    you should have a look at some 800cc 4wd honda quad bikes they are easy to drive you can select 2 or 4wd fully manual or automatic gearboxes and you can have racks front and bk as well as wincheches and land anchors to aid in sticky situations, there are some good used ones out there with basic setups for around £3,000.

    Jake36183 There's a gravel road that runs around the complete perimeter of Salisbury Plain which is easy enough to find and to ride on. There are some byways which are sign posted but unfortunately there are riders who just ride anywhere which causes issues with the Army. Best bet is to found your local TRF group and get involved with them on a ride out to the Plains.

    do you get any grief over them illegal size plates on the plains from police or are they just checking your taxed/insured/mot'd?

  • @streakyone

    @streakyone

    Not stopped by police but you would need to be aware they would be within their rights to expect legal sized plates. Up to individual riders to make that decision.

    KTM Steve well I am looking at hopefully doing the French tet when lock down eases. Would be great to meet up with you to do some trails if you know them. I live in Essex so it’s a bit of a journey to get there but I do have a few friends in Salisbury so I could leave from there some time.

    That might be true of some motorcyclists, but by no means all of us - as a 66 year old who stops for horses, walkers, cyclists etc when out enjoying my reasonable hobby with thousands of other safe and sensible motorcyclists who enjoy the freedom and beauty of our countryside I'd like to think you might reconsider putting us all in the same bracket - just a thought.
