CAMPAIGN AGAINST ROGUE MOTORCYCLING
Motorcyclists, as people, have as much right as anyone else
to be on bridleways, footpaths and open spaces in Great Britain.
Riding their vehicles there enjoys no such right, unless permitted by law.
The great majority of motorcyclists respect the law and ride responsibly.
The irresponsible riding of motorcycles in those places causes damage, distress and danger.
Rogue motorbikes:
damage bridleways and footpaths,
so that some become
impassable on foot; |
 |
leave ruts in bridleways and footpaths,
diverting water to flow along
the paths instead of across; |
 |
|
carve deep ruts where they cross the sides of gully
streams; |
 |
churn up the fells and hillsides,
leaving behind
permanent scars of their wheel tracks;
|
 |
|
disturb livestock and wildlife; |
|
|
destroy grassland, wild flowers and the moss covering of bog land; |
 |
|
pollute the British countryside with noise and fumes. |

The noise and speed of these rogue motorbikes is:
intimidating to walkers and
cyclists;
dangerous to horses and
horse-riders.
Rogue
motorcyclists seem totally unaware of the damage they do and the effect
they have on legal users of the paths, the hills, the fells and other
open spaces; furthermore, they seem totally unconcerned by the
bad name that they give to legitimate motorcycling. They continue
to break the law openly, relying for their protection on speed,
anonymity and the isolation of observers.
This activity is
ANTISOCIAL.
This activity is
ILLEGAL.
YOU
can help to
STOP
it.
Rogue motorcyclists rely for their protection on
speed, anonymity and the isolation of observers.
Each of these aspects is addressed in SOLUTIONS:
Speed in PROPOSALS 2 and 3
Anonymity in PROPOSAL 1
and
Isolation in PROPOSALS 1, 2 and 3.
