Mr Motorcycles trail ride, Sunday 11 February

[cheese]

Wow I can't believe some people act like that. How the hell do you police that shit though. I always pull over on rides to let people pass me cause I know I'm not exactly fast, but there has to me some patience too.

I agree, quads can be a real pain blocking the trails. Most are good enough to pull over and make room but I wonder if there are not enough for them to start having their own events?

thier is not really enough of us all together to split us up, if we start doing that it will mean half the rides for everybody,

the quad guys complain just as much as those 'crazy' guys on 2 wheelers always in a hurry trying to get pass

the same as the age old "snowboarders vs skiers" thing on the mountains.

There are a few popping up now and then. I think there is a quad club in the Wellington region that organise their own events and i know that the Maramarua rides in the winter they let the quads go on Saturday and the 2 wheelers on Sunday which i believe is a good option.

The best trick to deal with quads if you're with a large group of 'real' motorbikes (2 wheelers) on a tight trail, when the first person gets past just pull right in front and slowly slow down to an almost stop as ya mates get the chance to roar past

The Auckland ATV club runs a few rides. But they don't get huge numbers at their events. They used to be pretty disorganised but that may have changed.
They used to run trail rides in woodhill and I know they've run a few races on gravel roads in Riverhead in the last couple of years.

Or standup vs sitdown jetskis. Which is an unusual example, as it's the big majority that gets most of the flak

Thank ghod it's not Shi'a vs Sunni, or the mortar rounds would be flying by now

Greg Power also runs Quad only days, but i think that the interest is down on them, i don't have to much problems with quads except from the dust on gravel roads that they make.
Their was also a punch up at the MX that i went to on the weekend, people just can't handle the jandle. Funny to watch but. bikes toppled like dominions as people went to break up the man love.
