Thread: Where can my sons ride their Peewee 50's near Brisbane?

I sort of agree. Depends on what you call public and private. I would never ride unregistered bikes in well used camp grounds. However there are certain areas you are quite legally allowed to ride unregistered vehicle. I actually had this discussion with our law enforcement a few weeks back regarding off road registration and I was advised not to bother unless I specifically wanted to tram along or cross roads and this was generally aimed at farming tractors, bikes and quads. I was advised that on most crown land it was in fact legal to ride as long as it was a minimum distance from a town or residence and we would not have any issues. A bit hard to ride on private land up here as there is not much. It is either crown land or station land. I for one prefer a bit more sedate trail ride than a motocross track.
You obviously can not do it in a National Park etc.
However I do not see an issue if I went out to a place like Round Hill and Whaleback Creek and no one else has set up camp and wants peace and quiet. However we camped out here a couple of weeks ago and set up camp with some morons electing to ride through or near the camp at speed. Needless to say they did get a talking to as that is not acceptable behaviour, though we had no problem with them riding.
What I struggle with is 4X4 drivers being so anti mororbike. That is Hypocrisy at its very best. Usually these people have passtimes though different that impact on people around them as well. We could create on hell of a list. People need to compromise, but still treat each other with some respect.

yes i learnt to ride a bike when i was young however it was on private property, have never held a licence for a bike therefore have only ever riden on private property, i have knocked back opportunities on the beach and state forests

when it comes to public camping grounds there are not too many around that you can operate an unregistered vehicle (pee wee's included), if i choode to camp at a public campground than i would not expect any un-registered/un-licenced riders around.....that why we have laws, it the people out there that believe they can ignore rules that really **** me off

i seen quite a few time little mini bikes out of control due to kids 'just' learning in public places which puts the general public at risk, just the other month my boys were introduced to quads....on a private property, there is now way i would let them ride around the general public yet

in saying that, if the parents show consideration and they move the activity away from the public and ride at reasonable times (8am-4pm or there abouts) than i have no problems with kids doing kids stuff.......thats learning to ride, crashing there bikes, breaking bones etc......

The Moto Park at Wyaralong off the Beaudesert -Boonah road is now open and includes ,according to the local paper, * three motocross tracks * one pee wee track * area for novice riders * freestyle motocross track * Up to 40km of recreational trails *
