So you think it is cool to have the loudest machine on the mountain. The
echo of thunder against the hills gives you a thrill. Well, bud,
its time to get your head inspected.
Sure we heard you coming. As a matter of fact we could hear you coming for miles. Had I the commission and a badge I'd have gladly stopped you myself and written you a five thousand dollar citation and impounded your machine on the spot. It was only 11 miles back to the trailhead. The walk would have done you some good.
Your 14 percent power boost, is a 300 percent pain in the wazoo for the rest of us who are trying to use the public lands with some respect and responsibility. No amount of noise is going to impress anyone. You are the jokers on the trail that no one appreciates, motorized or non motorized. We weren't surprised a moment when you plowed into view with your baseball cap on backwards as you raced up to the crest of a mountain top. If you'd a had even an ounce of good judgment you would have had on a helmet, but then your lack of judgment has already been announced by your modified muffler.
It won't be long and a Forest/BLM Ranger will hear you on your retreat to your vehicle and they will greet you with a tow truck and summons to appear in court. If you happen to read this first, it could save you the loss of your machine and a $5,000 fine if you replace your modified muffler with the USDA approved version that came with the machine. While you are at it... get a helmet.
