Excellent! they tried that on us here, but wqe swapped some lands on either side of the north south highway. so in about a year, you'll be able to ride from the Southern border of Oregon all the way up to near Madras off road! almost 200 miles north.... sounds like fun!

Thats good news !! The greenies are trying to do the same here but no luck yet :yes:They are trying to shut down a big housing project here because of praire dogs (we just shoot them or poison them )

you guys and the stupid rules you have to follow. I just load up my quad and drive for 45min unload and have 10-20,000 hectares of land that is not patrolled. in fact i have cops and fish and game friends that ride with me. It is freakin' AWESOME!!!!

[GEARHEAD01]

you guys need to be up in canada where the rules arent as enforced. i load up and drive 45min to the bronson forest crown land and i have 10-30,000 hectares of some meanest, roughest terrain i have ever road in and that includes mountain riding. i cant wait until spring so i can get out riding.

That's what worries me, at all the popular riding areas I go to, you can see it coming allready. The last three years or so, I've been harrassed for paperwork more times than I have on the roads, in my truck, my whole life. At least on the hiways they need a reason to stop you. Thier like a bunch of vultures on the trails, it's really starting to piss me off.

i will enjoy it. we canadians are to freakin' stubborn to let anything like that happen. the native control alot of land up here called reserves. so the tree huggers will have a tough time getting past the border.

well a big chunck of the riding near me has been turned into a wetlands ... and its freekin nutz ... its river bottoms and has been used for off roading for about 50 years or more ... now the DNR guys like to come here and ride there quads and side X sides and if any one else is back there riding they will chase you down crash you if you run and they catch up 2 u ware they can and take your quads and take you to jail and you have to fight in cort 2 get your quad back ....and you can get up to a year in jail + fines up to $1200.00 for your first time ... its freekin crazy ...
