Long Eye 278 Posted September 13, 2015 I bet sand racing 'knocks out' chains and wheel bearings? Not if you know how to look after a bike. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Veterancub 44 Posted September 14, 2015 Legally....there are no beaches you can ride on without breaking the law or, worse, a local environment agency bylaw. Chose your location very carefully and speak to the local riders to see where is ' acceptable' to ride so as not to risk having your bike seized by the local constabulary. Even Dogs crapping on the beach is breaking a law these days, if there's anyone there to enforce it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even Dogs crapping on the beach is breaking a law these days, if there's anyone there to enforce it! Yes, from our own experience, you get warned for your first offence, but they confiscate your bike for a second offence. If anybody is riding on a beach, don't ride when there are others around, including dogs. They could report you, and it is anti social. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robert72 845 Posted September 18, 2015 Pilling sands a little north of blackpool was the place riders use to meet up years back, you could drive on the beach too. After September it was ok to ride on but that was then not sure now. Always spray around bearing parts and then as soon as you leave power wash bike down and clean chains in oil. I have also heard southport,brean,maplethorpe,filey as other beaches riders have used in the past Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OveFundinFan 4,143 Posted September 18, 2015 (edited) For Southport read Ainsdale beach, just a few miles south of Southport. Loads of sand there to practice on, well there was in the 70's - probably banned by now. Edited September 18, 2015 by Joe Hatton Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
