I have been a multi user for years, I have owned Jeeps, ATV's, dirtbikes and just about every internal combustion giggle machine produced. My experience this last year makes me wish that ATV's never were invented. I know that there is responsible users in the majority but it sure seems that all of the jerkoffs found me this year. I have seen douchebacks tearing up meadows, driving recklessly (nearly running over my daughter), riding cross country into the middle of my campsite, you name it. There now seems to be a sense of entitlement permeating that I have never seen before.

The problem is, as commented earlier, not the responsible riders but the turds. The turds are causing damage and conflict much greater then their percentage because of the mechanical advantage of their ride. One ATVer bent on destruction or overall douchebaggery can really tear up the world. So the answer is enforcement, I agree lets do it. But the ATV access groups have fought enforcement regulations tooth and nail. A classic example is the bill a few years ago to have registration numbers posted on ATV's so that turds could be identified, every excuse in the world including "it screws up the beauty of my rig" was thrown out. The end result, no law and no accountability.

There is a big backlash coming from a lot of sources, not just SUWA, hunting groups, conservation groups, government agencies are all working together to regulate ATV action. If USA-ALL and Ranier Huck want to stop it then they need to self regulate the turds before it impacts everyone.

Agreed.

IMO. . .sometimes it seems like the majority are the problem, EVERYONE is buying ATV's. If the responsible riders are outweighed by the, "jerkoffs" then we have a real problem Houston. :ne_nau:
