Bear was a nice place to have a Trial and I rode there several times. I hope Frank Raines Park is still kicking, I remember when the prison camp was first given over by the County for a riding area and we had a pile of old prisoner bunk bed frames we had to watch out for when riding around.

grindrod Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 GREEN is the new RED! If you look in detail at GREEN policies they are all left wing, basically the more wealth you have the more carbon dioxide you produce and the more GREEN policies target you. Environmentalism is a godsend for socialist regimes like the current UK government who use legislation to restrict or ban any activity that isn't approved of by the state. They have the moral high ground because they are saving the planet. The whole foundation of 'man made global warming' came from a government desire, in the early 1980s, to gain public support for nuclear power and to provide an excuse for reducing coal usage as the UK was locked in a battle with the coal miners that threatened to bring the Thatcher government down, limitless funds were made available to scientists who could prove a link between man made carbon dioxide and global warming. Needless to say many scientists made their career and wealth out of this exercise. The dodgy science used was adopted by the EU (who are left of centre) who saw it as a green light for social control. Since global warming didn't actually happen as predicted it is now called climate change, it is too valuable an asset to governments to have it threatened by facts!!! However, there is a glimmer of hope, as time passes it will be increasingly difficult to hold onto the theory as more and more quantitative data shows it to be bogus.

axulsuv Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Didn't our respective governments join together and make that award illegal back in the early 70's ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motomickey Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 You note that they are a force, and these guys do not care if they tell the truth or not-yet another reason to join the BRC and other groups, and to stay on top of threatened areas. We have to take the time to fight back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have to take the time to fight back. HERE HERE!!! To Joining forces with groups such as the BRC and others. We (trials and off road riders) as a group tend to be independent and sometimes non-conformist. (No problem there), but in order to counter the "attack of the greens" we need to do so with more organization and a louder, clearer voice. That's where the organizations such as the BRC, AMA, CCC and others come in. Motomickey is right- "WE HAVE TO TAKE THE TIME TO FIGHT BACK" This problem is so much bigger than California Global Warming.... It's just that California seems to be the hotbed for much of the "save the planet- hug a tree people" . Wow....just a thought maybe they come from a special breeding farm. Does anybody remember the movie Cocoon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tryalsryder Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 Last fall, Harford County, MD tried to pass a ban on off-road vehicles for any property less than 5 acres and limit the time of use of these vehicles on properties larger. I fell into the less than 5 acre category as we have a 2.33 acre parcel that is wooded. Well, the word got out and the response was enormous! So many people started calling and emailing all the county council members that their crackberries and emails locked up! After about 3 weeks the woman who originally proposed the bill withdrew it since it was likely to fail. I think they said no other bill has produced the response that this one did! So, we dodged the first bullet, and hopefully we can continue. My background is in Environmental Conservation and I think there are many more larger problems that need to be solved before the minute amount of environmental damage caused by off-road riding is tackled.

Unfortunately they won't give up, it will come back when there are other issuses to help cover it up , or when they think the voter turnout for our side will be low.
