Or if you don't see anyone but see the trash, still go thru this website. I saw trash recently, filled out the form, and the city got back to me within days. Don't just get on here and complain, but go on line so the City can do something about it. The officer can actually find ways to trace a lot of the trash back to the folks doing this and they get fined, I don't know how much but, there are consequences.

Yes, there are some rude people who throw trash, destroy property, & tresspass but not all off roaders do this. Also, you can not legally ride on your own property any where in Riverside County. Well, if you can manage to comply with all of the crazy rules, time limits, permits, letters from near by property owners, and ridiculus noise restrictions (no one measures the semi, trash, & dump truck noise level in Menifee but you have to pass a test to ride on your own property) so once you have paid extra and jumped through all of county's hoops you might be able to ride on your own property that you pay for and pay taxes on.<br /><br />They waste money on a handful of off roaders and do nothing to work with the thousands who offer help and ideas.

The signs are constantly being torn down, or the off-roaders claim they didn't see them, or they ride in-between the signs creating a new trail that other off-roaders follow. If I owned 5,000 acres, the law says I have to put 3 no-trespass signs per mile and at every road/trail. Everytime an off-roader makes a new trail I get to put up a new sign. So where is the personal responsibility of the off-roader come in to play? Its really quite simple to obtain a map of what is riding opportunity and what is not. When riders see what they think is a great looking place to ride, should ask themselves the question "I wonder who this belongs to" and get a map from any number of agencies that can help them out before they ride. Forest Service, BLM, State Parks & Rec OHMVR, and County all have maps. I know this is a little bit of work on the off-roaders part, but it should be YOUR responsibility too. Its been my experience that once a single dirtbike track is made thru private property (or any property) more follow. The dirtbikers around where I live do leave trash behind, usually cans and bottles, things that didn't burn in the fire pit they created.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5181366.post-60337312889389996682011-03-07T15:34:44.930-08:002011-03-07T15:34:44.930-08:00How about putting the money they have to use towar...How about putting the money they have to use toward a controlled riding area, since the government seems to be taking away any of our riding areas we have used for years.

My point is very basic, in that as a property owner of any type, I would not want anyone to trespass. I belong to an HOA, I am a Board Member, and our HOA owns and is responsible for a large area of open land. We have trespassers who wish to ride on our land pretty regularly. We post signs, put up fences, just to find the signs gone overnight and the fences destroyed within a week. We, as an HOA, have been forced to carry more costly insurance and pay a great deal of extra money to cover ourselves due to these trespassers. This costs us, the home and land owners, dearly. We cannot build on the land, nor plant on it. It must remain as it is.<br />I understand that you would never tear down a sign, nor would most riders. But the few who do confuse the situation and muddy the waters for the rest.
