your quad is OK cos its a vehicle.

[Voltaire]

I went to a beach down past Napier and it was covered in vehicles doing all sorts of dumb stuff with crap music blaring....ban em all I say.

[PrincessBandit]

Quads would surely come under the "recreational driving or driving for the pleasure of driving is not allowed..." restriction. To specify "all two wheel motorbikes" is just arse covering because we all know motorcyclists whose mission in life is to act out their special exemption from following any type of rules :msn-wink:

[awayatc]

Public beaches..?

What a fuckin joke.

Horse trainers use those "public beaches" as their own private racetracks..

They don't like the dogs and bikes..
and the council duly obliges.

Corupt gutless cocksuckers

"Motorbikes on the beach

Two wheel motorbikes are prohibited from all beaches and dunes along the Northern Pegasus Bay Coastal strip. Quad bikes are permitted to drive on the beach as they are classified as a motor vehicle. They must be legal to drive on the road."

Lol at "two wheeled motorbikes"

Its a wheelist policy. My motorbike is a legal vehicle, it is registered and warranted. Faggots.

Where can I buy a one wheel motorbike?.

A quick read and it seems you prob could still take your road registered motorbike as the quad bit kinda implies they are really just banning full on motocross and beach hack bikes.
One of our advocacy groups needs to whip their arse in court... surely its beyond their powers.
All I could find under legislation is... (b)
close any road to traffic or any specified type of traffic (including pedestrian traffic) on a temporary basis in accordance with that schedule and impose or permit the imposition of charges as provided for in that schedule.

[R650R]

•Recreational driving is not permitted on any area of the Northern Pegasus Bay coastal strip. Access from the north to the Ashley/Rakahuri Estuary is only for the purpose of boat launching or retrieval, fishing, white baiting and mahinga kai gathering. Access from the Waimakariri Mouth to the Ocean Outfall is for the above purposes as well as taking recreation equipment to the water's edge

Ok so put a handline in your glovebox and dip the hook in water and your compliant there....

[flashg]

Well that rules me out the WR is legal, the Beta is on hold. But neither is flash enough to have a glove box.
I feel like a peasant.

Easier to knock up some stabilisers for your existing one I should think.

[MrMarko]

now its a quad.

[haydes55]

I feel like this breaches my god given rights, as an American, to do what I want.

This.

Or councils will think they can ban dirty filthy motorcycles and their dirty filthy riders from other places too.

[R650R]

Someone should organise a mass protest ride any just clog up the carpark with bikes at the height of summer

[awayatc]

You are all missing the point....

Horse trainers " own" that beach

Horse trainers own that council

Horse trainers don't like motorbikes and dogs

Council does what horse trainers want

Well it's horse shit

and they can take a horse cock.

I understood beaches are classed as public roads.

Raises the question... can a local council bylaw take precedence over statutes...

Mostly they'll be keeping the quad option because surf lifesaving rescue patrol use them.

They must do old skool voting and networking, instead of whineing on the net.

Beaches are for enjoyment not 4x4's and motorcycles...only reason they are public roads is from back in the day when the roads were shit.

Quoted from the article.
'Quad bikes are permitted to drive on the beach as they are classified as a motor vehicle. They must be legal to drive on the road.'

Are quads road legal in NZ?

It can be done I believe but I'm pretty sure the surf patrols are using the more recent side-by-side's which mainly come out road legal.

This by the Waimak council is IMO marginally legal. We've had dealings with the law firm they use - beat them in court....
I'd be surprised if it stood up to a challenge.

Also I am told that within a certain distance from the property it belongs on farm / property maintenance equipment does not need to be registered on the road.

...All vehicles, wheeled things, fat chicks and fat gutted blokes should be banned from any beaches in the country along with cell phones, plastic bottles and sandflies... and rope headed twats...

What if I like rolling around in the surf to see if I'm getting value for my Greenpeace donations?
Do they even attend whale standings anymore?
Haven't seen one in the news for a while.

Yeah mine don't turn out quite like that :confused:

[FJRider]

The change is to the Bylaws ... not the law. This made me laugh ... And remember, the beach is a road, all the road rules and the law still apply in these areas.

Police enforce laws ... not bylaws. It will be up to the relevant council to take any (legal) action against a person/persons breaking those bylaws.

I have been accused of breaking of bylaws, regarding driving heavy vehicles in town areas that Councils have banned heavy traffic. In my case ... Police did not take action against me. If no laws were broken, and no damage or reckless driving/damage is (being seen to be) done ... they can't charge you.

They CAN prevent vehicle access onto Council owned land. (locked gates etc) That is legal.

The key words are "Where Public has Access" ...

I'd pay good money to see a whale stand. (I'm not referring to a harley fergusson sidestand either, btw).
