Divide and conquer, cattle first, bikes second, fourbies next then horse riding?

if you saw how the idiots on bikes and 4wd behave it is for sure they will get banned. You need to support the bans to stop the country been stuffed for good.
fools with mud tyres churn up wet tracks and then go off the tracks and wreck the environment.
the sooner they ban bikes and 4wd from going off the tracks the better.

Hi Govo

If the Idiot's were serious why not ban the $400 Million Dollars worth of Illegal Rainforest Timber sent to Australia Every Year.

Just like the Plastic Shopping Bags Entertain The Brain Dead's that is all they do and do nothing in real term's.

This may be stemming from issues where large numbers of motor bikes both legal & unregisted in outer Melbourne parks (particually Powelltown) are causing extensive damage on both tracks & short cuts through the bush. Also the regular noise of large groups is pushing local property owners to complain as well. With the explosion of cheap imported bikes & the better riding area's being promoted in magazines & forums it's no wonders the overuse of some parks will lead to local closures.
Although the greeny's may talk about it, I believe a total ban accross Vic to be extremely unlikey, even impossible. What you may need to get used to is Parks closing even more individual tracks that are damaged from overuse & abuse. The days of tearing up the tracks, circlework in the campsite & making new tracks through the scrub without a closure of that area are fast dissapearing.
Look after the Parks or loose the access!

This is a follow up quote from the same guy who put up the original post on that site,

" bleep ,

Sorry guys, I think I've just been had. My mate, who I wouldn't thought capabable of pulling an April Fools joke, does work quite high up in DSE. He doesn't have a bike but as mine are quite visible in the shed he probably thought to pull a quick one on me. The conversation did go for quite a while though.

I just can't imagine him doing this to me......"

Most figured his mate was pullin his middle one, seems they were right.
