View Full Version : How NOT to Drive A UTV in a public setting! WATCH THIS VIDEO

So since I was banned for pointing out this complete disregard for safety on another site here is something I want to share that I hope NO ONE else does. This is bad for the sport, and should something have gone wrong here it could COST US ALL our love of the hobby. Remember, these are off highway vehicles, and while a top speed run on black top is all good it should only be done on private roads or in a controlled environment. If being done on public roads as it is here it should be done in a REGISTERED and LICENSED vehicle and on a road that allows the speeds being traveled. The video below will show an overly excited new owner of a new XP900 driving like a complete moron to try and show off for a camera. While we are all guilty of doing bonehead things from time to time we should use this video below as an example of what not to do. Again, our sport is walking a fine line and we need to be responsible individuals to preserve it for future generations.
YouTube - xp 008
Notice that the XP is a Fast and AWESOME machine, but do you think you should be going 70mph in a 35mph zone? What would happen if a car pulled out here, we are one lawsuit away from losing our sport folks. These are designed for off highway use....I am also positive the culprit here did not have a helmet on...What is he thinking?
YouTube - xp 006
Notice here the same driver, Frank here is ripping around with no care of another vehicle coming into the parking lot. You can hear another car honking at him for driving like a moron. You can also see the skills he has, which aren't much, he looks out of control going 10mph.
In all I am calling this to attention because this guy is really putting our community at risk, not to mention his life, but it is clear that he does not care about the potential ramifications should he hurt someone else or himself for driving like a tool on public streets and in parking lots nonetheless.
Sorry Frank, but you FAIL here......

Yeah it appears that mr. FJK Frank who is a "super moderator" at the rzr forum is trying to save his butt again. FJK banned me for calling him out last year on his false rumor of Polaris havign 4 new frame options and 1000cc motor which he claims he got form his "Inside Polaris resource". I tried to explain that his claims were way off, so he banned me. Then he tried to share these videos shwoing the off at the Commander site, so I mentioned how it was unsafe and what do you know, banned from there now....lol
You cant fix stupid as they say........

01-20-2011, 12:45 PM
its sad, FJK is a good guy, I really believe that, he does a lot for the rzr site but his ego is so fricken' massive that it tarnishes who he really is. He is so worried about being the MAN that he will forgo fair judgment and rational. If you cross him, he bans you. Not a place I would want to be a part of. I am a forum junkie, I love to read and participate so it bugs me that you cant have an opinion for fear of being banned. Makes me want to make this place even better!

Thanks Joey for pointing this out. The thing with these machines is any Tom dick and Harry can buy these vehicles and “know” how to drive them without knowing what the heck they are doing. Common sense doesn’t seem to run very well with some people. The best thing we can do as a community is point these people out like you have here. I can’t believe that you were banned from a web site for pointing out obvious idiocy.

Thanks Joey for posting this! You are so right about being a step away! Here in Washington state we are see just how easy it is for activist and politicians can shut down land that ORV tabs pay for and continue to make it very difficult to do what we love. Its crap like what you all have discribed above that makes us all look bad...
How did Gump say it "stupid is, stupid does" LMAO

1st thing I like about this place is I don't worry about getting banned for my opinion
2nd thing I like about this place is how it is a (UTV/SXS) site... not a RZR, Commander, Rhino, Teryx,Arctic Cat site. I visit all of them and learn a little here and there and have met great people. There are a ton of knowledgeable folks on here to learn from and have owned just about one of every flavor machine and tell it how it is vs a biased point of view because its the only SXS they have owned or ridden in. Hell... how many hybrid Frankenstein machines have been posted on here.
Joey.. you made a valid point and I hear Frank is a great guy (never met him). This industry has been walking a fine line since the Rhino law suits started and it amazes me only Yamaha has been tied up in them in the spotlight while the other vendors run off with machines like the Commander and XP. If Frank would have been in an accident it would have been a whole new door opening up against Polaris and the SXS industry. I know people get excited with new toys... I do it too but you gotta step back and think and I think in hindsight Frank would agree that wasn't very smart. The fact you were banned is total BS! Keep up the good work and this site will reflect it.

I watched the parking lot video before it was made private and it did seem like he was a little hot for a parking lot in a vehicle he just got behind the seat of.
Frank is a super nice guy. I think he just got blinded by getting a new unit early in the cycle and wanted desparately to make up for his blown predictions for Model Year 2011. I was really suprised when he posted all of that when us media guys were still under embargo. He was pretty confident in his predictions and it was hard to sit back and bite my tongue.

OK guys, as I read this thread it's easy to see some are willing to go the extra mile to point out they don't like what they saw.........
........Could the same flamers also say they have a perfect driving record, no speeding? no rushing to make the freeway exit before you passed it? NO moving violations?
Get off your high horses.........
BTW....Joey there are two sides to every story. I'm not suer it was a professional move to for an admin to stir the pot on another forum then come back here and cry "I was banned" and for the record I banned you not Frank.
Well then if its not such a big deal then lift the ban and let him speak his peace on what ever other board you banned him from like you are able to do here.....

So why not explain to me why I was banned? Was I disrespectful by pointing out the irresponsible and complete disregard for human safety here? Am I wrong to call out a SUPER MODERATOR of a site who posts videos of his reckless driving a UTV and putting all of our lively hoods and sport in jeopardy?
BTW, speeding in a registered -on-highway car or truck is one thing, but I dont care what you are driving, doing 70mph in a 35mph zone is a total ass-hat move. Not to mention doing it in a OHV not even wearing proper safety gear, shifting lanes, and crossing double yellow lines like you are above the law.
Look, yeah I got a problem with being banned for pointing our obvious safety concerns and it makes me a little butt hurt, but I got a bigger problem with people who are supposed to be pillars of our community and advocates for our sport trying to dismiss the utter dis-concern for safety that our sport seriously needs to respect right now. He was one roll over away from spoiling everyones fun!

Lets compare apples to apples.
A speeding ticket or moving violation in a LEGAL on-road vehicle is one thing...
Driving an unregistered, non street legal, Off-road vehicle at twice the speed limit on a public highway is a whole different situation....not to mention the donuts in the parking lot.
The fact of the matter is that our industry and sport is in the limelight with concern to the eco nazis, land grabbers, and lawsuits. They will take any opportunity that they can to use something against us...this situation is a prime example.
With recent events like the Lucerne tragedy WE ALL, as a family of off-roaders, need to realize that we have to self police and when one of our brothers or sisters gets out of line, help to reel them back in and straighten them out or we will all lose the ability to do what we love!!

01-20-2011, 02:37 PM
Recently, we lost over 8000 acres of riding area locally. Why, because of idiots that didn't follow rules, drove recklessly causing an accident and then got in a fistfight with mtn-bikers on a trail.
The OHVers were totally in the wrong, yet they screamed that they weren't out to hurt anyone, just have fun. Well, thanks to them, we lost our riding area, and are under such strong scrutiny by all law enforcement now, like we are all criminals.
Plus, we were trying to get street use of UTV's legalized in NM, but since all this, have basically been told that it probably won't happen because we don't have the support of local law enforcement.
So yes, Frank's actions, being very similar to what happened here locally, do have an effect on ALL OHVers. And it upsets me to see such calloused and ignorant thinking that what he was doing was harmless and just normal.
Joey calling him out on his actions was the right thing to do, as it's every UTVers responsibility to make sure our sport stays reasonably safe, out of the lime-light of bad attention and that we police ourselves. All it would've taken was for Frank to have an accident or run over a bystander and it would've been front page news, causing local politicians and law enforcement to scream out against those terrible OHVers and their evil machines..
I stand by Joey!

First off: Ive had an issue on that forum also. Speeding up and down a road in a RZR AND posting it for everyone to see is a major squid move. Esepcially a high and mighty RZR forum Moderator.
Seconed: Im not a hard core UTV racer as many of you are BUT I love the racing I do get to participate in and this site is great. The best part is that there arent a bunch of people bashing one brand or another... Or arguing over whose 1488cc turbo big bore is faster.
Third: Many Many people have left that site for simalar reasons..

I UNDERSTAND HE HAS A NEW TOY & WE ARE ALL LITTLE KIDS INSIDE. THE PROBLEM IS NOW WE ARE UNDER A MICROSCOPE & IT ISN'T A GOOD TIME FOR THIS KIND OF ACTIONS. BY THE WAY.

This site was built so that UTV ENTHUSIASTS could come chat, read about the latest events, races, releases, and products & feel comfortable doing so. We push no secret agenda here, we do not discriminate per the vehicle, and we do not support unprovoked vendor, manufacturer, or member bashing.
We get labeled a "racer" site because we cover race events and support racers and their teams, but those who read daily know we are way more than just a racer site. What other forum based UTV site is invited to the the press intros bringing you the latest and greatest information without just copying pasting from other sites? What other site can you go to and read fresh up to date non member driven daily news from in and around the industry and then discuss it? We work hard to provide what I describe as an interactive online magazine.
While we always have and always will cover racing, we are not just a race site. We feature way more enthusiast based news then racing, I just like to have fresh relevant information and racing is a large part of our sport and deserves its fair amount of coverage. Plus there is always cool stories and pictures! hahahahah
Thank you all for supporting this site. This thread was meant to point out a problem we all must recognize and stand against. If we want to see our kids enjoy our sport we need to begin now to preserve it. Driving like tools on public streets is going to get us all shut down. And being banned for speaking your mind against someone who is either defending or promoting such actions is just plain ridiculous. Something you will never have to worry about over here.

Yes Gary I do have a perfect driving record on the street...
and as with a lot of other peeps we are all fighting to keep our riding areas open
and I admit I didn't see the video before FJK made it private, but if he made it private then there must be a reason or something in that video he doesn't want the world to see.
and Gary this is nothing personal with you.
I have had my issues with several post that FJK has made on the RZR & Commander forums...so i just walked away from them. I'm sure he is a good guy, but from the outside not knowing him, I hope I never meet him.
I go with 1st and 2nd impressions and after the 30th impression I still consider him an Arrogant *******...IMO

Gary, it's no secret that Frank does a lot for the UTV community but here is where I see the problem. What Frank does is great for the members of the forums and the people who enjoy the sport....no outside party will be influenced by what Frank, or anyone else for that matter, does like donating parts or holding large dinners and rides. None of that will ever matter when it comes to the agenda of groups like the Sierra Club and their relentless pursuit to shut us down.
However, they will use something like those videos as ammunition and leverage against us every chance they can get. Even if Frank wasn't driving the car he still posted the videos and condoned the behavior, along with many people, such as yourself. I don't understand how you guys can begin to think how those actions would do anything positive with the current state of our sport and riding areas. Those videos are public and I will bet that there are little eco-nazi cronies that scour places like youtube for content to bury us with.
Perhaps instead of sitting there and accusing us of jumping on some "bandwagon" you should look at the fact that ALL of our actions in this sport/industry can heavily affect each other.
People need to stop this typical "Ford vs Chevy" mindset and realize that we are all part of a community. The hatred between forums and brand of machine has to stop and we need to unite to take a stand for our sport. Like many, this is not only my hobby it is my livelihood. To see my ability to go riding along with my career come to an end due to the poor judgment of other people is unacceptable.

You will have a hard time getting most to understand this. The Green Peace Police have most of our community right where they want them....assuming that they aren't paying attention to what we are doing or how we act.
Heck...look at how the liberals have portrayed the horrific shooting in AZ. The media is reporting that it was a crazed Right wing conservative that performed the senseless act and that every Conservative that has commented on the situation has essentially told America to load their guns and carry an extra clip. That couldn't be farther from the truth yet most believe it because it's not being denounced or proven differently to the masses.
Most of those that have commented over there and accuse us of being too critical or uptight are the same ones that will be crying when they can't go riding anymore and wonder why.
Keep posting videos of acting like fools, riding without helmets, speeding through camps, driving these vehicles illegally and see where that gets us. THEY ARE WATCHING WHAT WE DO!!!!!
The funny part is that Gary is accusing people of having a "bandwagon" mentality about this.....I see more of that over there than I have ever seen in my life.

This type of thread raises awareness, it also shows that most of us wont put up with crap that is going to continue to blacken the eyes of our hobby and sport. I have NEVER said Frank was a bad guy, I have always said that I know he means well, he does as much if not more for that site then the owners do, he throws thousands of dollars at the site and it should be looked at as him doing it for the good of the site and the sport not just for his own personal gain and ego stroking.
Now with that said it is obvious that a FEW of the members over there dont get it. Its not just about Tree Huggers, its about saftey, laws, and govt. Its about regulations and manufacturers being regulated and sued. I dont care if it was Robby Gordon himself behind the wheel, if you do 70 in a 35 with no safety gear, no registration, and no concern for public or personal safety you deserve to be flamed! BOTTOM LINE. Frank says he wasnt in the car? Well I call BS but that is hewre nor there. He posted it along with a host of other bonehead videos showing him driving like a jackhole around a parking lot. At the end of the day no one was hurt or harmed, but again, one falso move by him or another vehicle and this conversation goes from a flame fest to a Fundraiser.....
BLR, Papa Bear, ZTFab, Breven, Darryl, Crowdog, Dune Dummy, etc etc etc....thank you for seeing my post for what it was. Thank God we have members with some friggen sense...lol....Sure I was putting Frank on blast due to a little bit of personal frustration for being banned for speaking against his false rumors and BS and then being banned from their commander site for pointing out the stupidity in his videos but like ZTFab said, UTV's are my life. This is how I make my living, and I want to do this for as long as I can.

Well said by ZTFab and JoeyD!
Personally I really like both boards but just wish the other forum could eliminate all the extra drama. But we all know that won't happen as long as a certain someone continues to use that site as his personal playground (case in point this past week). I am not referring to Frank at all in this comment.
Joey, it is never fun to engage in conflict. I applaud you and thank you for voicing your opinion. I am good friends with Frank and think very highly of him for what he gives on a daily basis to our awesome industry. Actually I am grateful to both of you and everyone else that volunteers and does anything to better our sport, thank you!
It is desert season, we have awesome machines from several manufacturers with great aftermarket products available. Lets go riding! See you on the trail!

i never hijacked your thread. you made a political post i have my viwes you have yours.... some will agree with you some wont and otheirs will be in the middle...just because you dont like or agree with my views doesnt make me wrong or a hijacker.
if you didnt want people to post things you donot agree with maby you shouldnt of posted that thread.... i never aimed anything at you just made my views.
so dont make it look like something it wasnt.
as i wont take being acused of something i didnt do
i just stated my view nothing more nothing less. unlike otheir people that did call you names i never did anything like that did I ?? so please if your going to rant tell it like it was not a puffed up version and go after the ones that called you stuff as i never did.

Yeah, I'm scrambling hard to try and get my Prowler done for KOH. Still have lots to do. Between work and the kids (single parent), I think I'm limited to just about 10-12 hours a week that I can work on the car...scramble, scramble, scramble...
I hope to leave Monday morning for KOH, be there that evening. But if my driveline isn't finished being built, it may be the next day. I had to have a custom driveline built since I moved the diff. Dang Arctic Cats don't have typical drivelines either..oddball sizing.
Are you competing Kyle, or just watching. If my car isn't race worthy in time, I may just come help with checkpoints and such...

Just read all 9 pages and I support JoeyD 100%. I don't belong to the Rzr forum, but it sure looks like JoeyD did everything right and nothing wrong. This really is an outstanding, all-around UTV site.

You are right and you are wrong. Yes, Johnny /UTV Inc is friends with those people. However, you are are mistaken about not being able to speak your mind on the UTV Inc forum. Johnny doesn't put up with BS on his forum but censorship is not something you will find on that site. You will find people speaking their minds, boobs, jokes and lots of UTV talk. Start a pissing contest or beat a dead horse about stupid shit and Johnny will step in and tell people to STFU and take the drama back to a different website. You have to really screw up to have the Mods on UTV Inc step in and say something. Big boy rules are in effect over there.

i agree 100 percent
i dont like to bash some one for being a :eek: but lots of other sites like this one will let you at least post your opinion right or wrong .
im not always right thats for sure , but some one could moderate as there called ,,,,, there moderators that simply put keep it clean of so called trash -child porn-- even some bad jokes i guess , not to ban some one for a post, they can delete it that simple ,, mods see it first-- then post it ! so they see it post it THEN BANN YOU,, AFTER THEY ALLREADY read it and posted and didnt delete it ?

Also a life ban on Brev! For threats! I am thinking of suing them for slander if they keep this "BOWEL MOVEMENT" up! NO ONE AT ANY TIME THREATENED ANYONE NOT ONE TIME and that dog won't hunt! What a bunch of mealy mouthed punks! Skin and giff blow it out the back side! You guts are the most unfair set of mods I have ever seen! YOU give our sport a black eye and do us all a disservice!

You know it isn't worth the time or money! The best revenge is riding with friends (The ones they drive off) and seeing THIS site become number one for this sport! I would rather put my time and money into having fun and keeping the desert and other riding areas open! BTW also donating to candidates that will kill the unions in public life and keep freedom ahead of control! I could care less about those slugs and their stupid moderating!
Everytime I read one of your posts Papa, I like you more and more...
I second what Papa Bear is saying. Why worry about the others and their forum, stay here, ride with these guys, enjoy it...that's what it's all about.
I ran into a guy or two from this forum at ROTR last week and can tell you, these folks are great. Even if they get hung up on giant boulders on obstacle courses or turn over when they slide off of ridgelines on the course, or break CVs... LOL...you guys were all great...

I don't think that is what they are saying Kyle...It's just all the Unions that support candidates that support closing our Public Lands....It's not directed at you...Do you know how much of your unions dues go to closing our PUBLIC LANDS?

There are pro's and cons to unions. More pro for me regarding the union I belong to. Voting becomes a very frustrating thing though.

I noticed the thread and video with the Arctic Cat, Commander and XP racing (where the wildcat wins) got deleted from rzrforums.net
I was reading through it and didnt see any fighting, bad mouthing, just that maybe the RZR could have won if it was on pavement haha. then bam, moved to trash.
