After I was asked whether I made the complaints and the story was made clear, someone thought it could be me as I was a shift worker:eek:

Hell no, let the poor kid ride

People shouldn't be so intolerant

I'm with you there.

Our neighbours have got a little 2 stroke 70cc quad for their young daughter, and a larger 250cc off-road buggy for the 12 yo son. The 2 stroke clearly makes a fair bit of noise, but they don't ride it all day every day, it's just an hour or two each week.

Is it a problem to us? Hell no. Better they're amusing themselves like that than destroying the local bus shelters.

My 2 kids have got their own quads, 4 stroke 125ccs, which are really quiet. I asked my neighbour the other side to make sure it wasn't bothering them, and got the answer that they couldn't hear them, the only way they knew they were using them was that they would see the brake lights flashing on and off!

Had some time just now to research a bit further. Newhue's suggestion of Rover Park turned out to be pretty good.

I gave the place a call and they accommodate the little bikes with a separate track/grassy area.

Looks like I have a found a place. Just hope it isn't too busy over Christmas.

Cheers

Andrew

Maybe time some of you gave up camping and 4wdriving and entered a retirement home.

So Craig is it a case of OK for the person with the bike 'but not anyone else' kinda selfish if you ask me. And i think you just proved my point. I go camping to relax. If i want to listen to whining over revved motors i go to Archerfield speedway. I guess some people have not yet evolved to the point where they acknowledge that their actions have impacts on other people. If you want to play on bikes then go to a track. I also hate people who think a camping trip is an excuse for a thumping stereo or pulling a bit of circle work in the car. But i gather you would be supportive of them as well. Hopefully i never share a campground with you. :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

Just as selfish as you expecting everyone to sit in silence so as to not bother you, what is the difference?

Hi Andrew

As a family that loves the bush and my 14 year old daughter and myself like to ride bikes we go to Manar Park at Proston we take the family and camp there for a week at a time, they have places set aside for young kids learning as well over 15,000 acers to play around and it also caters to 4X4 driving and the family that runs it are a great bunch, look at their web site

manar.com.au

we have been there about 10 times now and there is a good river to have a swim in and plenty of camping with hot water showers and toilets, yes it takes 3 1/2 hrs to get there but worth it, all tracks are oneway so no head ons.

Ashley

There is a great looking Moto cross track down the Gold Coast.
I haven't been there, but have flown over it a few times.
It's down at Reedy Creek and the iPhone tells me it is on Old Coach Rd. I know from memory it is near the local rubbish dump, which is East side of Pacific Motorway, with the track on West side.
Hopefully a local will know where I'm talking and can help out with further details.

Greg

Unfortunatly the Gold Coast council, in its infinate wisdom, is about to close reedy Creek and Stanmore Park. Thats over 2000 members between the 2 clubs with no tracks. I wonder how loudly that same council will bitch and moan about an increase in illegal riding. I personally dont condone it but can understand why it happens.

Sigh, well let me know next time you go camping and i might pop out for a bit of 5:00am bagpipe practice next to your tent. Seems that sort of thing is OK by you lot and not unreasonable at all. After all you arnt selfish like that!

Tit for tat, now there's the attitude

You don't get it, if I went to a common camp ground and you were playing bagpipes, that would be fine, it's a public common ground. It's the difference between riding a bike through a campground, music what have you, you go to a public area, you gotta put up with people

But what your saying is akin to hoping on a bike doing donuts next to your camp, that's obviously not the done thing

If you think it should be silent, go somewhere that it is, it's not difficult

decorum i think it is called

behaving in public so your actions have little impact on those around you..

something peanuts have no concept of it seems and why i bought 40 acres so i no longer have to put up with self centered, disrespectful ***** in public camp grounds.
