Yeah, quiet and polite is the way....as my wife puts it, "be a flash in the pan". There and gone, hardly noticed. And if noticed, polite and pleasant.
It seems to work for a lot of things....when my kids were teens, we lived out in the 5-acre 'burbs but close to lots of bush "logging roads" and "Crown land". (Up here in Canada most forest is owned by the Crown, AKA the government) We all had unlicensed dirt bikes but needed to go a half mile or so on paved roads before we could disappear into the forest. I taught the boys to go mid throttle, speed limit, and NO unnecessary "rum, rum, whap, whap" of the engine...keep it a steady note. ---a flash in the pan, there and gone. Never had any problems.
Once we got out away from everyone, all bets were off! A side note--we brought home quite a bit of scrap out of the bush...people dump the darndest things out there. And stuff from old logging areas.
Jon.
