Re: Illegal motorcycling

Hi Alan -

I agree with your point about responsible use of an off-road facility. And even if there was a licensed track locally, how would the bikers get there? The responsible ones would make arrangements, but I suspect the majority would be using local roads, back alleys and footpaths for their motor bikes and quad bikes to go there.

Coincidentally I had a leaflet dropped through my door today advertising off-road and quad bikes, so it looks like the problem is going to get worse before it gets better.
