Kowen trail bike bandits

The fvckers do it all the time, any reserve or private property, they butcher the fencing so they can ride their crap-bikes. Quangers council has been reduced to dumping rocks along the fences to stop them… property owner between Ridgeway and Weetalaba has had to do teh same thing, you’ll notice. Scumbags. (the bike riders that is).

Sure I have sped over the 40km speed limit in state forests but i have never partaken in such blatant criminal damage.

I thought the state limit in NSW was 100km/h?

I didn’t want to make a ridiculous claim that I am perfect as nobody is. Sure I have sped over the 40km speed limit in state forests but i have never partaken in such blatant criminal damage. So whilst the law is black and white, the crime or offence is where the difference lies. These guys are criminals who have caused criminal damage and that is not condoned by the majority of the riding community.

dude, it is not hard to get a grip on: discipline is not location bound, it is applied to every situation. You either follow the law or you are a criminal: though you have not been caught yet.

When you come around a corner and kill a kid walking with their parents through Kowen will you say you ‘generally’ follow the law?

Good to see cctv being used. Were they set up by the land owner ?

Yep. But I think they need to go one step further. If its private land then put down some serious spikes down all along that fence line. Pop some tyres and hopefully stab some feet. Put up signs warning about rabbit or fox spikes or something to legally cover your ass.

Are you seriously entertaining the idea that two wrongs make a right? What the land owner and police have done is the right way to go about it. Let the courts deal with it, like every other crime, otherwise you are no better than they are.

(note: I must disclose that I am a trail biker and generally do the right thing, and I DO NOT condone what these people have done – they give us all a bad name)

It’s no different than putting glass on a brick wall or putting up spiked fence to stop peeps from jumping over.
It’s not a wrong when it’s your own property and you are trying to stop maggots from ruining your stuff.

Now if op found out who it was and did what I suggested on the scums property, that would be a issue.

Also point is moot, as others pointed out the livestock issue.

I wonder how many of those specific bikes there are in the ACT?

Most dirtbikes wouldn’t be road registered

You mean a auto sentry weapon? It may have seen fanciful when this film was made, but well within the realms of possibility today…

Secondly: opencv with the cam (facial tracking) triggering an arduino controlled shot gun, i.e. arduino sentry gun.

Lastly: laws are there for after the fact. They do not actually stop the harm occurring. People disappear on large properties…ya just have to accept we are still animals and get on with the job.

I have a mate who is a farmer. He found bikes on his property where they had cut his fence. He put a screwdriver into one tire on each of the bikes, to immobilise them, then rang the cops. Unfortunately, they wouldn’t come because he’s an hour out of Cooma and it was too much effort for what they saw as a relatively minor offence. My mate saw it differently, because he has cattle on the property. I guess he had some rough justice. And no, he doesn’t wander the streets of Narrabundah at night!

I think this is a dog act, and I hope these guys get caught.
