I've heard reports of the DNR pulling over some dual sports at Blanchard Mountain.
If it ain't got blue & red flashing lights, and gun attached to it...Good luck getting me to stop.

Yes!  If guns didn't equal freedom we would be speaking with a British accent.  Then again, Obummer could finally be able to be the king he always wanted to be.

Have you confirmed this with DNR law enforcement?

I know for a fact that the DNR has cited dual registered vehicles and at least on case is being contested in court.

And if there have been high speed chases, what does that say about us? A bunch of law breaking hooligans. Is it any wonder they have fought us at every turn? Closing areas, making it hard to dual sport our bikes and we simply justify their attitudes by our actions. They do not treat us like other citizens and we know it but we continue to reinforce their preconcieved pictures of us. When the average citizen gets a ticket it has little effect on the rest of the drivers who obey the law. When we get a ticket they tabulate it into a statistic used to take away our plates and trails. Thats not fair but that is how it is and even though we know this we give them as much amunition for their statistics as they could possibly ask for. I once read that a symptom of insanity is to repeat the same behavior expecting a different result. See you in the looney bin.

A couple of decades ago there was a high speed chase at Tahuya that ended with a cop on a street bike killing himself on a trail.

The state considered the guy he was chasing a cop murderer because the officer made a bad choice.

Remember WHO made it this way? I won't take responsibility for everyone. The VAST majority give them no problems, yet they sometimes act aggressively? Where does that come from? Personally, I've only come across a couple nut jobs that acted unreasonably, but the hassle they can hand out is not worth it. What's the worst a dirt biker can do?  :)

Im not saying its right and your quite right that it is only a few. Terrible thing to be judged on the basis of a few.

"They" (State and Feds) Are making it so hard to abide by the rules. Old man time speaks wisely . But if they keep shutting us out even the good ones will be forced to ride illegally. Then there will be a whole bunch of us running from the red and blues. On what used to be legal trails.
