He could claim to be saving the planet by saving gas, and money to buy a BEV cycle.

Isn’t that criminal?

Not sure but it should be.

Any reasonable person could see how it’s going to hurt someone at some point. You don’t get to hurt people for breaking minor traffic laws.

You cannot boobytrap your property against trespassers in a way that will injure them. That is not legal anywhere that I know of.

This was clearly going to get someone hurt at some point.

It’s not legal. I suspect there will be charges or a lawsuit, or both.

But he can’t tell us that...because his broken ribs hurt when he talks. LOL

I think it is used for fuel to heat the water? beats towing a rail car of wood around.

Some environmentalist strung a wire across a hiking trail some years back because he didn’t like atvs using it, even though it was legal for atvs. Some guy got severely injured. I think the environmentalist is still in prison.

I wasn’t knocking anyone but when you keep getting in accidents, you need to take a hard look and make necessary adjustments.

Leno is rather careless.

I am glad you like to keep going and that you keep in mind safety.

In other words, somebody got tired of motorcycles cutting across their property.

I other words, someone is about to loose that property along with the rest of their stuff because being negligent and malicious can be costly.

It is awful. Hasn’t happened to me yet and don’t want it to either. I hate those places. Seen too many stuck in that wasteland of misery like my mother was. Like being jailed.

I guess something has to heat the water.

Maybe not if the law states you aren’t supposed to be doing what Leno did. We also do not know if there were warnings that Leno did not see.

“Some environmentalist strung a wire across a hiking trail some years back because he didn’t like atvs using it,”

That’s flat out attempted murder.

Is Leno in some sort of a competition with Harrison Ford?

Two accidents is not a pattern of careless behavior.

They both have risk, of course, but working on cars and riding a motor cycle are not inherently careless or wreak less behaviors.

Calling someone “careless” because they have had two completely unrelated accidents is not justified.

A wire strung across the parking lot? Sounds like he’s not giving anyone the full story and smells pretty much like bs.

Thx much.

I agree with you that Jay does seem to be having a run of accidents and might want to, as you say, make some adjustments.

BTW, you are one of my favorites around here so I always pay close attention to your comments.;-)

Amen to that. A crime somewhere between manslaughter and murder.

Sorry, but no.

Breaking a traffic law and “trespassing” (if it even was that), does not justify physically injuring someone, or creating the conditions that will almost certainly lead to injuring some one.

Booby traps that can cause serious injury are not legal anywhere.
