Place's to go off-roading..

[cc123]

Been thinking about it for a while now, getting an off-road bike for the crap weather and for a hoot!
I'm defo going to try funinthemud sometime soon to see if I will enjoy it or not (probably with some of you guys).

Where I stay I've got access for a big fcuk aff field which the farmer doesn't seem bothered for people to use but does anyone know where else in Scotland you can do some off-roading?

If I come across the right bike I might just get one (as the weather in Scotland will still be crap during the summer anyways) but I want to have one in time for next winter. Anyone else thought about a MX/Trail bike or am I the only dafty??!!

Thought of them, hell yeah, but don't have a monthly income to support one yet (or have a garage)

Fran did a post on this a wee bit back about where to go. Don't know if there was much success though, was there fran?

Yup, just read the thread.
Even then, I'd still use the MX bike on the road during the crappy weather (like now... )

Any suggestions for a trail/MX bike?

Right now I'm thinking Honda CR125 or 250...something along those lines.....

BSA are the way to go ..nah but seriously if uve got the money i'd go for Kawazaki, cant go wrong! As for motocrossing in falkirk, theres woods everywhere, i was thinking of taking mine up the canal... miles of straights and scenic stuff... Also a big bit of waste land where a battery factory used to be, its a fair size, i can hear people crossin up there all the time... havent been up on mine yet (no front brake) but the time will come....cant wait to show that wee bastard with the 25cc petrol scooter across the park what a real bike looks like
Heres a bike i found last night! Look at the location! Seat height looks a wee bit small, but they claim its 90cm...

'Fun in the mud' is where I started motocross with Andy Russel one of the most sound'est bloke's ever. But if its still the case it no longer happens due to to the recent race bike fatality(s) as it meant for a first aider to present at all times since the mx track is not really part of knockhill, obviously funding was an issue so ended but ocasionly is on!

If anyone is going up let me know cos al be there if I've still got the crosser.
