I have one of those pesky "Personal watercrafts"(what a stupid name they gave them
) I get very irratated at the idiots that ruin it for those of us that use them responsably(sp?). And I am glad they are going to 4-stroke as well. My 2-stroke is a lot louder than it should be.
When we bought it back in '96, all my frineds said "No sense buying one of those. They'll just be banned in a couple years anyway." But they are licensed as a "boat", and as such, the laws require that they be allowed on any public body of water. Well, Washington state is still finding ways to ban them in certain areas, because of the idiots that don't have sense enough to stay away from the beaches and other boats. All the water we have here, there's no reason to hang around areas that are just going to piss people off!
So, I suppose it's the same for snow mobiler riders. There always has to be a few idiots that don't follow the rules.
