this is their break down. let me get this straight. i pay $52 for 2 years. there are 1.2 million visitors a year. the budget is 1.3 million and they spent 1.7 million
lets assume out of the 1.2 million people there per year, 25% actually ride/drive registered off road vehicles out there. that leaves 300,000 people who paid money towards the offroad fund with registrations. 300,000 users x $52 = $7.8 million...so where the fuck is the other $6.6 million???
in 10 years. Costs 14$ a year for an offroad sticker. Easy to get your dirt bike street legal here. Got a plate on my KTM 150xc.
Come and ride the trails up here in Idaho.

I mean, can't a few thousand of you Kalifornia guys get together and make a scene at the State Capitol or something?
Where is Dingman and the AMA on this shit?
Millions upon millions, stolen and they still treat you guys like 2nd class citizens.
You guys in Cali need to step up, show some resistance, you and your state kinda lead what happens all over.
You have inherited a responsibility, or let things get out of hand, however you want to look at it.
Is the weed that good out there?
The worst part is that assumes ONE bike/vehicle, between me and a friend we have 4 bikes that we pay for and I know I'm not the only one with multiple bikes. So the money figure I posted is bottom of the barrel. It's likely much much higher.
It's fucking thievery and then they have the nerve to take that money, spend it on things it wasn't intended for and then start charging us for the same fucking thing. Essentially we're being taxed twice, but then again that's nothing new...
I left summer of 1973, knowing I wasn't going to live there.
Stamp It.
Yes there is corruption run rampant our here. But I live here cause
1). I have property with an MX track, Shooting range, Pool, Horses, I can ride & wheel right off my front door for days.
2). I can drive 90 minutes to 6 or 7 groomed tracks.
3). I can go to 6 Supercrosses within a few hours drive.
4). I can snowboard, fish, hunt, lay on the beach, shop till my wife drops, jet ski, gamble, Glamis, Ocotillo, Johnson Valley, Dumont, Hammers, River, all within a few hours.
5). I can eat at IN-N-OUT.
6). There are so many people you can open up a biz selling monkey dung and someone will buy.
Cali is NOT THAT BAD once you live here. For those who live elsewhere it does help you not to think about all your humidity, bugs, tornados, frozen tundras, when you hear about our dirty laundry.
However, there is also:
1) Lots of traffic
2) Very expensive living
3) Gas prices
4) This won't apply to some, but the gun restrictions here are ridiculous
5) Taxes
6) Schooling here is atrocious now
7) Very corrupt government
8) The tremendous amount of rules and regulations
People are fleeing this state because of the above.
1) we dont know how many people actually go out there. are they taking a census in the desert? they are simply guessing
2) we dont know how many people are actually riding/driving off road vehicles there, which is why i used 25% as my figure
3) we dont know how many of those people own multiple bikes/trucks/quads etc. so the bikes that dont even make it out there, are sitting at home, registered at $52 a pop
and so on. even with all these variables, the money could swing up or down like you said, but im sure there WAS plenty of money at one point. its a simple cash grab IMO.
At least OC is a bit more conservative than the rest of the God Forsaken State. People often times try and lump OC in with the rest of Cali. Heck, LA, SF and OC may as well be 3 separate countries as far as im concerned.
I can walk to the surf, im 1-2 hours away from crazy good Moto tracks, and if you dont need to leave the OC I NEVER sit in traffic as long as you know how to navigate it and at what times. As far as taxes are concerned yes they are bad but there is also a TON of biz here. So its a wash in many ways. Just have to find a biz that caters to the rich.
Shame about Glamis fees but I have gone now 3 times this last winter and made it In-N-Out (haha yes best place ever!!) without buying a permit one time...just gotta know how to do it....
So far the score is Me:3 Tree Hugging LIberals trying to rape my wallet: 0

even perris beats that.
