FeedHeard Around the Nation 7
By Ted Williams
A word about this regular section: It contains only outrageous, outlandish, and disturbing pontification. Any sensible, progressive, or intelligent statement will be instantly punted into cyberspace.
Lovely folks, these motorheads. This from Dale Freitas, President of the New Jersey Off Highway Vehicle Association in the chatroom “Thumpertalk”:
“Hey Guys: Unfortunately we live in the North East and are under attach [sic] by the Greenies.
This isn’t about noise, it’s about the total elimination of Off Highway Recreation as we know it.
It’s happening all over the country.
It’s not an issue of closed course verse public land...It’s about CONTROL!
They want to CONTROL everything we do and where we go.
These fricking Greenies will sit in a meeting with you and tell you they want to help, but as soon as you turn your back they F-you!
To the Greenies, it’s all out WAR and this is just a skirmish!
They will continue to remove the bricks that we use for our foundation.
It’s time we fight back, these people are not to be trusted.
What they’re doing to us, is the same as what Adolf Hittler [sic] the Nazi’s did during World War2
It’s time to stop talking and start calling your state representatives.
If you see a Greenie, you need to confront them and make them feel as uncomfortable as possible without getting arrested.
They are not to be trusted...It is all out WAR!”

Standard fare from the off-road crowd. Don't buttress your argument with reasoned discourse supported by scientifically derived data, just shout. And keep on shouting in the hope that someone somewhere will be convinced and join your cause. A brilliant strategy.
I wouldn't expect anything less from this crowd. Spend time on motorcycle enthusiast website and try to kick over stones to better your cause. You guys have too much time on your hands and not enough facts in your corner.
I do not understand, I am just a stupid motorhed [sic].
I think my grandma needs a job. If you give her one of your 520's maybe she can catch someone. You people couldn't catch a cold. Do you expect people to stop? You need some kids to teach you how to ride. XOXO
You're killing the fishes you dumb dirtbikers!
I lova Ameica, I ride a motorcycle then I a eat a spaghetti all day.
"You people..." Which people be those, Mike?

Hey it worked for the Bush administration
Leave the offroad community alone, we are only trying to ride and enjoy ourselves. Why do people always look at us as the bad guys when nobody is doing anything about the real problems like drugs. Something to ponder before you go and try to take our rights away just becuase your jealous of what you cant do.
Why is it all or nothing. Can we try to get along. I happen to enjopy the outdoors in many ways. I've backpacked alot of the sierra nevada, fished, hunted, camped and yes riden motorcycle most of my life. I've also passed along to my children respect for the outoors and other users. Something to consider would be the amount of taxes I have paid. Do they not allow me to use the land for riding as well as camping.
Why can't we find middle ground and all get along. The my way or no way mentality is not productive, nor is what we should teach our young. IMHO
