Well said Bruce, sadly I do think that many of the weekend bikers sans silencers are very selfish people and 1 over reving biker, quad biker or 4+4 driver has a much greater effect on the countryside and the people/animals therein than a walker no matter how irresponsable that walker might be. Mechanical things rip up land and cause mud baths in lanes and right of ways which were designed for a completely different type of user. In addition, the noise and smell they create pollutes a very large area. Do what happens in other places, use an old polluted brown field site and let them play on that, they can create all of the riding/driving challenges they wish and offend no-one if they fit silencers. Ride safe,
