Mothers of Moto Sports Meeting in Riverside
It’s time to let your voices be heard!
Please join us at 4080 lemon Street, Riverside, CA, March 28th 10:30
am, at which time we will join the discussion with the Board of
Supervisors and try to preserve our private property rights in this
county.
You are in danger of losing your right and your children’s right to
operate OHV’s on private property. This may be the last chance you have
to help direct your future property rights. As a property owner, or a
guest of a property owner your ability to operate any OHV in a
reasonable manner may be finished!
The Off-Road Business Association (ORBA), The American Motorcyclist
Association (AMA), EcoLogic, The Blue Ribbon Coalition (BRC), Jeremy
McGrath and his legal team, myself and many other concerned citizens
have struggled for the past 18 months to work towards developing a
responsible OHV ordinance while working closely with the Riverside
County Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors. An ordinance
that is fair to both OHV users and non-users. At our last meeting,
however, Supervisors tossed out our work and Supervisor Bob Buster
stated that OHV activity is just NOT COMPATIBLE with the rural life
style and may have NO place in rural Riverside County. There was
discussion of HEAVY FEES and requiring PERMITS to operate OHV’s on
private property. That’s right, 50’s to 450’s! CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS
may be required, which would virtually eliminate OHV use because of the
expense associated with obtaining these permits. They say the HEAVY
FEES would be used to offset the costs of new equipment and code
enforcement officers to aggressively respond to OHV complaints on
private property. We suggest that the County ENFORCE THE CURRENT LAWS,
such as trespassing, fugitive dust, and nuisance noise, and not
unreasonably restrict OHV use. So, Moms, Dads, Grandpa’s and Grandma’s
please come and bring the kids dressed in their gear. Speak out, let
the kids speak out. This day could be an excellent civics lesson.
Some property owners / residents of Riverside County, such as MX
champions Jeremy McGrath and Rick Johnson, as well as other
professional racers Nathan Ramsey, Ryan Hughes and Ryan Villapoto will
be signing autographs from 10:30am to 12:30pm, with Supervisors meeting
to follow.
DON’T THINK SOMEONE ELSE WILL HANDLE THIS, WE NEED YOU NOW!!
Just some thoughts from a new grandpa, and look forward to seeing you there.
