Why? Because the Sierra Club and others such as the Center for Bio Diversity makes sure that you, and I and every other
motorized user (including motorcyles and quads) are always in the same category, called
OHV. By doing so, anything you do to limit or restrict the actions of the idiot directly impacts every non-idiot motorized driver....and that is exactly what they want. Unfotunately, resource managemant plans will never be written for two categories of OHV users, the "responsible" and the "idiots".....if they were, we wouldn't have a problem and you and I would be guaranteed unrestricted OHV opportunities for ever. But, they are written to manage "the" motorized vehicle user....and there in lies the problem....our problem.....and the Sierra Club and CBD likes it that way.
So we fight, in spite of the idiots, in order that you and I have some place to drive our Jeeps.....and the idiots get to come along for the free ride at our expense.
