Bad accident last weekend, got me thinking

I'm all for people wearing protective gear but I dont need my govt. having anything to do with it.. Here in the U.S. they keep taking away freedoms and saying its for our own protection. Its bullsht and any U.S. citizen that can't see what's happening aint got their eyes open. So I say nay to mandatory usage. Already get fined if ya forget to wear a seatbelt, dont need more fines cause I forgot to wear my tekvest. JMO[/quote]

Amen, brother. I'm with you 100% there. Tired of the government passing law after law, regulation after regulation, all in the nam of "safety" when its really just another way for them to exert control and make money.[/quote
x2 Couldn't agree more!!
 
I bought my son a TEK vest for X-Mas two years ago. He rides very conservatively (which is great). I am more worried about the "asshats" who are always riding out of control in the middle of the trail. Just about everytime I go out on the weekends I get some guy coming at me way too fast and jumps like a rabbit when they see me.
Almost getting to the point where I dont want to ride weekends at all. Happened again yesterday on the Benzie Manistee trail system. Guys right in the middle of the trail with no intentions of moving.
I am getting myself one (TEK vest) ASAP.
 
Yup I've gotta get something for me and my boy I've had way too many close calls the last few years. In NH the speed limit is 45 on trails and the fuzz are out there checking. The trails are very twisty and tight. It would be nice if it could be higher on some big open trails but for the most part lot of the trails you need to be going slower than that or you won't be on your side on some turns.

What I've noticed the last couple seasons is guys do not move over,in the past the fast guys would at least attempt to slide over now they don't bother if I don't move they'd just hit me, it's really nuts.

Im happy to see the green police out there doing the DUI Checks and slowing people down didn't think I'd ever say that but there it is
