Sounds like the police being a bunch of killjoy spoilsport safety nazis to me.

Can't do a bloody thing in this country without someone wanting to spoil it.

Oh no, someone is riding a motorbike on a piece of totally unused and useless waste ground which is nowhere near anything else. Exactly how is that antisocial?

And you need to decide if it's a public footpath or private land nobody is allowed on numbnuts. You can't have it both ways.

I take exception to the police intruding on a website which I use for my personal entertainment to threaten my peers with poorly justified and dubiously legal (three words: Bill Of Rights) enforcement action for taking part in their hobby.

As such, I am responding with a totally arbitrary karma raping, which in a similar way to a section 59, you can do fuck all about.

Thank you for listening.

If even the local council and police are convinced it's a good site for a 'properly managed' off roading then it's clearly an excellent and remote location where people are only risking their own health (which, you may not be aware of this, they are quite welcome to do).

The section that makes threats about charging people for taking work vehicles without consent is the slimiest piece of fear mongering I've read in a long time.

Even the Daily Mail would be impressed with the use of bold text.

As Stinkwheel states, this is a website where most people come to get away from exactly the kind of crap that you have just posted. Persevere and I can only imagine you will further propagate anti-police sentiments.

Theres a bit of irony that the site has been approved for a 'professional' offroad thing which may happen one day, yet ppl doing the same unofficially are somehow much worse.

Surely the same local complainers would complain about a professional offroad centre.

Its also interesting to see that the police are enforcing the will of a large corporation.

I feel a bit like Hetzer saying this, but the police have become an enforcement tool for big business to oppress the ordinary people of the country because they aren't making any money out of something.

Soon, we won't be allowed to go out, we'll just have to live on the internet, and all we are allowed to do is work and spend money online. If its fun and doesn't cost anything it won't be allowed. If it involves risk to one's person it won't be allowed, especially as risk means there might be one less person to spend money!

I never thought I'd be one to say the police have become a tool of an authoritarian government - but they have.

[JBurrows88]

Anyone ring em up or email em?

[garyd]

Yeah i e-mailed them ,had no reply,i asked for them to be removed as there not really forum members just looking to use a site as a free propaganda shot ,but...................most of what they say is true,IF you ride a LEGAL off road bike there is no need to go to this Desert where all the kids/tossers/chavs go ,you will have NO claim on anyone that injures you, wrecks your bike ,the loonies go round anyway they want with little kids of 6/7 having no clue,some stolen cars also used there then burnt out ,its an accident waiting to happen,its mainly sand/clag heaps which wreck chains/bearings,if your NOT legal go to a track,if you are use LEGAL BYWAYS,this is encouraging scroats on pitbikes to screw up our LEGAL hobby,these are my own views and i am not related or even know any "busies"just dont shit on your/our own doorstep

A suitable off road site that is approved by the council would need to meet health and safety requirements. As a result it would need amongst other things, adequate public liability insurance and marshalling. These two considerations alone would mean that a legal site would incur running costs, aside from the substantial investment to prepare for the site for this use i.e. access roads, changing facilities, offices etc. As a result, there would have to be a fee for people to ride on the site and there would have to be site rules that would have to be enforced by the marshalls. It appears that the principal attraction of “The Desert” site, to the majority of its users, is that it is free and unrestricted. Therefore it would not be seen to be a viable prospect for an investor to set up a legal site and invest large sums of money, as long as a large unrestricted area is available for free use right next door. In short, we need to eliminate the illegal use of “The Desert”, to make a professional site viable for an investor. The local Newark and Sherwood parish council is looking to earmark part of this land for this very use, should the illegal use be stopped. The people who want a legal site, but continue to ride illegally on “The Desert” are themselves preventing the very thing that they want.

I'd say around 90% of the people on here have no idea what or where 'The Desert' is, including me before you spammed this site.

People will continue to use it until access to it is no longer possible, and then, they will find somewhere else, you know that as well as everyone else.

Your time on here is a complete waste of my (everyones) money, and the police wander why their popularity has gone drastically down over the years.

I suggest you stop posting on here, you are just winding eveyone up.

Fair enough. Most of us see your point. SOME MX riders give; law abiding trail riders a bad name/image.

However don't you think adding /yourself/ to a chat room is not really the best way to stop illegal use of "The Desert"?

In fact it just angers a large majority of people. Have you heard of something called a press release? MCN are always willing to /chat/.




Hope you filled out all the paperwork relating to this post!
