Biker vs Residents 

WiltshireByways It is so nice to have someone that is always so polite and responsible. I'm a dog walker, horse rider etc.. and the way you handle people who aren't always so understanding or nice to you is a testament to your manners and I certainly don't mind such responsible bikers going for a nice ride (:

I'm sure that guy at the end will try his hardest to get that Byway Restricted which will be a damn Shame.

All these nimbys. If you don't like vehicles going past your house don't buy a house next to a road, paved or not

I bet that must be one of the most cliche’d lines that you must hear so so often “ thighs isn’t a race track....” But I appreciate the way (with both encounters) that you diffuse the situation with gentle forthright logic and ageless politeness 👍

Wat pees me off is that dog walkers think they own byeways ...come on you wouldnt let ya dog off the lead on any other road ... if dog walkers are so concered then find a place where motor bikes and cars ain allowed

2:04 Stand there shaking head, hope that someone takes any notice. I don't get why you even bother to listen to these people - just ride straight past and ignore them, problem solved.

Now my favorite channel on youtube!

I think so too. I was riding a 125 that day so it had to be revved a lot to go at an acceptable speed.

i had an old boy swing at me with his walking stick on the ridgeway nr swindon a few summers ago i stopped 6 ft pass him thats how fast i was going,i think we'll allways have these problems with the locals and horse riders,all we can do is take it on the chin and keep calm,mind you i dont think he found his walking stick :)

Hey dude, may I use it in my compilation? Credited of course

Good grief - you are so polite - and rational - hurrah to that. I am a walker on these public roads, I also live on a (considerably busier) public road myself and would get a far less polite response were I to try and intimidate and harangue the users of 'my' road. Why on earth do these strange people think that they have any sort of right to constantly harass other road users going about their legitimate recreation. If they did not know that they were buying a house on a public highway then they are very clumsy and may have made poor choices - if they did know (and they did - let's face it) then they are fantasists if they somehow imagine that they have a right to interfere with other road users in this way. Several thousands of years of living history and a generation of swinish net curtain twitchers feel entitled to wreck it. I have personally intervened in support of polite (and they so often are) trail riders when they are faced with this kind of illegitimate and nagging nimbyism. These peculiar moaners will ruin this country if we let them. If you are constantly harassed by the same people or a collection of video evidence accrues around the same perpetrator you should bring a collective case for harassment. They win by stealth and by nagging their dubious political 'friends' on the council. People like this do not know the meaning of freedom or possess any joy for life - pity them - but do not let them take away your freedoms. Good luck.

That's a good point, though pedestrians do have priority over motorised vehicles on byways. It's never a chore to provide a concerned or ill-informed user with the information required to understand the difference between legal motorcyclists and criminals on motorcycles.

where was that?

Have you ever noticed that all these people who complain always wear Reactolite rapide glasses :-)

I've had that happen on Salisbury Plain - the man who did it had quite a reputation for it apparently. I didn't contact the police because he came across as being a bit mentally ill. I felt a bit sorry for him.

Should have told that woman to put her dog on a lead at the end of the day that's a public Byway. She wouldn't walk her dog a main road not on a lead.

well said

The problem is that they don't understand the law themselves. They are commiting an offence by stopping you as only a uniformed police officer has the right to do so!

Well done, not sure i could of kept my cool with they...I think it was more the niose of your end cans than you?!

at least he APOLOGISED ! wow

Do should be on a lead and under proper control. and the guy at the end should be on a lead too !.

Understood mate. We do give way to walkers dogs horses etc etc One rule for them another for us :/

Ride off man, times precious and doesnt need to be wasred

thing is when right of ways and byways were placed on paths and treks motor bikes were not around. Only intended for walkers and horse riders and cycles as of 1939.

Near Bishopstrow. The NGR is in th info.

I dont know why you stopped. people like that are always looking to piss someone off. I use to green lane. I just rode past. Wouldnt give em the time of day :)

Im sure law states dogs should be on a lead ?

But running across a public highway surely isn't under control?

Maybe some sort of a lead is in order?

Lots of wingers like her around the country..

your never win with them

Seriously, long live the day when electric bikes are the norm and these noisy motorbikes can't be heard. I've nothing against these bikes using off road rights of way trails, but it's inevitable petrol and diesel engines will be a thing of the past.

Legal? Strange word, I’ve never quite understood what it means. Now lawful and law I understand, but not this legal nonsense lol

Don't stop and you won't have to listen to the bullshit!

haha you're such a joker. You go out of your way to approach people just to let them know you're within your rights. So funny.

Hahahaha get told old boy. Maybe if he wasn't so judgemental.

Here you go again picking on women and pretending to be "reasonable". Hmmm I think there could be a case for disturbing the peace with you. You're picking arguments "is everything ok?"=I want have an argument.
