Probably one of my least favorite things...motorized vehicles that go into nature's peaceful spots and tear up the area - also bringing lots of loud, obnoxious noise.
But that's just me
Thanks for the photo, tho, Kate!

Did not know they had any Utes living in NZ as the Utes are an American indian tribe living in Utah and Colorado.

We celebrate every time a stupid, drunken snow mobiler goes thru the ice and drowns.

A lot of dislike for these obnoxious machines. I agree with all of them. Still love most of your photos ,Kate.

I hate to see anybody drown, but wouldn't mind if the skimobile sinks!

u guys are really a violent grp...geez chill out..ur scaring this old lady

Hi folks thanks for the comments!
Ted a 'ute' is an Australian colloquialism for a utility truck or vehicle!

Glad you liked the photo, sorry about the offensive contents! Although I would like to say that you shouldn't jump to conclusions about the usage of those bikes. I don't like trail bikes bashing through the bush, or destroying our beaches, or 4 wheel drives doing the same! But not all are doing More...

Ted, you learn something new every day! My pet hates are the jetskis That are ridden round and round in circles on the harbour at the back of my house. Noise pollution!

My daughter has trail bike for getting around her property, it has a very steep hill on it which she is planting out with native Australian plants & trees. It is a hill of weeds at the moment after many years of farming & then years of minimal sheep or cattle, so the weeds have taken over. More...

Trail bikes are used also to muster sheep & cattle on properties!

And tear up the grass where I walk the dogs. Noisily pollute, too, even in the bush around Newcastle.
