Id say its more to do with the fact that some people find the need to stray away from the legal trails and not being responsible around other users , it doesnt matter how hard you try though you cant please everyone .

The UK is a small island with too many people living on it and a bit of consideration to other greenlane users is what we need for the majority to get along. There will always be petty spiteful types who will hate us regardless, but there's no need to p1ss off even more people.

I'm not disagreeing with your statement fella, I was just pointing out that a 25mph limit seems a bit boring, I can do that in dalby forest on my mountain bike, I bet at least 75-80% of those "TRAIL" riding groups are riding enduro bikes anway. Horses have bridleways, Walkers have footpaths, Off Roaders have Byways so yes I think we can all get along. |

My post seems to have ruffled a few feathers ... and what I said has been blown out of proportion somewhat.
I didnt say that I want to ride everywhere at 200mph killing animals and mowing down innocent people with blatant disregard. I checked out "the green lane crew" as posted by diggs and it seemed ok like they wanted to have a bit of fun not so stuffy....I then read caravan monsters post and looked on BOTH of those trail riding sites checked out LARF and TRF. And I was commenting that the TRF seem to be a bit stuffy and had a voluntary 25mph speed limit that seemed well a tad boring. NOT that I want to ride everywhere flat out in sixth wheeling and pulling endo's......maybe that I'd like to open the throttle a bit with a bit of fast riding 50mph perhaps on some fast flowing hard packed terrain if the conditions are right. I like the fact my bike is a 2 stroke, I like the noise they make when they hit the powerband...But I dont intend to pass by horses or people having a stroll with the throttle pinned back to the stop trying to deafen or scare them, if we all rode electric bikes then it would be a bit dull wouldn't it?? I do have respect for others, im sure some of those trail riding groups are a fine bunch of people and would probably enjoy riding with them. |

I wouldn't let it worry you mate , I went out with a guide today and there was a trf member with him , I was keeping an eye out on the speed just for interest , I'd say a good part of the time we didnt go over 20 , but now and again we reached speeds of 40 plus , but as you said In open areas and not around other trail users , we stopped to let horses past and slowed down for others , I'd say the important thing was we didn't stray from the legal trails .
I asked the trf member what the trf groups were like and his words were they are mostly anoraks lol , everyone will have his own idea how things shoul be done , my thinking is just ride safe and have respect for others . |
