Anyone see Zink get busted?
- Thread starter Tattooo
- Start date
All I know is that they are on federal property so FBI is getting involved.
I heard about that... pretty funny. I also saw a ton of cops at the Otter this year. Looking for easy targets I guess.
They were being jackasses all weekend on those things, finally the cops pulled them over. There were more cops there this weekend then at a fire sale at Krispy Kreme, so it was just a matter of time.
Yea, they have been known to ride those bikes up at Sandy's more then once. When confronted the reply was "Saw is cool with it." So I asked the Godfurher, and as it turns out they were their typically full of crap.

Damn cops.
They were chasing 50s around at the Willingen world cup as well.
Made it even more fun to ride m though
I think they even caught Gracia at one time.

i'm pretty sure it's because of this:

What is "Sandy's" ???
More like "damn kids."Kevin said:
Do people really expect the police to ignore that kind of behavior? Why blame the police when the kids were being idiots?
I don't hate them, I just have an intense dislike for anyone who thinks they're so kick ass that they can behave like dicks. Riding on hand crafted dirt jumps on a motorcycle when you've been told more then once not to is a dick move. Hence, I have no additional love for them as such.
Since when is a kid on a 50 harming anyone? I've never ridden one but I don't think they're that fast and it's no more dangerous than a reckess bike rider (of which there were plenty). So "damn cops" for harassing/arresting kids having fun. Cops hate fun.justsomeguy said:
And Sandy's is a jump spot around Reno (I think).
Well apparently they were being jackasses all weekend long. What kind of idiot repeatedly acts like that in front of the police and expects to be ignored?black noise said:
Which laws should the police ignore in your fantasy world and which laws should they enforce?
Says the confused teen. Got it.black noise said:
Its Leguna Seca, they enforce the law there pretty hard. Its a big motorcycle spot, and as such they cannot let people act like jackasses.
Further, there are signs all over that say in big black bold letters "The California Helmet Law Will Be Enforced." They were up on the road by the main gate, buzzing around on them. Some soccer mommy got her thong in a twist and told the cops would be my guess.
Then again, reading my contract with various sponsors, one of the things that is said over and over is that you should do your best to promote the image of cycling. At major family day weekend sort of things, that includes wearing a helmet I would think.
None the less, its just a slap on the wrist unless they got saucy with the cops. I just thought it was funny.

Usually at Laguna Seca you can sort of get away with cruising around on stuff like 50s or go-peds and stuff like that, after all it is a race track and where the term "pit bike" came from in the first place. That being said, if you're causing some major problems for the rest of the fans, you'd probably get busted. That and if your 50 is correctly modified (like most are these days) you could probably easily hit 50 or 60 mph on the roads aorund laguna seca, which I bet the cops didn't like.
Then again, if their 50s are so badass, how did the cops catch em in the first place?

I was riding by when Strait was getting cuffed and Zinc was already stuffed...
and they needed two cops to lift the 50s in the truck...

everyone knows pro athletes dont get in any real trouble. case in point, rasheed wallace and damon stoudamire.scurban said:
'nuff said No, but they also don't get the massive paychecks that most football players do. Many football players make millions and they get fined like 10 grand. It doesn't mean anything when you're making that much money.scurban said:
I'm not sure how much Zink and Strait make, but I'm pretty sure that its not in the millions... Still, I wonder what happened to them and how their sponsors are handling it.
I wasnt there so cant really judge on this one, but..justsomeguy said:
I really dont care about any laws made up by someone else just because they are the law.
I have my own rules and they are set up in a manner that I dont hurt anyone or cause damage to someone else's property.
If they made up an articel that everybody born in de first 6 months of a year can only wear white clothes and the rest of the people can only wear black clothes, would you live by that law just because some asshole behind a desk thought of it?
**** that, I make my own rules.
Its just like a cop telling me I cant ride my dirtbike in a forrest because it will cause damage.
Duhh how the hell did I get there in the first place? Right, on a freeway that has demolished thousands of square km's of land.
Who the hell is the goverment to make such laws? The land belongs to everyone on the planet, not just to some dick behind a desk.
Really? How about those laws made by someone else that protect you? Do you care about those laws?Kevin said:
What if someone else has their own rules and their rules are set up in a manner that they hurt you or damage your property. That's ok, right?Kevin said:
That's known as a straw man argument.Kevin said:
Why do you think that you're so special?Kevin said:
How about a cop telling someone that they can't ride their dirtbike on your front lawn?Kevin said:
Wow. I'm truly amazed that anyone can be so ignorant.Kevin said:
Why are you always such a smartass? I really have little respect for most laws, I tend to agree with Kevin.justsomeguy said:
And I don't even know what you mean when you called me a confused teen. You've brushed off any ideas I've had before because of my age and I really think you should look at my ideas and not my age.
Who are you to say that they wouldn't have hurt someone if they kept being jackasses?TheMontashu said:
Using your "logic," anything goes, as long as nobody gets hurt. Think about the ramifications of that for a bit.
Hey, that drunk guy was just driving around, he didn't hurt anyone...
No, I've brushed off your "ideas" because they were poorly conceived, hyopcritical, contradictory and based upon little, if any, understanding of the concepts being discussed.black noise said:
Laws that protect people are something different then laws that tell you you cant have fun.justsomeguy said:
If you cant tell the difference your ignorant.
Why am I special? Ask your mom.
My front lawn is again something very different from a forrest, if you werent so ignorant you would have known that.
I cant ride my dirtbike in the woods but the goverment can cut down the same woods without a problem to build a new factory to build something like weapons.
How is that being ignorant?
The laws are designed to protect people and property. Period. Your interpretation whether they are fun-killers or not is just that, an interpretation.Kevin said:
What you can do personally vs. what governments can do is such a complicated debate I won't even touch it.
Finally, 50's can be very obnoxious, particularily riding in a crowd. While most people would not complain to the authorities, they would also prefer that people didn't ride them around them. And the last thing anyone wants to see is a collison with a 50, which is why people discourage riding one outside the pits.
The irony here is killing me. You calling me ignorant? That's priceless!Kevin said:
Some people's idea of having fun is getting wasted and being a jackass. Drunk in public and drunk driving laws tell those people that they can't have that kind of fun. Those types of laws are there to protect people from drunk people who are having their flavor of "fun."
That's just one example. There are many, many more available. Not that I expect you to understand.
As expected, you have no answer. Why do you think that Kevin is so special that he gets to make up his own rules?Kevin said:
What if everyone decided that they could make up their own rules? How would you expect a society to function?
If you saw me riding donuts on your front lawn (after all that's one of the rules that I've made up for myself, it's ok) would it be ok? If a cop saw me doing that, would you want him to stop me?Kevin said:
Wow, just when I think you can't get any goofier, you post something like this. That's yet another straw man argument.Kevin said:
JSG, you have to keep in mind that Kevin is posting from the netherlands...he's probably on WiFi in some coffee shop...
That's quite a burn. I shouldn't expect much more from you though, all you've ever brought to discussions were negative comments and insults. But yeah, 50s are annoying, someone should have told them off if they indeed were being stupid. And yeah, cops hate fun. The looks on their faces during downtown Halloween merrymaking was enough to convince me of that. But I'm done with this hijack.justsomeguy said:
