Default Lets off road!!!!

Will i be able to thrash my dirt bike round the ozy bush or down a beach in Perth without being chased by the cops.
Find that there are few places to use it legally in the uk due to haveing fun being frowned on in uk.

Not on a beach IN Perth, to busy with swimmers etc!
But there still should be some around Perth. I think it'd be at least 50km out of Perth cbd.
And there's plenty of bush AROUND Perth, like in the hills area (30 km east of Perth cbd)

Anyway, don't have any experience with it in Perth, though my dad used to 4WD around the back of Kalamunda, and I drove my brothers bike on the beach in Windy Harbour once....( I was 12 or so )

I expect 'it frowned upon' in the UK, because there's not much space without people, so it's a bit dangerous?!

Gnangara Plantation/Forest off Gnangara road is very popular with dirt bikes, quad bikes, 4wd's etc. There's plenty of forest tracks, sand dunes/bowls and I think they even have a dedicated race circuit up there.

It's about 15mins (20kms) from the CBD, in the Northern Suburbs.

Otherwise you can head to Lancelin and hit the sand dunes up there. It's a really popular spot and is super busy at weekends with all kinds of machines tearing up and down the dunes. Lancelin is about an hour north of Perth.
