I'll be quiet now then.
The planes/helicopters that do fly over here don't hang about and don't hear them for very long. As for cars/bikes, I can hear them for a good few miles. Well only ones that have loud exhaust/cans etc. ____________________ "Put your hands up motherstickers, this is a f*ck up!" |

If they ban green lanes, it won't stop people riding them at all!
People will still ride them, and as they're breaking the law the second they ride on them, no ones really going to be bothered about respecting anyone else as they are riding them illegally anyway. So people are going to start hooning around, speeding, doing silly stuff etc.
What happened to MCN's Pro Bike campaign they were doing, seems to have died off a fair bit now? ____________________ Current Toys: 06 Yamaha WR250F | Nissan 350Z GT | Tech 4 Homes |

Green lanes are trails, as in muddy off road lanes, that most cars and road bikes wont get down, but they're classed as roads so all road rules apply. Used by horses, ramblers and trail riders on off road enduro bikes (but road legal etc..) ____________________ Current Toys: 06 Yamaha WR250F | Nissan 350Z GT | Tech 4 Homes |

My vote is in
Shouldn't the government reconsider their decision to build many new airports and expand current airports to accommodate for larger (obviously noisier) airplanes?
It'll never go through and is probably just a hoax to stop them from being questioned for more serious issues... |

The whole thing is just a waste of time.
If it was to be made illegal, it would be a waste of government resources as they'll need to set up plenty of stuff to ENSURE that no single biker gets on a road he/she shouldn't be on.
It wont happen
As for the pollution comment, it's pretty obvious that 2 strokes will be banned any time now. They've been banned from certain competitions and bike developers have been encouraged not to make them. Soon enough, we wont be allowed to use them on public roads (Take the USA for example.) So thats a first step into making bikes quieter and improving environment. ____________________ Aprilia RSV Mille R Edwards Replica - Aprilia RS250 - Suzuki GSXR600 Supersport Race Bike |

Hi
Even a 4 stroke bike is pathetic. I got an MOT station to do a test on my 1200 Bandit. At the time is was almost new, nicely run in. Even for the CO levels it would have barely passed the non cat car test and would fail the modern car test miserably. And that is hardly a highly tuned engine.
Even those bikes that do have cats normally have them stuck in the silencer where they will take ages to warm up and have any effect.
All the best

Maybe it was a desperate attempt to persuade us motorcyclists against using country lanes! You will find that the people making these allegations have never ridden a motorcycle and have probably never been in the country when a motorcycle has gone past! They just want something to moan about and motorcyclists are an easy target! Whatever next? ____________________
