[QUOTE="Ol'89r, post: 1192996, member: 17212"] Weather or not I take the kid riding is besides the point. The point I was making was, how much fun the kid has been missing out on because of his in-your-face attitude. Now, like oldguy said, I'm more concerned about losing the trails we have left. I actually was thinking about taking him but, the day before I wrote this thread he fired up his unsilenced bike and rode it up and down his driveway for about a half hour. That is what prompted me to write this thread. He is 19 or older now and old enough to know better. Also, he has some friends that come over and ride with him. None of them have silencers or spark arresters and one of them rides a quad that is unbelievably loud. There is no way in hell I would show those guys the trails now. Those of you that show your neighbors no respect are only hurting yourselves and all of us that ride. We all wear brightly colored helmets and riding gear. The general non-riding public doesn't know one of us from the other. So, when a group of us act like jerks, they lump all of us together and think we all act like that. That is why it is so important for us to police our own. Talk to these guys and attempt to explain to them what they are doing to our sport. If they don't listen, ignore them or ban them from your group. After a while they won't have anybody to ride with except those of their own kind and they can ride up and down their own driveways as much as they want for all I care. They will get bored and soon find another sport to screw up. Good riddance! :nod: Don't get me wrong, I'm not baggin' on all teenagers. I am very impressed by some of our 14-15-16 year olds on DRN. A couple of our young Canuck members are very intelligent and respectful beyond their years. :cool: It's the one's that come on here and say it's ok to tell your neighbors to take a hike when they complain about noise and dust. It's ok to be rude. It's my property and I'll do as I damn well please. :yell: Well, that doesn't work anymore kiddies. With development closing in around us all, we can't do as we damn well please anymore. If we aren't respectful to our neighbors and the public in general, we will be the one's that lose. Believe me, I've seen it. :| To the others, thank you for the kind words. :cool: [/QUOTE]
