    im sure they will give you a warning first if they find you on there, then they can confiscate and crush your bike. thats whats happening around my place anyway!

    On the private land you will get done for trespassing and if you tear up the field or any damage is done it is trespass and criminal damage, and if your riding on someones private land you deserve to be caught.
    Put it this way if you were ever caught on my land on a pit bike without permission you would be in serious shit. just remember you don't know whos land you riding on and there is some sick people out there.

    They dont have to give you warnings, thats just luck, my mate on boxing day rolled out of his house on his brand new mini moto that he got for christmas, within 10 minutes the filth had taken it to be crushed.

    No warnings just a :bird:, cunts.

    there is a case of a kid who got caught pushing a 5mph electric scooter and he got 12 points, and had a 300 quid fine for pushing it down the road with a flat battery :w00t:

    to technically push a vehicle on the road you need a helmet on and tax, the old 'oh it aint started so you cant do shit' will work unless youve got a really anal copper...

    and your mate was unlucky riding on chrimbo day n gettin it conviscated, i rode my goped all day christmas day on the roads n never got caught, different story a few days later tho...

    best bet is to go and talk nicely to a land owner, on you own land there shouldnt be a problem unless you are riding it at unruly hours of the day. it's only like strimming or mowing the grass
