Off Road

    Lads, been off the bike for a few years now but thinking about getting an off road machine. Never ridden off road so haven't a clue and was wondering where to start.

    Had a look at motocross.ie and that seems to be a bit dead, was wondering is there any school here or should I look at a weekend in the UK as a beginner. If I liked it I might buy an enduro for messing around on and keeping a bit of bike skills in play.

    Suggestions welcome.

    I think there is some kind of track near the airport in Waterford.
    I don't know anything about it though.
    Meant to check it out before but forgot about it.


    Edit!! Just dawned on me...that's the motocross.ie one isn't it?

    Cheers - I'll see if I can find it on the web.

    I was considering something like this, head over on the ferry and get in two solid days. I'd know if it was for me after that. Be handy if there was soemthing similar here.

    There are many off-road schools in the UK - brand names and independents. e.g. Yamaha - Wales and elsewhere, BMW in Wales, KTM, Desert Rose\Patsy Quick.
    I'm not familiar with what's available in IRL.
