Thanks, Chris for the help.
I always thought that a simple 'bump' on the send button to announce that you're still alive; be it either static or a tone (a feature on some models) could keep any spread out group as a whole in line sans all the sometimes annoying chatter. Simply give each pair down the line their own frequency; along with the frequency of the next group fore. aft or both that they are not responsible for keeping in contact with....a unique number in the line to identify yourself with....and nobody gets left behind no matter how long the line gets.
In regards to having something in mind on the subject of creating true multi-use legacies....I'm just curious as to how many out there are willing to buck the current establishment not desiring that this particular subject matter necessarily be brought up or worse yet 'discussed' in the first place.
ATVS and side-by-sides are the biggest potential political force in riding today and (ironically) a group who I have never seen discriminate as far as who brings what to the trailhead. Unfortunately, we are also the least respected of the groups out there for the simple reason that we have never forced the same "we all must work together" crap that national groups have collected our money over with minimal results on a nationwide basis.
The only way every sport within our so-called "community" will ever start acting like same; is to force every 'light' motorized sport onto the same trails while working on the same projects.
You can't allow motorcyclists their own "me-only" trails (continually brainwashing generation after generation with this outdated and arrogant attitude) [b]if you don't allow every single other group that comes along the same ridiculous "God-given" right!
Believe me, kids today could care less who brings what to the trailhead and will even less tomorrow.
And why is that?
Because more than half of them will be riding our old used machines for simple priority-based monetary reasons and just be glad that their buddy has something that runs! (which is basically the way we felt when off-road motorized recreation began and before off-road cyclists started copping the purely elitist attitude you witness today.
There's a difference between dividing the communtiy (as what many would claim is talked about here)...and out-loud wondering just why/how we've become divided in the first place.
