And most it is due to the few idiots that don't wanna follow the rules,and think that everyone should clean up after them!!Immature fools like that are what gives us all bad names,because the general public lump all "offroaders"into the same catagory with the ones that don't care.Just laid back and chillin'

Exactly!! I don't know if an alternate view is helpful - but we live near a large OHV park. It's dedicated to OHV activities, which is fine, except the areas surround this park (for miles and miles) are treated by many OHV people as if they are part of the park with the same rules (ride anywhere they want). This includes Forest Service land and private property. We are constantly having to chase quads off our land (which is posted "Private, no Trespassing") and the non OHV park parts of the forest, on which riding on roads is allowed, (which is fine - I am not a supporter of banning use of the roads by anyone), are torn up by constant off the dirt road riding. Large amounts of trash are left behind after every big weekend.
This area was subject to massive floods this summer, predicated by a forest fire, but the flooding of houses was compounded by the drainage ditches having had their sides broken down by illegal quad and motorcycle travel.
I am and have always been a supporter of allowing free access to public lands, but living next to an area that is subject to constant abuse of the laws regarding staying on the exisiting roads makes me understand why the general public gets so upset about this.
Is it a minority that does this? Sure, but they are a very visible and growing minority, and the mood around here has shifted from a "they aren't really doing much harm" to a "ban them, they are destructive" attitude just over the last year.
Just sayin' for what it's worth, from someone who hears this from her neighbors pretty often now a days.Last edited by SEdmonds; 09-23-2010, 06:57 AM.

I just had to read this!
There is soooooooo much more to this whole land grab, than meets the eyes.
This is all part of the UN Agenda 21.
People do need to wake up soon, or we will loose much much more than just the right to our countries national parks.(Ristow)fram!....that deserves a ratchet upside the head.
