^^^^Yeah, I've seen way too many dirt bikes and ATV's tearing up fantastic riding areas, and then being barred from them, simply because they didn't seem to be thinking about how badly they were trashing the trails.
Pedal powered mountain bikes were also banned because the powers-that-be deemed it easier to just ban everyone rather than the ones doing the actual damage. Not too hard to understand how ATV's and dirt bikes have such a bad image.
It is sort of like what is happening with Hydrocodone, many of the serious users of Opioids for fun were and are encouraged by DRs that do not pay attention to what they are doing and big pharm companies that know about excessive prescriptions by those MD's. Now those of us that really need them of and on can't get them because it is easier to stop the legitimate sale of pain relievers than stop the people who are making big bucks through allowing abuse.
