I read this email on the King5 news website and it pissed me off so here

Dear Mr. Helgeson,
I signed on because I have been annoyed, endangered, and angered one too many times by people riding motorized dirt-bikes and other off-road vehicles
that have no damn business anywhere. To me, this bill is narrow — it doesn't include those "personal watercraft," seemingly jet-powered little missiles whose only apparent purpose is to risk death and dismemberment for boaters
and swimmers, for the amusement of spoiled drunk teenagers.

Yes, I am sure there is the occasional responsible person who rides one of these machines on land or water. And yes, like every human being I have been pleasantly surprised to find my stereotypes broken. But why, why, why, do folks insist on motorized "sports"? Those two words are an oxymoron.

There is nothing sporting — athletic, physically demanding — about riding any machine anywhere. And it's a damned annoyance to folks who see the outdoors as a place to go for quiet and solitude and self-exploration. I would be happy to ban the use of the internal combustion engine off-road, by anyone without a handicapped sticker, subject to a stiff fine. Maybe we could call this an anti-obesity measure.

Please circulate this to all motorized sports enthusiasts, so they can remember never to vote for me.

oh yeah the bill they are talking about is a noise bill from a while back that didnt pass thank god but this shows what kind of people are out there

who the hell wrote that and y would they say such a thing about our sport. There is alot more things that make more noise or pollution or damage to the environment than what we do.

"There is nothing sporting — athletic, physically demanding — about riding any machine anywhere."

That's my favorit part. I would love to see that person get on a bike and ride trails straight for an hour. Not only would they be exhausted, but they would see how much damn fun it is.
