A friend and I met over the weekend and we got chatting about Weston beach race and noticed that lots of riders used tear offs. It got us both thinking that you have upwards of 1000 riders using 20+ tear offs over the course of 3 hours, so that’s approximately 20000+ tear offs getting washed into the sea when the...

Could they gurantee that every single one was collected, not a chance, I really don’t understand why your so against it, it’s not harming you if they ban tear offs so why the cocky attitude against banning them and the people who want to a good deed for moto, guess we come from different parts of the world with different...

It would be no different then somebody walking up to the beach on non race day and chucking 10-15 tear offs on the sand and then turn around and walk off, you just wouldn’t do it so what difference does race day make.

Or just don’t litter the beach in the first place, bio-degradable tear offs are still a problem, animals will still eat them before they are broken down which can take up to 3-6 months
