no ownership on ATV

[400bigbear]

I disagree wholeheartedly.

Think of the young lad who looks up to his grandpa, who at an impressionable age, sees grandpa doing something like not wearing a helmet......Timmy knows grandpa is wise, and smart in all things outdoors, so Timmy gets the idea that helmets are just an inconvenience.

It's the older wiser members of our group who need to uphold the standard for everyone to see, not relaxing the rules as we age.

No I disagree . I am Grandpa and you do as I say not as I do . Just like I light fires doesn't mean he gets too . Lol

Yes. The cop got them with everything he could. From the little bit I saw the two in the Rhino were quite repecting towards the officer, then again this cop does have a bit of a complex going on. Hes well known for harassing locals too.

Is it harassing OR enforcement if you ARE breaking the law?

Timmy will know that Grandpa does a lot of dumb stuff. Mom and Grandma will make sure he (and everyone else) know this.

Some Grandpa's take it on as their job to show the grandkids what happens when you make bad choices - so the grandkids don't have to figure out everything first hand.

Disclaimer - I am not a Grandpa - but I don't need a crystal ball to see this coming.

How is your long legged pony today?
harassment would be continually pestering people who are NOT breaking the laws! If someone is breaking a law that would be enforcement. Glad I could help clarify for you.

Eg. The only dealing I had with the sawed off punk was when I was pulled over for doing 75kph on an unmarked rural road.

If he is handing out tickets ,then I would assume he was upholding the law. Do they hand out tickets for NOT breaking the law?

LOL. OK grandpa.

Not being a part of that club yet, maybe I'll feel differently when I'm there.

Police do routinely break the laws my street is a posted 80 km/hr Police never do less then 100 km/hr. I drive it at 85 km/hr and they pass me all the time must be in a hurry to stop for the coffee as that's where they are.

I did not get a ticket.... how is he going to ticket me for 75 in an 80?

This is true...but if he just lost it for 10 bucks he could have got or can get another one............if the guy is not willing to get the ownership for you run as fast as you can.....I had this on a camping trailer...and luckily I know the person who runs the lisence office so was able to talk to him before I actually purchased it. Its a bit different for a camping trailer I suppose in the sense that you cannot even legally tow it without having the insurance where an atv I guess you could slap on a trailer and haul away......if you were just usin it to toot around your own farm or something maybe but not in a million yrs if its going anywhere other then that.

People lose ownerships, it happens, I lost the one to my sled, (found it after the sale) took pictures of the machine, vin, etc, we went to the service center together, and got it taken care of.

Doesn't mean he's a shady person, and it can be overcome, but go together, to ensure that everything is on the up and up if this is the machine you want.

I thought you -we were talking about the guys in town on their Rhino utv. How was that harassment? They got tickets and I bet at least one of them stuck.
