AVOIDING POLICE ON THE BYWAY

[@garylinstead7597]

Good to get out guys. But for me in passing other users, you need to be slowing down a lot more. It makes them feel a lot less buzzed. :)

[@gingernutpreacher]

Agread there far to fast and need I would crap my self if they went past

[@Toby_the_Glen]

And this is the problem. The countryside isn't their personal race track? Landowners hear your bikes ripping up the place and suspect the worst. You can't drive around like that and not expect to get the wrong attention.

[@CraigSmith-fe6ic]

@@Toby_the_Glen Lanes arnt one way either, Had this the other week when 2riders coming towards us, nearly wiped us out, They were flying but lucky we had a slight cut in the edge we just ducked into and missed each other by cm's 😠😠😠😠

[@noveltycurtains]

I think if your passing walkers you need to be giving a little more respect and slowing down.

[@MichaelWaite]

I have mixed feelings about this. You keep saying to respect the walkers and to be aware of horses but really you are belting along and passing the walkers at a speed that will frighten a lot of people. I remember having toddlers walking along picking daisy's whilst on a family walk and hearing you guys approach and then pass at this speed would have greatly concerned me. I want trails to stay open to us bikers (ktm 990) but the fact the police are there at all suggests that a fair balance has not been struck and we will see these Byways increasingly being taken away from us over the years ahead.

[@EnduroTravelR]

Not sure what to say on this. We are always super respectful and mindful of horses and people around. The one thing I would add is that these are not footpaths, they are roads... If you have toddlers with you and want to pick daisy’s I would suggest a byway is not the place to be doing it. We want the byways to remain open also and do not feel we are jeopardising that. 🤷‍♂️

[@stevewright210]

It’s a fine balance, yes it’s a byway but the bobble hat brigade, donkey riders etc are all trying to stop motorised vehicles, bikes 4x4’s. Some people spoil it for us who are legal. You are respectful but for me too fast. Any excuse they can give and we will all be banned!

[@FattyOn2Wheels]

Its a road mate dont walk on a road simple reallty

[@dafyddprichard4107]

Looks like great fun, but I agree with the view that (it appears at least) you were going way too fast for the comfort of the walkers and cyclists. The argument that this is a ‘road’ in the modern sense doesn’t really hold true, does it? It was formed thousands of years before motorised vehicles, for drovers (and pilgrims of course) travelling on foot or by horse/cart. Walkers, horse riders and cyclists shouldn’t have to adjust their position, instead it’s upon us as responsible motorcyclists to slow right down, modify our line and stop to let them by if needs be.

[@daisychain8622]

@@EnduroTravelR I ride these lanes a lot and I have to agree with Michael’s point. We really are relying on people’s good will. Would it kill you to slow down a fraction more for the 50 yards your going past a family or dog walker? For the majority of these lanes it’s not really on to say they’re roads therefore you can just bomb along. They’re B.O.A.T.s byways open to everyone, including kids, dog, horses and whoever else wants to use them. A little courtesy goes a long way. Ride safe mate! Sorry for the lecture

[@garyjones122]

Youre bang on about not enough places to ride, I'm trying to lease a particular piece of land from the council for the purpose of an enduro park similar to cowm and they don't seem interested in the slightest. They're quick to post on Facebook about illegal riding. I won't give up without a fight 👍

[@Igotknobblies]

I can't wait to get out and enjoy this again once we're out of lockdown. In the mean time, a serious 'off' may need an already strapped emergency service to attend. Helmet cams a must as a 'get out of jail' card. I do however think that these speeds are asking for more trouble. It's up to the individual but walking speed past people who may have a dog off the lead.... They have as much right as we do to be there. Bikes....road legal means legible plates. Mine is a flexi 'show' plate, may not be strictly legal but is correct size. Five years or more ago, I believe less than 5% of the UK's footpaths were accessible to us. Byways subjected to TRO's and permanent closure is inevitable not only with illegal riding, but if we abuse it and take blind corners at speed to find another bike coming the other way, or send a horse rider flying. Just be careful out there and preserve it for others please.

[@WillysPerformanceCycleCtr]

At the end of the day, if your bikes are road legal, you're on a legal byway and not riding like an arsehole, officers will respect you and have some banter with you. If you're riding like an idiot though and you hit someone, or startle a horse and seriously injure someone, camera's will be seized and you are in a WHOLE world of shit! Not only that, councils will listen to complaints and close lanes down to motor vehicles. Biking is fantastic, and it naturally gives you a buzz that makes you want to chase further adrenaline rush's; but for me the key is to do that when you know it's safe for all users. I want to be seen as someone who's an ambassador for the sport of motorcycling on and off-road.
