but his fathers house was nearly an hour away and I ended up selling the wheeler because riding was just too inconvenient. I swore I would never get another again until I have land by my house. My new house does so I bought my 700 but if for some reason I couldn't ride here anymore I think I'd give the 700 up too. I love wheelers and the variety of riding but when hassle is involved it's not worth it to me because I can start riding my streetbike the second my garage opens.

SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT THE RIDE.

 

[Tory trx]

Its alright. I have calmed down a bit it was just the location was perfect but I am going to contact the new owners of the land and try to persuade them to let us ride for as long as we can.

 

[wylee]

hang in there, it sucks. we pay for, reg, ins. were does the money go for us to ride? im in ny its no better...

 

[tbird88]

I dont have to drive nowhere to ride,if i ride at the house,i live out in the country, surrounded by papercompany land,i have acess to about 50,000 acres of logging roads,the only time we got to watch it is during deer season. there is two offroad parks about 40 minutes from the house too. the two parks charge 35$ a day

 

[jamie007]

Sorry to hear the bad news! I feel your pain! I just got a ticket today for dust, and I can no longer ride from my house. Feds said no riding at all in the Las Vegas Valley!

 

[biznutz]

Where in Ohio are you?

 

[Tory trx]

I am in Springboro. Just between Cincinnati and Dayton. Columbus is an hour and a half away from me. We should meet up and ride. Any places up there? Glad to see a fellow Ohioan.

 

[Tory trx]

Well.......I just contacted the new realty company for that property and he said that it is some big wig company who now owns it. I asked him for their info and he said no you have to go through us, so I asked him if we could get any form of written permission to ride there and he said no absolutely not. Then I said that we would even sign waivers and even make a donation or ride fee to ride. Again he said no. So instead of letting people do what they have been for the last 25 years, they are gonna let it sit there and rot because there are no plans in the near future for development. What is this world coming to. Sorry to the white collars but suits suck.
