[QUOTE="The Bottom Line, post: 866956, member: 57753"] The other issue our four-wheeled community has to be leary of in any kind of proposed partnership here....is the fact that the two-wheeled community is [B][I]already[/I][/B] gearing up to shut down trail mileage for "study" on the pretense [B]that we have RAPED the land[/B]! No acknowledgemnt whatsoever that the proper amount of money or modern trail maintnenace equipmeny has never even [B]TOUCHED[/B] this real estate....just an insistence that these pieces of ground are "beyond repair" ***DUE TO THE INFLUX OF ATVS*** AND [B]NOTHING[/B] ELSE!!! (and should be [B]shut down[/B] so that MORE ground can be rendered the same!....by gosh, how much more [I]easy pickins[/I]' could an environmentalist [U]ever[/U] have simply fall in his lap to shout about!). How do we even [I]trust[/I] people who are out there right this very minute trying to paint our existence as irrevocably [U]damaging[/U] to the environment....while at the same time (you darn well know) they are doing parallel studies of their [I]own[/I] trails which will [I]obviously[/I] show a much faster recovery rate! News Flash! ANY trail will degrade over time [B]if not properly maintained and funded[/B]....and I [U]don't[/U] mean with machetes and chainsaws!!! Furthermore....how do you TRUST a group of people who just recently tried to convince the state that we [B]ALL[/B] :| needed 100 [B]more[/B] miles of single track [B][U]only[/U][/B]? These people are suddenly going to turn "strictly multi-use....for the good of our sport and the future"....on a dime?. Do you make these guys [I]apoligize[/I] for this action and [B]promise[/B] that it will never happen again.....or do you let them work [I]beside[/I] you while possibly allowing them to only give "lip service" to the concept of multi-use trails....[I][U]while at the same time[/U][/I][U] using these trail studies [B]against you[/B] and going behind your back every chance they [I]get[/I] to obtain [I]more[/I] mileage that would be [B]EXCLUSIVELY[/B] theirs?[/U] Again....where does the "trust" begin? Heck, I haven't even met anybody man enough to shake your hand and discuss any of this; short of some guy who (after his obligatory "Joe Blow AMA District whatever" greeting) once told me how the motorcyclists were hot after even the "non-motorized trails" and that [I][B]then[/B][/I].... they'd "ride them all"....boy was "I" impressed :ugg: (one wonders if they'll use these "trail studies" they want funded to further differentiate "us v.s. them" in even the non-motorized community [U]at our expense[/U]). As I said at the last orv update meeting....simply tell us what you are TRULY all about and just what you EXPECT from being part of a sport in serious decline. We are offering you MORE trails with MORE help and [U]friendship[/U] to boot. If having "exclusive" trails [B]ALSO[/B] is what your group wants to live and die over...maybe that is [I]exactly[/I] how history (and your grandchildren) will eventually judge you in the end.
