True WTF was he thinking

That's the way I deal with them after nearly being run off the side of a hill by one, but I've seen a couple ridden pretty hard that I wouldn't get near

I've had a few nasty surprises with the fuckers coming the other way, they take up a lot more track than a bike.

They don't lean like two wheelers on gravel roads and they don't stay upright when traversing sloping ground, that is going across the face of a hill. Going up steep hills they have a tendency to flip and then just tumble down whereas two wheelers mainly fall sideways and stop where they are. Then they are no use trying to go along a narrow farm track like sheep might use, they are just too wide and jam the track at the first time they find some bush either side totally clogging up the track.
