cleaning up motorcycle communities image saving dirt bike parks

[campbellracing]

I am Deion Campbell, I run / race for a professional road race team. I am working on cleanining up the image of motorcycle riders. And I think the "dirt bikers" are in the same problem. When you hear dirt bikers or street bikers, everyone that doesn't know the sport thinks of the guys closing freeways down with side shows, beating up uber drivers or just running from the cops. Yes California has a big following of motorcycle rider however there is a bigger general population that's not educated to motorcycle laws and reason behind it. A lot of people get upset for motorcycle splitting lanes because they don't know it's when following the law it's safer for the riders as well as cuts down traffic. They don't see that, they only remember the people trying to split lanes at 80mph that over all scares them. I am trying to spread to word to get people to calm down on the streets. Jerry Brown is cutting the OHV park funding while giving California legislator raises. California legislator are the highest paid legislators in the nation yet they keep cutting funding from our riding communities. We are making it easy for them to do so with our behavior on streets. I will work to get the government to set up designated riding areas for the stunt riders so they can take the side shows to the stunt parks rather than the streets, while working on keeping the funding going for our dirt bike parks. It will reduce accidents and bring a better light to our community and help educate the general population.

Any supports that want to help the cause please feel free to contact me at. Any riders that read this should be interested in supporting this. This is your future, if we just let this happen Jerry Brown will make it almost impossible to ride in this state.

It might be easier to unload Jerry Brown instead.

Some misinformation in your post. The Governor has nothing to do with legislators' pay.

The problem is not the person in the governor's office, its the riders. No one is forcing bad actors to break traffic laws or hurt the reputation of law abiding motorcyclists.

The general public are a mob, and a mob is an idiotic organism. The level of stupid within the general population is self evident. Not ever going to waste my time trying educate those that are incapable of learning. I never wanted to be a teacher.

Why not focus your message on barf, for a bit? Budman already spearheads a motorcycle perspective with the government. I don't know if you could get a whole section, but maybe we could get a sticky about our image problems.

This is nothing new around here, really. In fact this goes way back to the "Wild One" and AMA sponsored rallies, right here in California. Most of us, (who don't ride SuperMotards, ), are pretty much aware of the problems. I remember being a good guy on my sport AND dirt bikes, compared to the H.D. cruiser group. But times have really changed.

Keep this thread going, and maybe we can get some ideas hatched right here. :thumbup

Thanks for your interest and desire to help, Deion. PM Butch here on BARF. I'm sure he can suggest some ways to help on the off road front.
