- Riding my road legal motorcycle on a fully legal unclassified road when I was confronted by an angry walker. Normally I keep calm and state facts but you cant always educate ignorant people who just don't like your hobby!
Typical walker no idea what they are banging on about
Idiots
Quintessential British Argument: 2 dudes keeping their distance while shouting at each other about the landscape
😂
That's pretty much what I was thinking. 🤣🤣
It baffles me why people stay and argue. Nothing ever gets resolved. Just ride on.
What's quintessential about it is that we live on an increasingly over populated island with lots of stress heads on it, so arguments like this are just part of everyday British life. If you don't believe me, just driving over here!!
If you argue with an idiot they just bring you down to their level then beat you with experience 🤣🤣
Haha yes definitely
This saying would work here....."When you're dead, you don't know you're dead and it's hard for the people around you, It's the same when you're Stupid"
He needs an update on greenlanes and UCR's etc.
Attributed to Mark Twain.
If that guy had any sense he'd be teaming up with you , we are all losing our rights to the countryside bit at a time . I've off road biked and 4x4s and I'm a dog handler that loves a walk in the wild but if your on a green lane , expect vehicles , the same vehicles that often help repair damaged lanes etc by carrying hard core etc for local volunteers, seen this done many a time in Wales. We are such a divided country .
Live and let live
@NorthWestEnduro Strata Florida and Sarn Helen are worth a look mate if you don't mind travelling.
Not disagreeing with you but let's be honest, lots of bikers illegally go on footpaths. I was at near by Darwen tower just last night and three bikers came past me on the path to the tower. Then later on, I saw three young lads with balaclavas on (they looked like bank robbers!) on mini electric motor bikes. So that's bound to piss off walkers and make them see enduro bikes and the like negatively.
@deebater5298 I've dragged guys off bikes in that scenario , I drove down the wrong gate in a land-rover myself and that cost me £200 . That's not the issue here , its a green lane, therefore a BOAT and the guy walking won't have it. Lots of people do lots of illegal things but don't persecute the majority, as is always the case .
Dee bater. That’s like me me saying” I saw a walker yesterday with trainers and a hoody on dropping litter “so all walkers should be banned from footpaths. There’s always people who don’t follow the rules,but this guy is on a road it called George’s Lane and has always had vehicle access the walker is a moron with no idea of the law.
HE just liked the sound of his own self importance and just wanted to argue .I would have fired the bike back up and went passed him several times to prove my point , oh and just to piss him off .
Passed him again on a tarmac road 20 mins later and got the finger 😂
You can't argue with stupid. I gave up trying to reason with walkers etc like that.
Yep or ignorant people.
People like that love to ruin the fun and for some reason its always a dog walker
At least his dog was friendly
@@NorthWestEnduro the dog was clearly in full agreement with you that there was an embarrassing whiney man child on the other end of the lead 😂
Your very tolerant my mate I'm a mountain biker with zero tolerance sick of hearing them so now I just ask if they want to fight
😂
Martin just turn the other cheek mate and ride, beating the crap out of somebody does no good and gives the rest of us mountain bikers and bad name! Some of us are actually nice peaceful people don't you know!
Exactly. OK then "I'll fight you for the lane!"
Haha.
Know what happens when they ban vehicles from a lane? It gets overgrown so people stop walking on it.
Very true!
As a fellow lone enduro rider & a fellow Boltonian i feel your pain! Just dropped you a sub😊
Cheers!
What a numpty, you'd think being a local he would know it's a BOAT. Love riding my mountain bike around Rivington, always keep my distance from walkers and maneuver around them and not had any run ins yet but it's only a matter of time before some numpty pipes up.
He definitely knows, just doesn't like it!
Plenty of pillocks like that down here in Cornwall to,think they own the bloody place,,never happy,always moaning,how sad,,great video my friend 👍🚴♂️
Live and let live!
A walker, a biker, and a wealthy landowner are sitting at a table. On the table are 10 biscuits. The wealthy landowner takes 9 of the biscuits and says to the walker "Watch out, that biker is going to steal your biscuit!".
I like biscuits
I'm from Adlington. I walk that "road" regularly. Good for you, telling that moron to mind his own business. 👍
Its a great road 👍
I love how he refuses to look at the map or engage with a rationale argument. defo divcored living on his own miserable bugger. subbed.
Yep very ignorant!
What he meant to say is that HE did not like you being there on that legal road while he walked his dog.
Bingo
Some walkers think they’re so righteous, I have walked, mountain biked and driven land rovers on these roads. we have already lost so many because of ignorant busy bodies like that dog walker
Yep very frustrating
Was that paddy McGuiness you was arguing with?
Haha over his neck of the woods
@@NorthWestEnduro no likely no bikey
To be fair, that surface looks like just about any road in Cheltenham. Why do people argue over easily-provable facts?
Doesn't like the facts so refusing to listen to them.
Fair play for standing your ground and keeping your temper! This is what you're up against and the sad thing is one day they'll win and that will be it 😔
Hey could I use this footage on some of my social media platforms, ill fully credit you, let me know thanks!
Yes no problem
My answer is normally ‘minding my own business mate’ and then I ride off. No point in arguing with walkers. They’re normally anti everything. Should have asked him if he’d enjoyed picking up his dogs sh!t today.
Yea I normally do the same. I must of been having a bad day 😂
I cant believe some people would purposefully lie to instigate a reaction. The walker knew it was a Byway or he would of had a look at the map.
Yep doesn't make sense
Hey mate, is it OK to feature your clip in a moto edit some time soon? It will be credited in the description & comments section with your name watermarked on the clip. Thanks, MM

well done for keeping your kool mate. I cant stand folk like that who have no clue. Would of been a different video if he said anything to me haha
Haha I would have normally rode off and ignored completely but couldn't resist shouting back
Hi I live in Chorley myself, spent most of my riding life round Rivington and doing the pigeon tower run.
I’m looking at buying a tenere very soon, how do you find yours?
Thanks

Loving the Tenere it's a great bike. Needed some suspension work to get it working right for me off road.

I'm fed up with dog walkers spreading dog shite all over the roads ....
Don't they know that if kids get contaminated with his dogs poop it can

That road has been eroded by rain, not bikes.
Yep!
Its always this, NO I don't want to see your map, because I'll be PROVED wrong - ignorant is the right description!
Very frustrating
fantastic, I can understand his frustrations but needs to understand you're completely allowed to do what your doing.

Poof with a Poodle. I would have done my best to upset him.
He upsets himself
I used to 4x4 and came across this crappy attitude all the time, now when I ride my Mountain bike I ride where I want when I want (respectfully)because no matter what you do someone will always complain 🤷🏼♂️
Yep I agree, someone will always complain!
Nice Husaberg it´s looking like new
Thanks, it's only got 70 hours on it.
To be fair mate I agree with you but your cause is not helped by bikers that do not follow the code and go off track and destroy habitats,unfortunately this fans the flames and sadly the few will spoil it for the many, happy riding fella
Always going to get idiots with any hobby.
Fun fact, i was told off by a ranger for being on a footpath near to jacobs ladder edale. Closer inspection of a 1:25 map shows a dotted black line which donates a PATH!
I checked with Ordinance survey and those dotted black linez can be used by anyone, even if they follow footpaths ( dotted green)
I keep email of evidence on my phone, but haven't had chance to tell whoever tests me "HOLD MY BEER!"
To fair to the ranger, Jacobs ladder is actually closed to vehicle's now.
@North West Enduro jacobs ladder and all paths marked with black dashes are open to the following, horses, bikes, foot traffic, everything but,mechanically propelled vehicles, so basically mtb can go anywhere. Unfortunately, the communists who control everything, want to stop us all accessing the countryside, which effects enduro riders and mtb. I've had muppets tell me to get of pennine bridleway. Every week they have started reporting mtb having accidents on our trails and soon we will need insurance, which will be out of most people's price range, just like the bikes!
@@sweatyhelmet78 Oh Russell, "the communists who control everything" that made me smile, you'd have felt right at home in the McCarthy era in the US ;) Let's be honest though, there's a lot of mountain bikers out there who are obsessed with beating their mates on the down hils on their expensive bikes and they don't give a flying f*ck about anybody else. So you can see why other users of bridleways get pissed off.
@Dee Bater yeah I agree, but areas I'm talking about are more cross country, which in my opinion ( mountain biking) not pointing a bike downhill and hoping for the best 😉
This is why I love my electric motorbike.
Abit lame though aren't they 😂
He'll no doubt pick up his dog shit, put it in a plastic bag and then place it on a fence and "I'll come back this way and pick it up then" ... never will
Most likely!
You probably scared his dog and he was offended for it. Karen's and Daren's like that need to get a life. I hate it when they make up their own rules and expect everyone else to follow.
His dog was friendly. He was not 😂
Crazy to think that those electric mountain bikes are worth the same, or more, than the scrambler.
Buy two of my bikes for the cost of a Surron!
Hi buddy, can I include this in a future video, please? I will credit it to you and link to your channel. Thank you
Yes no problem
Green roads are just that, roads! It’s rich behaviour from someone who walks his dogs and allows them to sh!t everywhere and chase wildlife.
Next thing they will require permits to breathe 😡
Just ignorant!
David you don't know anything about the walker guy, you're just making up crap. Yes I hate seeing litter and dog shit in plastic bags at Rivi but you don't know it's this guy doing it!
Hi, amazing video, would it be possible for you to let me use this clip in a video recap? Obviously with credits in the video description.
Yes no problem
Thank you very much, I will let you know when I have used it 😊

Hey man. All good to feature it? Full credits will be given to you, of course, thank you so much. I appreciate it. PS. My channel has a different style than other channels. :)
No problem
Adamant it's a footpath - refuses to view a map that would confirm his position
Ignorant!
You weren't even near him.
Drama queen
straight on from the pigeon tower, take the left road instead of the right one. Ive been up and down this road hundreds and hundreds of times over the years either on Mountain bikes, running or walking ..I used to go to Rivi school and sixth form nearby. Its probably the most avoided road in the area for obvious reasons.
Ive also seen countless crossers using the road over the years, just as you were, and you're right, its a public road so you're well within your rights to use it as you are doing.......the problem is this guy with his dog just doesn't like the noise and tries to make up a frankly embrarrasing list of excuses, he probably thinks everyone on a crosser has just come from nicking an old lady's handbag in Tescos...did he never watch Kickstart as a kid!!! 🙂
I particularly liked his 'look what you've done' remark, as if that road hasn't been like that for the past 40 years...which it completely has (i'm 44 and lived in area my entire life)
Exactly! He claims to have been walking up there since he was a kid so he fully knows I'm allowed to be there.
Absolutely class 😅👌
Glad you liked it 😂
Its a green lane.
Ive been up there on my ebike, you cant beat them, no issues and I ride the entire area.
It's a great lane
Yup, my take my KDX 200 up there, but god it smokes
You were in the right, but you dropped to his level 😢
Oh well
Use it or lose it is my motto.
Yep I agree
Spoils the ride though, when faced with such ignorance of other selfish people. You managed it well.
What’s a sado , iv had my Land Rover disco up here a few times , use the green lanes or loose them
Looks hard work in a 4x4!
@@NorthWestEnduro haha it’s ok till you get half way and then it’s do or a dodgy reverse 🫣, also helps to have radio on … it hides sounds you don’t want to hear 😬🤣
I would just continue riding. There's no reason to keep talking to someone who obviously doesn't know anything and obviously doesn't have a life.
I would have done if I didn't stall it 😂
@NorthWestEnduro yeah, people like that just love to ruin everyone else's fun. There's always people like that. Don't let it bother you too much. It has happened to me too. Walkers think they are entitled to the whole path and obviously don't own a bike themselves. Very bitter people.
Typical whiining GobSt thing is they wont intevein when something is "Actually happening" they put their heads down and walk the other way, he wouldnt mouth of and help if you or anyone else was being assualted. Moment you stood up to him he walks off and wouldnt even view your map.
I have come across these types of grumpy gits many many times when mountain biking or off roading and greenlaning. Doesnt he understand that even old roman roads such as the one your on is still road taxed by our lovely government so you have every right to use it mate ... you crack on and enjoy your ride mate as long as your not hurting anyone all is good in my books.
Live and let live!
Start the engine up and rev the fuck out of it 👌
Now now
Where is best place to start green laning, I live in Yorkshire
Look up the TRF they will have a local club for you to join
Where in Yorkshire? If south, I could show you a few routes?
@@andysmith2792 I live in East but South not too far. Where are you?
@@thebeardedyorkshireman8368 I may as well be in east yorkshire, I’m in Doncaster so often ride out towards bawtry and Gainsborough. There’s some great byways out there.

Hello dear friend! You've come across a tension addicted patient, my friend. Can i use this clip please ? Credited of course. Thanks in advance.
Yes no problem
Sounded like a episode of max and paddy
Aye cocker
What a bell end that guy is with the dog
Aye not the nicest person I've ever met 😂
GERROFF this path.
Look at the map
NO!!
Ignorance is bliss
The guy is right, you lads wreck the bridleways.
I don't ride my motorcycle on bridleways. You don't know what you are talking about!
Same here in Germany. Not allowed to do fuck all, apart from shut up and pay taxes through the nose. Democracy my tits!
Just got myself a crf450l with 600 Km on the clock for 7800 Euros. With US ecu, rack and Acerbis seat. Plus Barkbuster handguards. Sorted 👍👍👍
Sounds like a great bike. Enjoy!

Come to Canada, we accept you 🙏
I would love to ride there one day!
You got some sweet trails there with those green lanes, just dusty logging roads here. Trade the Trail-Nazis for moose and bear LOL😬
How you've been lately? I was wondering if I could share this video for my edit? I'll credit you on screen and I'll provide you with a link in the description box. Thank you in advance!
No problem
Karen in another form. No doubt, it was that time of the month again.
Probably right
I ride mtb on a regular basis up there as im local and get moaned at probably every other time im up there. So many asshole walkers around with nothing better to do than moan. I usually just say have a nice a day and carry on.
So you are one of those mountain bikers he's referring to who also destroy the countryside 😂
Any subtitles available
😂
It's not been tarmacced for awhile 😂
Or ever haha
Actually, near the top there is a small section of tarmac so maybe it was tarmaced years back! It's called George's Lane, aka The Ice Cream Run by mtbr's.
@deebater5298 I only said it because I heard the cyclist say it lol I used to ride green lanes sold my dirt bike and got an mt07 worst thing I've ever done miss my dirt bike loads mt07 is up for sale if your in the south west of the uk
Should of asked him has he got poo bags in is pocket doubt it very much
To pick up all the 💩 coming out his mouth?
just cant keep thier nose out some people
Nope
As he walks away 😂😂😂😂😂
Nice vid mate they see a bike and think your upto no good and its not legal the world we live in now subbed just cause your local to me haha
Cheers!
Just seen your video no matter where you go you always get 1 that moens why don't they just mind there own bisness
Live and let live is the best way!
Keep ripping it up. Dig that trench down so deep, that winging tool will have to yell down 100 feet to you. He should stay home and drink tea and talk to his dog. Maybe it will listen. From Ozzy Husky rider. Go team.
He must live a very boring life!
@@NorthWestEnduro100%, having a blast at you made him fell like something occured that day,, other than a dog walk. I am 56, I rode my fast e scooter, did a hot lap on my Husqvarna TE310, played War Thunder on my PC and walked my dog. He needs to get a hobby.
🔔 end
Yep!
I would of done a burnout to pass him off some more 😂
Tyres are expensive these days 😂
Still definitely worth it, it would of ruined his day even more 😂
would of done?
yet another encounter with a Victor Meldrew type character. those types don't need any reason to complain. they like it as it gives them a sense of power in some ways. complaining comes natural to them. its part and parcel of who they are.
you cant avoid these Victor Meldrew types as they exist in many places in society. i should know i have a retaliation just like that man with the dog in this video. they love complaining for any old excuse and without any rime or reason. its why i always call those types the Victor Meldrews of society. even if they are in the wrong they will still complain about it no matter what.
I don't believe it!
Come look at map .
Nah im going to keep arguing because if im not proved wrong I must be right
Yep just ignorant!
I always give it back to them, so their peaceful day is now a stressful day 😜
I normally can't be bothered and just ignore
why wind him up,pointless
He wound himself up
@@NorthWestEnduro you were in the right, just say no thanks and ride on, being argumentative looks like its one of those daft audit videos
Biker is 100% in the right.
Dog man is a usles semi educated 🤡

Personally, I'd have been more impressed if you'd ridden a mountain bike up there!! (and not an e-bike either! ) 😀
No thanks!

Typical dog walker taking over the world
At least his dog was friendly
This will make me unpopular but I'm entitled to express a view I think. I'm a motorcyclist, cyclist, mtber, walker and one time horse rider. I think our coutryside is far too fragile. In consequence I don’t think motor vehicles should be allowed in any part of it and that BOATs etc should therefore be reclassified. The erosion and pollution is just too damaging. There I've said it. That's my honest view.
Entitled to your opinion but byways are just untarmacced roads. How is a motorcycle riding on a byway more polluting that a motorcycle driving on a tarmacced road running nearby?
@@NorthWestEnduro But that's the point, people go to these places to get away from all the noise and traffic (although admitidly Rivi can be pretty hectic at times even without motor bikes!). So you riding your bike up George's Lane, whilst legal, is going to be seen negatively by a lot of people.
@@deebater5298 but my point is that they could go walking where motorcycles aren't allowed. In the video I cut off from saying this but motorcycles only have access to 2% of the rights of way in the UK. I think it's a little selfish to moan at us for using this 2% when you have the other 98% to use vehicle free!
Exactly if you want to walk and not encounter “noisy vehicles” there are plenty of other lanes to choose from!
Hahhhahaaa this is brilliant
