[QUOTE="bbbom, post: 879129, member: 16301"] So Hobroff, since you are not fortunate enough to own property where you can now ride, you don't want others to enjoy that luxury on their own property? Just to put this little gem in perspective, in areas with smaller tracts of land, most structures aren't too far off of the property line. An acre of land measures 66' x 660'. With the 600' limit, assuming the nearest structure or affected area is on the property line, a person with anything less than 40 acres could not ride an OHV at all on their own property. With 40 acres of land, you could ride in a 3600 sf area in the center of the property (theoretically). You say that riding on your own property is "harrassment:, what about lawnmowers, barking dogs, etc. are they held to any noise restrictions? As far as the Noise Problem with ORV's that is just another excuse that the anti-ORV people use to get areas closed down. I agree there are bikes (usually 4 strokes with "high performance exhaust" systems) that are way too loud but the "industry's" self admonishment on the noise issue to me is absolutely ludicrious. We bow to the noise restrictions and they will find something else to complain about. The anti-ORVer's want us to GO AWAY period. We need to stand up to this bull**** and say NO, we are sick of losing our RIDING areas and our PROPERTY rights. Personally, this law will not affect me. I live in the middle of 70 acres and my closest neighbor is a 1/4 mile away (his house IS on the property line BTW). The other adjoining property is all privately owned timberland with no structures other than deer stands. My kids and their buddies ride at our place all the time and they will continue to do so with or without this bogus bill passing. What this is about is NOT harrassment by the ORV'ers, it's harrassment by the anti-ORVers. This is just one more way to pick away at our right to ride. They win a little here, they win a little there. Hope you have a nice public riding area to ride in. My family and I will continue to fight for the public riding areas, the private riding areas, the private property rights AND win, lose or draw we will continue to ride on OUR property. Too bad not everyone can say the same thing. [/QUOTE]
