for many years i rode dirt bikes,me and a pal were out on a lane local to us,stopped for a drink ansd a chin wag on a lane,got verbally abused by a group of walkers,told us we were riding illegally and they would report us,pointed out we were on a legal right of way,they replied don,t care we will report you anyway,we don,t want you riding round here or any where,told them thanks very much and continued on our way,at the end of the lane lo and behold there is a police car waiting for us,checked both bikes,all documents,20 questions ,couldn,t find anything wrong so he tried to give us a rollicking for daring to use a public right of way,said copper had a complaint made against him and we eventually got an appologey.
