Ith - 9th - At least it didn't seem to make much difference. The wastes of civUlzation could go almost anywhere as long as it wasn't 1:00 close. Each citizen could make whatever use of his environment he could devise that would prosper him or pleasure him. In 1969 it makes a tremendous difierence. It has beetl making a difference for a long time but enough people didn't notice until suddenly it became apparent that we're all living in a shrinking garbage can. No wonder the conservationists are disturbed. No wonder we are all becoming disturbed. We are each a conservationist, or had better become one. What we're conserving is our existance. And beyond existance we would like to conserve a good lJle. For us, the motorcycle is a part of the good lJle. To ride oft-road there must be space. To have space later it must be preserved now from the pressures of population. The chief voice for this preservation thus tar has been the voice of the conservationists. The motorcycle is not incompatible with conservation. It is true that much more communication must be developed between our groups and even eventually compromises must be made. But compromises ·are going to be in ortler no matter what. 'There is going to be no way at all to live lJle in the future as it was lived in the pasL There are 1:00 rnaJly of us 1:00 close together now for that sort of existence ever to be possible again without worldwide disaster. The question now is what compromises will best serve to continue lJle on a satisfying 25. 25. lOth- CONSERVATION IS NOT A DIRTY WORD The answers to our recent survey indicated that a large majority of ow:; dirt rider-readers choose to ride through great distances of open land. Almost everyone expressed a desire for cross country or trail riding, or both. There were repeated objections to small contined areas for riding, especially U a high price were placed upon the priviledge of riding in those areas. This is not at all surprising when one considers that one of the major charms of motorcycle is that it provides an opportunity to get away from the rest of the world and be to onesel1. Yet, this is rapidly becoming a most dlttlcult accomplishment. The population of the United States, only 4 million at the first census 180 years ago, has passed the 200 mill10n and grows from two and one half to three million each year • The population density of CalUornia 'was listed in 1960 as 99 per square mile. But when one considers that one half of the geographical space of the state is state and federally owned, the current average density is around 250 per square mile. The national average is 50. But averages mean very little. The density of Manhattan Island is 77,000 per square m1le and even paris of San Francisco and Los Angeles are as high as 16,000 square mile. Worse than eyeballing your fellow man every time you seek solitude is the ecological change that this rapid increase has brought. When there were 4 million people on 3-1/2 million square miles (1790) it didn't make much difference what each individual did to the land.
