went to elsinore to do our usual riding off lake street, but the road was blocked off so we couldn't get in, i saw a couple of people up there who rode around the road closed sign but i didn't have a 4x4. so we went to central exit area. The MAN showed up very pissed, apparently someone on a yamaha did doughnuts in front of him and roosted him.
unluckily for my riding buddy, he happens to be riding a yamaha too. got cuffed and was told he was going to jail, get his bike impounded, for exhibition of speed in front of an officer and riding on private property.
the only way my friend (a beginner like myself) could do a doughnut and roost somebody is in his dreams. we tried to explain it wasn't us, the MAN didn't buy our story so now he and my other friend are in cuffs on their knees, explaining that we have no skills, even showed the bike purchase which was two days before we went riding. I got a flat tire earlier in the day so i was in regular street clothes and my bike was already on the trailer, he didn't cuff me. I guess the cop calmed down a little and felt my friends bikes, and they were very cold since they stopped riding when i got my flat. he then was convinced it wasn't us and let us go, didn't even give us a ticket for riding on private land. he kind of lightened up, but took their names in case we are found on the premises again.
so no more elsinore for us. and i really liked that riding area. and whoever taunted that cop in the blue yamaha and silver helmet, you really got him pissed off. that wasn't very nice!! he was so mad he cuffed my friends wrists so tight he still had indentions on his skin from the cuffs.
