bazrippa   10 #157 Posted May 11, 2007 As stated before, only road-legal bikes can use them legally - as they are roads! It seems the OP has a problem with paying the tax to make his bike road legal, then again maybe the bike in question can't be easily made legal, I don't know. I do know that some MXers don't rate "green laning" much as an activity (though as a mountain biker I know some BOATS that would provide a challenge). I have tried Green laning mate and quite honestly i would prefer to clean out the oven, it is boring!! Trials bikes are specialist tools which are designed to be ridden over very tough and rugged terrain which no other bike would be capable of riding over. To slap a tax disc and a number plate on it would be similar to attaching them to a washing machine as they are not for the road either!  I dont want to ride on muddy roads and go fast, i want to find a steep banking or a huge rockstep or both and try to make the bike go up and over it. Hard for people to understand sometimes but to try it is to love it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
bazrippa   10 #158 Posted May 11, 2007 Sorry Baz, just read back over the last few posts, seems what I have said has already been suggested. The only other thing is to make the off-roader legal and then green lane on it, or stick to the Suzuki (oh, how I miss mine - it was set fire too by vigilante pensioners!!!!!).  Is that true about the pensioners????

julado   10 #159 Posted May 11, 2007 Is that true about the pensioners???? Read my last post dude!  Well lets put it this way...the pensioners had been complaining for ages, not necessarily only about the bike, about me, my lifestyle etc (why me, I am not at all that interesting or fascinating). I was woken at 2am by the fire bridgade to tell my my bike was on fire.....and the vigilante pensioners were there fully dressed at a time when their cocoa should have taken effect, they were watching my bike burn. Makes you think though don't it. I am just waiting for revenge....as soon as one of the ******** gets a zimmer frame I'll be in there making mischief.

SUPERTYKE   10 #160 Posted May 12, 2007 So now it is Terrorism!!!!! Things have gotten silly again havn`t they. Building summer houses in Derbyshire has got nothing to do with Off road motorcycling!! If you wish to make a point about Summer houses then please start a new thread Entitled "WHY CANT I BUILD A SUMMER HOUSE". Please keep to the point Thanks  The point is Bazrippa, that the land belongs to us ALL. And however much we would like to 'do what we like' with it, we HAVE TO CONSIDER OTHERS. WE HAVE TO CONSIDER WILDLIFE. We have to consider the future.  I love biking but come on, you must know that it's wrong to off road in these PUBLIC places.

princealbert   10 #161 Posted May 12, 2007 Your claim that 60% of young people in Sheffield are somehow forced to choose between being a junkie burglar and riding illegally out in green spaces is total nonsense. If young people have the money for the latest trainers/ computer games/ motorbikes etc, they have the money for constructive hobbies and interests, sports or activities. Young people have never had so much opportunity or available diversions. The problem is not 'out there', it is in the mentality of those who create such a narrow and bitter attitude to life.  How true you are.Well said my friend.

grantpplus   10 #165 Posted January 6, 2012 Yes there are safe areas for kids to practice on. The whole 20 acres has been used as a trial ground for 50 years and there are flat areas and also lots of technical slopes for challenging the more experienced riders I normally charge for a six month period. This is for simplicity, to control numbers and for safety. Call me on 077 889 32 889 if you would like to speak to me or discuss use or charges. P.s. It also has campsite permission.
