Narrative:

On several occasions; I have witnessed near collisions between taxiing aircraft and people (usually kids) on dirt bikes and off-road vehicles on the taxiways and runways at pearland regional airport (lvj). The airport is entirely private property and those riding motorcycles and four-wheelers are probably coming in from the surrounding neighborhoods. Other pilots and I have reported these close calls to airport management and been told that they have no authority over trespassers and have refused to do anything about the danger. I have tried to talk to the riders to warn them about their behavior; but whenever I approach them; they speed off into the woods in the direction of the adjacent trailer park. As this problem continues to get worse; I fear that someone will ride into a spinning propeller resulting [in] a damaged airplane and probably a dead child.
