Do you never tire of flaming people who respect our environment?
Do you not 'get' that the CRINGE you felt seeing these rich guys brag about bribing their way out trouble with wampum and beads, (Twenty bucks and a
bumper sticker) while ripping the crap out of someone else's country is a meaningful cringe? If you didn't think they were being poor examples of
environmental stewardship, why would you worry that someone might have a "fit"?
Consider the result of the Mexican dirt bike Rip to Santa Barbara! Ten days of glorious beach riding, endless wheelies under the Santa Monica
Pier...disrespectful? Illegal? Inappropriate?
I had forty years on my 17 motorcycles, I identify as a motorcyclist, and there were, on balance, few occasions when I had a need to leave tracks
where none had been before, or which nature couldn't quickly erase. Believe me, I 'get' the testosterone hit, and all the ballsy riding is way cool,
but I judge it is over the top in terms of sustainability. I think it will be stopped in certain parts of Baja; probably around the interface with
increasingly public accessible beaches where 'reasonable' (illegal) vehicular use could be stopped because of the flying crazies. Who wants to give
up a sane drive on the beach in their Toyota so that the Desert Assassins can market videos? |
