I'm from the sticks out in Scotland. A lot of my mates were farmer kids. We all went for a tear about on bikes all the time. Totally legal. Just think you shouldn't be judgemental straight away. That kids never going to walk in his parents front door again.

What's your point? My point is that the kid could have been legally riding his bike with the landowners permission and ended up dead. Not worth gloating about is it.

I thought the thread was moving away from the specific (the lad dying) and into the more general (racetrack etc). No offence/dis-respect to the lad meant.

Incidently the report seems to indicate the wire wasn't their deliberately to stop bikers, so possibly simply a tragic accident?

Dave.Mac,

you're obviously not familiar with people owning dirt bikes in the towns and cities and riding them out the country

Noise restrictions still apply.

Sounds like he was "riding with undue care and attention".

[Incognito]

Yup.

You're also not allowed to ride on uninsured & unlicensed & unregistered vehicles on the road...

How do you know he rode it there? You're not familar with dirt bikes and 'scrambling' are you?

Judge, Jury and executioner. You do know you are allowed to ride offroad on private land with the landowners permission.

[The Lone Gunman]

Yup.

but I dont think it carries a mandatory death sentence which is what a cheese wire across the road at the right height is.

[Incognito]

Yup.

I'm amazed it doesn't happen more often.

The number of illegal bikes around here is stunning... it was like a racetrack over the weekend.

A 17-year-old boy has died after falling from his off-road motorcycle on a dirt track in West Lancashire
