Tis very true Mark. It's the small minority that have f**ked it up for everybody else and it wont affect them in the slightest as they will carry on as normal.
The biggest problem is vote hungry politicians who will listen to any whinging group with enough clout and a self righteous sense moral behaviour.

Rusty,

         Sadly, whatever the subject, it is also the self same minority that the policing methods will fail to catch.... >:( Some things just p*ss me off and that's one of the long and illustrious list!

everyone needs to get together and put up a united front to get them fought effectively

Everyone involved did try - just look at the list of organisations consulted in the DEFRA document - for sure, the likes of the All-Wheel Drive Club, the British Off-Road Association and trail riders etc weren't saying "oh that's OK then".   Sadly though, it is a relative minority interest in terms of the numbers involved and the political interest has been coloured by other vocal (but supposedly more envornmentally friendly) groups and the ar**holes on bikes or in 4x4s who have mucked it up for the majority of sensible law-abiding off-roaders.   Harrumph.

There was NOTHING mentioned in any of my bike magazines, which is a shame. This would get a larger spread of sociaty involved, especially as road riders are looking to off road for their kicks now,  due to cameras, busier roads etc etc.

You found me then  ;D

Unfortunatly being self empoyed and having to work for my money I don't get out on it as much as should also it lives at my mums house which is a pain in the arse but hey.

As for the lime green screen horrible isn't it. I bought it pissed on ebay one night as I was after a double bubble screen didn't know I had bought it till the next morning. But it works even though I don't like the colour and the guy never cashed the cheque so it was FREE so hey ho.

But I was pleased with the outcome anyway!!!

Issue was covered in MCN quite extensivly some time ago. I think that most people had expected a sensible approach as only 5% of tracks allow motor vehicles anyway. The ban has come as a surprise to most people.
As has been said elsewhere, will not stop the people causing the problem, they will carry on being prats, once again it is only going to effect law abiding citizens >:( >:( >:(


Run over a rambler today, it will make you feel better ;)
