:censored: Well I cant ride my kart around my neighborhood anymore. Was riding with my buddy in this parking lot (that I have been using for the past year and a half) and he pulls up in his suv and tells me in a nutshell "that's a bad idea." So now I'm stuck riding in the middle of nowhere every 6-8 months where myself and my motor eat dirt all day. Karting is my only hobby I have and I love it more than I do a LOT of people. I understand he was doing his job but I mean people wonder why kids my age (15ish) do dumb :censored: like smoke weed, impregnate young girls, and play video games all day. IMHO I think its partly because we cant do things like this anymore. Do this 20-30 yrs ago and get smiles and thumbs up all around. Sorry, rant over. I just really don't know what to do.

Do it anyway, and tell "him" (who by the way?) what you just told us. Respectfully of course, I think that will get you along way. If not Do it anyway!

Do not tell your parents you got this advice from me! I would rather have you in trouble then impregnating girls. I have a 15yr old Daughter. NO.

Are you running a muffler, and running at reasonable hour's? Not tearing up the place, leaving trash or anything?

Are you ready for this?????

Seriously!!!!!

Sounds like this guy is just a peckerhead....So...here's what you do....

Respectfully, ask him for identification...(official law enforcement)
..when he CAN'T. produce it...respectfully GET THE CRAP OUTTA THERE!

Then get on your Cell....and call 911...report a strange man making sexual advances to you....

You now OWN that parking lot!

That guy sucked, and the vid looked staged. I mean, all he did was ride alongside the road he was going down anyway, then turn around, go back down the same road, turn around in someone's back yard, then go back the way he was in the first place lol. Not a very solid get away plan.

I will say, I have ridden my kart up and down the road, and people were tolerant of it. I do not advocate that anyone should do that. It's too hard to see a kart from an actual vehicle. I have a friend who went to prison because he was driving a little girl in a kart, they got hit by a passenger car, and the girl died. Negligence resulting in death.

An empty parking lot, at a reasonable hour, shouldn't be an issue. And unless the property owners complain, it isn't a legal one.

Sorry for the late response!:oops:

I have a muffler, run between 11am-5pm for about half an hour at a time, and I don't tear up the lot. He is a sheriff, and I obey road laws as well as I can. In the neighborhood I keep it at ~20, use bike hand signals and I roll away from stops smoothly. In a nutshell, I'm not a hoon.

The deal is though (and I found this out just recently) that there is someone in a nearby neighborhood called riverlakes that likes to party, get drunk and key cars on the way back to his house. His path goes through my neighborhood and he has found a liking to scratch ":censored: you" into cop cars. There are a LOT of law enforcement in my area, off the top of my head I can recall 4 labeled and 1 undercover cars. I don't think i said this in my first post but the officer lives in my neighborhood just a block and a half away, and all three of his cars have been damaged. I get that he's on high alert and all buuuuuttt... I dont know maybe its the angst inside me but I think its pretty unfair that because he had a bad day I can't have fun anymore. Thanks for all of the responses!

I second this. Go round to his house and have a friendly conversation with him stating your case. Like you just told us now. If he is a reasonable guy he shouldn't have a problem with you

Not all cops are bad. Just like you have stated about yourself. Not all Punk kids are bad. JK :lolgoku:

Seriously you make some great points about respect and stuff.
