Ya, they definately do hang out in spinreel a lot too. They can really jump out at you when you pull off of the sand into the parking lot. I've had one hide behind the bushes when we were nigh riding. Fortunately he just gave me a warning. That was when I was rockin' my 9in Nmotion.
It's not that we are really doing anything wrong. Like Nic said, Oregon450duner, we'd rather not have to deal with them at all. My JSR exhaust is still fairly loud which draws negative attention. Plus a majority of the guys I ride with, including myself have fairly "flashy" quads which draws attention to us as well. Put the two together andthe stupid Po's seem to really look for you. The Po's don't really keep us from riding, I was more or less stating that Florence has a million po's running wild on Labor day weekend.
Makes perfect sense to me! :) I have a pretty loud exhaust myself. I had them test it at a USFS complimentary check station they had at South Jetty once and it read 101 dbs. If you do get a ticket they have a rule that says if you can quiet the exhaust down and prove it by bringing it by their office before the fine is due that they will only charge you $15. They told me about that when I got my ticket like 10 years ago, so it may have changed. That is a great deal if you live somewhat close. I can understand why they have the dbs limit though, some of the really loud quads can be heard for quite a long distance which can disturb the residents and other tourists/visitors. It's too hard to give up the awesome sound and increased power though! ;) If you get a ticket just think of it as a donation to help maintenance or improve your favorite riding area!
