They don't want to loose everything because one person wrecks and gets hurt and them or their family sues. It would be nice if the landowner wasn't liable for our wrecks.

Just my two cents on this, after attending lots of Poker runs and open houses at many different places. If all are required to have registration and insurance this stuff goes to a minimum, it seems like if you have enough sense to do both the registration and insurance you have more responsibility. But I have seen the same thinga at ANF and they require both also. So as others say it is the few who make it look bad for the majority.

This is great reason to join a club. Teaching respect. Clubs can organize clean-ups to take care of land and trails. Have meetings to keep our trails open and teach our upcoming generation how to respect man, machine, & property. Now after saying that, I don't belong to any clubs. LOL I currently run my own business and have two little kids to try to catch. No time. I used to belong to a 4X4 club(triangle fourwheelers) & I learned a ton of info. from them. Stuff as a kid I never even thought of. When my kids get older we will def. join something so those values are passed on. Thats the only thing we can do to keep these areas open for us.

My friends & I currently run on several pieces of private land. We join together every summer & try to help these land owners out. Bailing hay, fixing barns, fences, whatever we can. The word has spread and more land owners have allowed us access their prop. because of this. If you see someone turn off your machine, take off your helmet & talk to them. Be polite & DON'T RUN!! Amazing how a simple conversation can open up longtime friendship.

great response blazin. wish i lived closer to ridin lands,would always stop to help if that's what it takes.

I hate when people make mud holes, they get so deep and no one can get through them. It really pisses me off!
