Riverside Restrictions RIVERSIDE, CALIF., July 7, 1970- "Watered-down" was the term used by the 1oca1 newspaper in referring to the ordinances passed by the City Council concerning motorcycles and their uses of off road or private property in the city of Riverside. The Council, aver the mild protest of Police Chief L.T. Kinkead, passed an ordinance that outlaws the riding of any motorcycle off the public roads within 2,000 feet of any residence or drtvlng any motorcycle that does not conform to state noise laws. The Councilmen rejected a stricter law that would bave barred operating a motorcycle on private property unless the driver had the written consent of the owner in his possession. Kinkead said that the written permission proposal was the only type of motorcycle restriction that was eoforceable. "By the time we get out there, the kids can be 1,000 to 2,000 feet away. The only thing that's really enforceable is that permitfrom the property owner," Kinkead said. "I could suPport this," said Councilman Norton Younglove, who voted against requiring property owners permission, "only if we can find another place for people to ride. You'll never be able to get enough property owners to agree to let people ride on their property." The restrictions will still allow cycle owners to ride their bikes on privately owned, uninhabited property provided they come no closer than 2,000 feet to a residence.
