--- Quote from: "Mudlark" ---Well I'm going green laning tomorrow in Wales and the rain tonight will make it very interesting
As for treading carefully I will be treading no more carefully than I normally do
All this kow-towing to the likes of bobblies has gone too far - just tell them to get stuffed, but be polite as you tell them :twisted: :twisted:

No it's not a MC thing :lol:
Sheddy:
seems to me that some off roaders are more bobble hat than the bobble hats

To be fair the post to the passing observer does read either way. Given it's sat in the bar though all and sundry will read it :(
I have recently been singing the praises of MCUK and how a positive line is taken regards the approach to laning.... this thread though seems to shoot my efforts in the foot. ](*,) Maybe making it clear in the origional message would have helped a little... for instance if it were snowing it's ass off there would be little objection I imagine to excitement of such weather conditions. Though to state your off laning and it's going to be brill because it's pee'ing down suggests to me one thing... Mud like it or not. If on the other hand the origional post had suggested, It's raining and tomorrow I'm going Fording on surfaced roads / lanes then I and I'm sure all the others who have taken a deep intake of breath when reading the post would have no issue.
You have to be very sensitive on these topics, It'll will be used againt us otherwise regardless of any best intentions Glass members or not.
It's all down to public perception and not reality unfortunately, something I know all to well though my job. :(

I personally am really......... no, I mean really fed up with the prospect of having to curtail my activities regarding various hobbies that I enjoy.
Wherever I turn there is some miserable git trying to force their tawdry version of life down MY throat. If it isn`t the Government, then it is some do gooding namby pamby spineless peice of detritus.
A nice walk out in the wilds and a conformist mass produced peice of metal, a cup of hot cocoa and a nice book to read at bedtime may well suit these people, along with their nice hand knitted wooly jumpers and the monthly donation to the red cross may enable them to feel that they are living.
Myself, I enjoy the roar of large V8`s, big diesels, 6 wheel drive american trucks, getting all slipery in the mud.
Motorcycles, I have several.....Boy are you up against it on these things, everybody hates you for it.
Fishing, the anti`s are having a go at this now.
Occaisional junk food....That is the sin of all time.
Smoking, I am a leper in this society.
Drinking, god, thats it, I am going to hell in a hand cart :shock:
I won`t tell you anything else, your hair or toes may curl too much :lol:
This is what it has come down to though, we will have to go underground, secret societies, stolen moments of enjoyment, secret passwords :roll: :roll: :roll:
I say no, meet them head on and stand up and be proud, be counted, fight this encroaching tide of all things good and nicey, nicey.
I for one want ot die knowing I have lived, have entered peoples lives and made a difference, not just rolled over, paid my taxes, lived a good clean life and popped a thoroughly lovely pair of lilly white clogs.

Att I couldn't agree with you more. Its a lane so in my eyes it there to be driven carefully to the correct conditions.
However if you look at a similar group who's way of life style has be ruined by this government we could learn something. Hunting, now I'm not saying I'm pro or against... that’s for another talk forum, but they fought hard with a lot of public support and still got beaten by the anti's, I guess we have to tread carefully while still doing what we do.
Its bloody sad if you ask me, If want to walk it… walk it, if you want to ride it… ride it… just leave me alone to drive it! :roll:
