May I ask at what point is a Motorcycle mentioned?
It appears that 1 vehicle is mentioned and and only a Member of public remains in vehicle? Sounds like a car rather than a bike too me?
Car off road = ban motorcycles? Seems like the smart response…
Pity it isn’t busted up, as could easily have done such to the innocents.
