Steve, we have loads of forests here, commercial plantations, many of which are owned by the Forestry Commision, a government dept ∴ owned by the tax payer, but they don't like motorized stuff in there.
Through many explorations I have found quiet tracks where access isn't a great hassle, but I tend to ride solo in case word gets round and too much attention gets aroused.
Some tracks are used by bikes/walkers/horse riders and so far I haven't been reported. Taking off the helmet and having a blether lets them know it's a mad/harmless pensioner on the loose!
The police bike is in Glasgow where I lived 3 years ago and I got talking to the rider. They preferred the ST1300 but liked the Yam FJR engine.
The pic was taken on one of our hot days, ie over 15℃
