Bullshit @ Glamis

[DopeyTripod]

Silver Lake is a fucking rangers paradise for having power. they stand at the ebtrance and let people in with out sparks and just choose who they pull over to the side. I have been let in the dune many time without sparkys and been told to go back and put on a sparky too.

 

bottom line is its the law and thats the way it is.

 

does it suck balls? yes.

 

are rangers dicks? not all but most are, specialy that fat necked troll at the dune entrance( you know who I mean) that guys is a total ball lapper.

 

 

just my .02 rant.

 

same can be said about marijuana laws.

 

 

oh by the way...

 

FUCK THE POLICE.

 

FTP.

fuck that PUTO!!! (officer Farva.)

[bode1]

I'm playing devils advocate here.

 

Did you know spark arrestors were required to ride there? I'm sure you did.

Do I agree with having to use them? Fuck no....we have to use them here in the dunes at Silver Lake.

 

Just because I don't agree with the law doesn't mean I get to make my own choice to break it and expect no consequences.

 

AND....if you were a smart ass to the ranger, you definately deserved it. You think you're the only person who mouthed off to him that day?

I'd bet you had a better chance of not getting a ticket if you would've minded your P's and Q's.

 

I don't agree with spark arrestors period. There's yet to be a forest fire attributed to an ORV.

Last I checked...sand isn't very flammable.

 

So...our freeway speed limits are 70MPH. I think it should be 90...so I'm just gonna drive 90...then I'll not only complain about getting pulled over, I'll be a smart ass to the cops and get the whole ticket (20 over) vs. being nice, accepting that I broke the law, and getting maybe only a 5 over ticket or even a friendly warning.

 

Basically you're here complaining about having to pay 25 dollars to break the law....

I know, it sucks...everyone around you is breaking the law, they don't get caught....that doesn't change the fact you did in fact break it.

 

Come to Michigan...I think it's a 150 dollar fine. And they will get you every time. They check you before you even go into the dunes...

 

Excellent points. Yes sir, no sir and sorry sir go a long way with cops. Not all of them want to break your balls. Most of them are pretty cool. Theres a couple everywhere that are assholes though.

 

[dirtydownunder]

at least they still let you ride, they have banned us from riding in most places here.

you can try no sir yes sir but some authorities think there all that when there fuk all and mostly intrested in easy peti shit.

 

haha give them some fun and out run them, its what they want.

Eddies Silver bike is strong as hell. Good running bike in a straight line. Beat me twice in the Turkey Shoot. As for you getting a ticket I think that if you werent a smart ass the would of let u go. And as for them pulling you over. Cops can spot a knuckle head from a mile away. LoL. Im just glad u didnt get pulled over on my bike Eddie. CAPS LOCK!!!

 

CAPSLOCK (marine : Sean) whats up, ur bike runs pretty good as well... love the suspention, it felt nice. you should of took my bike for a blast.. theres allways next time i guess.... and for the the knuckle head comment ... i deal with u when i see you ...lolll

 

Socal909 whats up .. nice bike bro , nice to meet you out there even though you didnt have the 5 girls you promised swinging from the stripper pole !!! well have to try again another time !

 

04chase - they didnt even look at my vin numbers but i did have a ny plate with a 09 reg sticker

 

zack45 yes it is on craigslist .. where u go riding ? ur in si right ?

 

for the record ---> didnt come I off like a smart ass when i got pulled over, i dont disrespest anyone, cop or no cop untill i am disrespected. when he started writing with out asking me or saying anything i just starting getting pisssed... (at the moment i just wanted to get back over and find everyone)

 

jugg riggs ---> leave all your cop bullshit for when your working your 8 hrs in your state, dont come on here and act and act like your the fucken ranger in glamis...

there are people there doing drugs, drinking , flying through camps, and riding stolen shit ect...

then u got me totally legit bike, doing the speed limit, all proper paperwork and i get pin pointed out of thousands of people... i am aware if rangers have to do there jobs. but then i have 2 rangers and one of them are looking in my exhaust for spark arresters and 10 ft away the other ranger is saying i have no idear why he pulled you over , i never even heard of checking for that ....... shit like that just get u pissed !

**if they would of told me when i got there you need a sticker, paperwork and spark arrectors maybe people would have them .... its like entrapment!! plus they could make more money selling spark arrestors no??

 

sooo jugg riggs go bust some crystal meth camp in your area! dont come on a banshee site and stick up for some scumbag ranger that just wants to fucken fuck with people tring to do the right thing! ---

i guess i should just expect that from you anyway ! --- do us all a favor "GO to a Police Power web site , maybe those members might wanna hear your bullshit, because we don't !

 

guys excuse my long post , but i wanted to address some things!

i dont come on the site everyday so just excuse the delay sometimes !

[R. Rollins]

Damned it all;'

 

 

I cant beleive that Glamis is where all the hastles are at these days.

 

Crap: Ill be damed if I drive for two days to get there and dont have my papers physically on me when I ride.

 

Ill be Damed if I dont have a phamplet or some print out of all the current rules and regulations on me when I arrive.

Ill be also damed if I dont fail to pay when I should and where I should when I get there.

 

If noise requirements are 94db or so , Then Id have my damed hush kit installed and ride all over the place and not have to get hassled.

Hell for a 2,000 mile road trip, Id even make sure that I was rigged up for flag lights, a GPS set up and a base camp strobe for all the night ridding I would do there.

 

I may ebven get some cool as hell USGS maps for an even better ridding experience.

 

It sucks to see that some here have experienced the wrath of Kahn cops there while trying to enjoy the Glamis experiences.

He (the cop) will get someone.

It it too bad that you were caught.

My wife gets all the speeding tickets in this family as I got all mine in 1982 driving a 1970 Mach 1 mustang with a 428 super cobra jet "shaker"engine at over 128 miles per hour...."9 times".

I learned the hard way.

 

My In-Laws live in Yuma and I want to ride there soon.

 

Man that sucks that it happened....hell just pay the fine and dont worry too much about it..Its all over with, now its someone elses turn to get the ticket.

 

I am now wondering if it is so harsh at Glamis all the time?

IS it?

When I was stationed at Yuma, I can still remember women flashing there tits at us Jarheads in the hummers and % ton trucks as we went out to the dessert to set up our team positions for "WTI" exercises. Has all that fun gone away.

The concrete irrigation canals were great places to camp and get awesome parties started at. Has all that changed with the new commercialism?

 

Damed I havent been there in 10 years now.

 

Is Glamis and the othere nearby areas still worth the trip?

 

I hope I didnt piss anyone off, I just get a more even keeled attitude about tickets and fines as I get older.

A good glass of Iced down "Sangria" on a hot dessert night calms my nerves when I get pissed.

 

Peace out :cool:

Apparently not...if you would've had the required spark arrestors, then you could say it was Legit, you wouldn't have gotten pulled over, you wouldn't have gotten a ticket...and you wouldn't be 25 in the poor house.

 

If you weren't a smart ass, and only you and those there would know that...then you've done all you can.

 

As said, yes sir, no sir go a long way.

 

I hate having sparkies in the dunes. Makes no sense whatsoever. Hell...we have you beat. We have a decible limit you get checked for if you ride in (we throw the drag bikes in the back of trucks)

 

Sometimes they're out checking, sometimes they're not. My understanding is the equipment has been broken lately (at 150 a pop for a no sparky ticket, I find it hard to believe it's due to lack of funding....)

 

It's like anything else, you break the law....you take the risk of getting caught. I'd gladly leave the sparkies off for a 25 dollar fine in MI.

150 is a little bigger bite out of the wallet.

[Keyser Soze]

typical cop attitude. the above stories are instances where cops were being dicks for no good reason..

 

im sorry, but this country is in a world of shit, and the only thing the government is worried about is lining their pockets with petty seat belt and stop sign violations.

 

you are a pawn of the government. you sit and stay when told. its unfortunate that shit has to be that way, but dont act like cops are out there just doing their job to better their country. thats utter nonsense.

 

giving guys in the dunes tickets for not having spark arrestors is ridiculous. there is nothing in the dunes that will burn, and if those dumb ass park rangers cant see that, and realize its stupid then they are just pawns of the government.

 

its the blind leading the blind. the government doesnt have a fucking clue as to what its doing. and stupid ass cops just blindly follow them around like a lost puppy dog.

 

LOCO....LEADER of the free world.I'm not saying a ticket for not having sparkies in a dessert isn't total bullshit but if its on the books its on the books and must be enforced. What if you worked in a factory making widgets...then you went to work one day and decided you were not going to make widgets...you would be canned. Laws are in place for a reason. Law cant be to specific...You have to have a sparkier in the woods....unless its raining.....or if its really wet...I dont even know where glamis is at but the law probably states you have to have a sparkie in ALL areas, due to the fact there are probably some riding areas in that state that have some woods. I guarantee that guy had an attitude with the ranger. Like Ed Rooney said..you mess with the bull you get the horns.

 

"but dont act like cops are out there just doing their job to better their country. thats utter nonsense" This county is a world of shit? DUDE go to the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Take your bikes your old lady...see how long your shit lasts over there. Things are not perfect but we still live in the best country in the world.

No equipment...fully engulfed..guess we are just pawns of the government

Shit Dave, I was unloading my banshee from the back of my buddy

[INFINITIED]

asshore : love that name... lolll

i should of brought the indy banshee :thumbsup:

 

---------------,

its not the point of the $25, it the point that i have to call them every week till the ranger decides to put the tickets in .

i know the useless law was broke , and it was my fault for not eventhinking about spark arrestors.

----------------

why i even entertain some of you idiots i have no idear , its pathetic how a few shit heads could make the any post turn into a battle .....

 

post was to guys i know and met from glamis, just to give other guys a head up for next time.

not for any idiot out there with something stupid to say ......

 

i am sure after i post this message there will be an idiot thats has to respond !

[dajogejr]

I'll be that idiot.

Don't break the law....

 

Asswhore, a guy we rode with Dan Sands (Speedrip) got hit two years in a row...I watched them get him Memorial day last year....

 

What can ya do?

[zach45]

zack45 yes it is on craigslist .. where u go riding ? ur in si right ?

 

go up to jessup pa.. down to south jersey(georges 82 62 ETC)

where yous go riding?

[shanYE west]

You break the law.. your rolling the dice.. If you dont like to gamble.. Dont break the law. Its pretty simple.

 

Yeah we need sparkies here too.. but.. if we dont use them. its $150 or we dont ride.. hmm.. I think logic tells me to use the sparkies.

 

It cracks me up when people complain about getting caught and payin the price. Yeah.. there is dick head LEO's out there.. but.. They gotta do what they gotta do. and if you know there out there.. Then dont do anything wrong.. and you wont have a problem.

[tony cub]

so do they even make spark aresters for cpis or shearers???

what do you do if your running drag pipes???

sorry if it sounds like stupid ?s,but we dont use them down here anywhere...

[shanYE west]

I'll be that idiot.

Don't break the law....

 

Asswhore, a guy we rode with Dan Sands (Speedrip) got hit two years in a row...I watched them get him Memorial day last year....

Make sure your sparkies are on!!! lol

 

They almost got me on labor day.. I just got done with a run and got back onto the start line.. then a DNR truck come flyin out of no where and fliped the lights on. Ran out of his truck and said you dont have spark arrestors. I was like "I dont??" "Isn't that what them big shitty looking things are? and (laughed about it)" he said " Ohh.. didn't see them, Just saw the flash of chrome and thought you weren't runing any... Sorry about that." I was like "no problem" I wasn't pissed at him.. he was just doing his job.... Yeha the rule sucks.. but... It is what it is.. like it or not.. If you dont like it and choose not use us spark arrestor.. then we you get caught... take it like man and dont bitch about it..
