Tell you what, I'd ban the sale of mini motor bikes and off road trial bike unless the buyers signed a certificate proving they would use them away from public places and country parks. Boosted.




There is a place for you working for Brunstrom.



I live next to a country park and adjacent to a bridalway, I have spent most of the weekend listening to these little ba**tards raceing Go-Peds minimotorbikes and full sized motocross machines, unlicenced unregistered uninsured on public highways rights of way and park land. What they are doing is illegal and dangerouse.
So far, in two years our local Bib are proud to report that they have issued a number of warnings including five last week, these have had no effect whatsoever. Towman you are very very wrong


I can assure you sir that i am not. Catch and prosecute the little buggers who are acting illegally, but not the sellers. If you follow this through, half the TVR salesman in the UK would be doing bird as we speak.

I agree fully with you towman. A seller legally sells an item and they want him to be liable for any wrong doing by the buyer/user. Smells of Daily Mail reading nimbys to me. Ban it ban everything!!!!!!!!!!

Gotcha!

Right, call me an old spoil-sport, but I'm taking these piccies (blown up) down to the local nick. I've seen the little sods riding this 'thing' on the pavement!



These are the same kids who've been riding the minibike, so I want the local copper to clip em round the ear so to speak. Go ride it on private land if they like, just not on the road!
