I understand that it’s all fun & games to “Flame” each other about whether you roll on two or four wheels but as Mustangglp has so keenly pointed out the other side of this battle, and make no mistake this is a battle, is VERY well organized, VERY well funded, VERY well politically connected, and are DEFINITELY kicking our butts so just keep on joking around guys because I can tell you for damn sure our opponents aren’t!!

It’s time too get damn serious about this issue and stand together, get organized, and start serving up a little kick butt ourselves.

I don’t know if all you southwest OHVer’s are aware but Ocotillo Wells lawsuit looks to be back on again, here’s a quote from another site.

In English this means that the Judge thinks there is enough evidence to allow the case to move forward. Tierra Del Sol and EcoLogic will immediately move to intervene in the case to defend open riding in the park. Please like our Facebook page and check our website for updates.
