As a club, each year we need to reach out to new landowners for permission to use their property. It is much easier to get this permission if we are all being good stewards of the trails that we use (by keeping noise down, staying on trail, not littering, using proper restroom facilities, etc).
We will never be a noiseless society, but we all have to co-exist as best as possible. Self-policing is much better than having a new law or RSA foisted upon us.

I'd like to personally thank you for both volunteering and being a director of the MSC, many who enjoy riding have
no idea the kind of effort and dedication it takes by a few for the benefit of many usually with
little or no compensation. Especially when it comes to dealing/negotiating with land owners to provide the extensive trail system throughout the state.
You are absolutely right, we will never be a noiseless society, but a little self restraint and courtesy can go a long way to maintaining the often times delicate coexistence between those that have a passion for motor sports of any kind, and those who do not. Like I said in my last posting perception is everything.
