DIPSLICK Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 100s of rogue riders wont agree with the legal charges being laid, however i bet you they the first people to pull guns to protect their property, end of the day the law sees you as a tresspasser the same as you jumping in your neighbours yard,

Perhaps have a journo from Tygerburger cover the story too. Public humiliation and the inconvenience can be a powerful deterrent. Somewhat of a legal issue there....

They will tell you to f - off, go scratch your car in the car park and put up a trip-wire in the singletrack. All with a smile on their dial.

MTBeer Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 f@ck why do people have to be difficult. "I don't get the newsletter", "I carry my board in my backpack because blah blah blah"These will be the same people that b!tch the loudest when landowners kick us off their land. The rules are what they are. If you don't like them find another club. 95% of members are more than happy to comply.

It is the main reason we have the sunrise / sunset rule for land access. If I find someone in my backyard without my permission before my dogs find them, I will definitely lay charges. If my dogs find them first, I'd put my money on my dogs.

Being shot with salt and pepper will just be another story that these goons will be telling at the braai that night.

These lands are not dog-protected and I would like to see the farm owners walking around with loaded guns and single out non-members.We are not dealing with farm murders here. It is a case of simple trespassing. Getting the SAPS to detain them for an hour in a cell, will scare them, word will spread and the issue will be resolved.
