well Bob, this brings me to the next dilema.... what is the AMA's take on shared use trails?... do they go to bat to take the trails from someone else for what the AMA sees as the right reasons? or are they open to sharing motorcycle trails with say everyone else?
I like to hike, mtn bike, ride horse, ski, snomobile, ride dirtbikes, portage, etc... I have never seen an incident between two different user types that would justify closing the trail to one or the other...(before anyone goes off on this.. I am certain there are some examples.. but they are certainly not the norm)...I understand some limitations on motorized access in SPECIFIC areas, for those of us that love to get away from it all sometimes... what I don't understand is why all these people battle each other over trail use... They each claim the others are 'ruining the trails'... we all have a common interest 'public access to quality trails'... I understand some trail limitations but I cannot support one group against the others.... Open trails open minds
I am very interested in where the AMA stands on sharing the trails.... my experience is that the 'non-motorized' section is more adamant than the 'motorized' side.... can't we all just get along?... lol
