A friend of mine own's some land that we have been riding on for year's. One day while we were riding a couple of folk's were looking at building a house next door. They knew there was a track there but built a house anyway! Now they wan't the track shut down. I copied the link, It's a good read! Read it and comment! What asshole's!http://www.pjstar.com/php/index.php?/news/comments/peoria_is_noise_ordi…
But then again, if these 4 strokes didnt fart loud enough to knock the glass out of the windows and shake the pictures off the wall, some of these areas may have never closed down.
Until the OEM's or aftermarket companies (god forbid the AMA do something) do something to quiet these bikes to an acceptable level, these areas will keep closing faster than my now ex-wife's legs.
What a bunch of aholes.
isn't this neighbor a retired cop? the other thing is if your running turds, get the quietest exhaust or a db dawg just to ride there? It would be a small price to keep the piece if you can. This isn't peoria county is it??? they have a law i think already which sucks.

Yea, He's a retired cop and yes, It's in Peoria county. The track has been there for year's! Many Many year's! I do belive he has talked to you. The asshole neighbor let's his grand kid's ride and the little bastard's trespass, But that's ok! We can't ride on the land that he rightfully own's or it's a five hundred dollar fine for each person, And he will call the cop's. Eric has pic's of the neighbor's kid's riding around AND trespassing but that goes nowhere.
these people "think" that because they can hear you it's a nuisance. it isn't. make sure that before the county makes a law and it's aimed at you. That you hire a sound testing dude then go out and ride. If you are '400'' yards from these peoples house even a thumper will likely NOT even move that sound meter. Hell the wind will be louder at 400 yards then a thumper.
But you have to know what your doing, and you have to go at this professonally and with out any of the banter.......
my point, is you have to get political, you have to find the right LOCAL people in the county government to help. abate can help locally. AMA likely will only show you different avenues how to do things, but won't come out and roll up thier sleeves.
call me to get into this further, Eric and I have talked, but he has to (as the property owner) take this farther or you guys won't be riding there, or will and it will be exspensive.
A-hole plain and simple.

Thank's Tiki. Woulden't be great if all of MD showed up to ride his property!! Think they could ticket all of us?......Wait a second, Noone here rides.... I guess we could all sit around a fire and sing....I'll bring my guitar's but I'm not tuning them.
ha, you know better then that with me.
tell eric if he calls me to do so after dark as i am playing track change stuff during the day.
I just got off the phone with Eric, and he said to pack my gear. We should have about40-50 people there this weekend. Can't wait to see how this turns out. The matter is going to the council to be decided on the fate of the track. The sheriff, And several board members think the issue will go away. As there is no real way for them to inforce the matter. BUT, They said it would be in our best intrest to quiet down some of the louder bikes (Four strokes). Hopefully it's all good.

PM me your number and I'll get it to Eric. Thank's.
perfect time to set up a sound test. right on the property line by their house.
if you need a sound meter i have one around here someplace.

If you get through this thing I would have a MotoDrive Ride Day (hell.... make it a week) and drive that fucken cop out of the neighborhood and make his resale value drop to shit.
I had a friend with a personal track 16 acres from the closest neighbor (bought 80 acres) get shut down because the historic society believed it was "possible" that a civil war battle "may have" taken place on his land. Come the fuck on ....that war is over don't you think?
Ok, I am done shitting a cinder block on this subject.
Best of luck guys. We are pulling for you.
PM me when you win. I'll bring the posse. And if you lose. I will still bring the posse.

you either have a shitload of guitars or you're not tuning them for the nasty effect? Kick some ass here and we'll all come out and ride.

People who try to measure distance with things that are actually a measure of area sure don't make a lot of sense.....
I just don't get how people KNOWINGLY buy property next to anothers where people have ridden for years, then have the audacity to think they own the whole show KNOWING riding has been going on for a long time.
My way or highway sheaat.... Fluggers.
And a chainsaw with a nice expansion chamber and stinger...chop up some wood. Oh, and that wood needs to be split, too. Get one of those obnoxious splitters with a big block with open headers and sit out there all day drinking beer and splitting wood. Put megaphones on the headers and point hem towards their house,
