So do any of you chaps green lane?
Discussion
I was considering having a go but I am getting the impression that bikes aren’t so welcome. It seems some unregistered bikes are tearing up the countryside.
My old Golf GTi had a removable tow bar fitted and the previous owner used to tow is trailbike on it for green laning. Seems like quite a nice way to have a lot of fun cheaply.
How come people ride basically motorcross bikes across lanes? I was under the impression you must have a road legal, mot’d and insured bike to do this?
Seems really fun. Any thoughts?

Most of these lanes are Public roads so bike must be road legal. Are you sure he didn't do Trials?? They are held on Private land and the bikes are not road legal.My old Golf GTi had a removable tow bar fitted and the previous owner used to tow is trailbike on it for green laning.

It is generally lots of fun, unless you meet "militant" ramblers or horse-riders; be prepared for glares and mouthfuls.
I heard an anecdote about someone who was actually riding cropped across the head by a woman on horseback, even after he had stopped and killed the engine for her!
Road legal and plenty of common sense is definitely the way to go, but there are loads of prats out there who don't give a funk and will get it all banned eventually by blasting about like t
ts.
Problem is, it won't stop them, it'll just ruin it for everyone else.

there where some cases in hampshire a few years ago with wire being strung at neckheight across popular lanes - was a few years ago (2005?) so thats another reason not to speed.
