I dont know of any places you can just mess about. If I did I would probably own some form of rediculous offroad vehicle

Even If u have private land if u have a lot of people on it the council will do u for noise, insurance etc... Happened to my mate built a track on his own private land. Couple of fellas out on a sat on bikes and next thing council down about noise and had to close it. Is only allowed out on it 4 days a year now. Wot a joke you can't ride on your own land. An it only takes 1 person to complain as that's all it wos with my mate and the lived about half a mile away. Everyone else aroun him didn't care

Was he out of the way in the country? That's wild. Some rules are stupid, private land you should be able to make a noise on until a certain time at night.

Yeah in the country. I don't no the whole legal side of it but he's been to court etc and tried to get to ride it and he's been givin permission for 1 or 2 bikes 4 days a year... Which is a joke. Your own land and you can't do wot you want

I suggest he has a good look into 'common law' and doesn't take the councils guff for ought.

this country is a craphole for these reasons. you are not allowed to do anything. the government wants you to live in boxes they can tick . we are like barcode battery hens laying tax eggs for them. there is nearly nowhere to ride . only way is friends who own land or pay for a track use. its a disaster. i dream of america and australia thousands of acres of 4x4 friendly national parks :-(

subaru wrx sti,
If ur near ards. The lead mines are usually packed full of people.
Yea the the same problem has been had with my grandas. He has about 14acres and the cousins and i used to mess about just wen ever we were down. Now were not allowed out at all because 1 of the nieghbours is an absolute douche bag. He phones the concil anytime he hears bikes or quads on our land.
So once or twice a year my granda hosts a classic scrambler race. But the nosie must only be between 10am and 5pm.
Its a discrace you cant even hear the bikes if ur inside watching tv ffs
His last names jackson does building work... dont care if anybody knows him here hes a d bag

I can understand people objecting to quads and scramblers on neighbouring land. Infernal noisy things, just like jet skis on lakes.

simple answer, ride four stroke. 2t scramblers are noisey but I still think do what you want on your own land.
