    Go to Raglan just off train tracks there is a dirt patch running to a huge sand pit. Place is packed during weekend but open during the week.

    this is the type of places im looking for.. i'd rather have permission to ride.. but i dont want to just pull into some farmers driveway and say " hey i live in the city, can i ride on your field?"

    most people would look at me like im some delinquent from the city looking to cause trouble and tear up their land.

    They have stepped up enforcement in the area. I've been pulled over a couple times this year on boundary rd.

    I have a question about the Raglan pits. Would I be able to take a pick up truck there (fully road legal) and do some doughnuts? Is the enforcement there mostly for unplated / uninsured vehicles?

    You are not allowed in the pits or any of the surrounding trails at all. If caught, you'd probably get a trespassing fine. The HTA applies to Boundary Rd. and Byers Rd.

    So Boundary Rd and Byers Rd are legal roads then? They're not private?

    Yup. Make sure you are street plated and insured if you are on them. The cops can put you through the ringer if they catch you without.

    Plate it ASAP - lots of great riding to be had once you're plated.

    Yeah, taxes suck! If you don't transfer the ownership over ASAP, you risk running into trouble though... I believe you have a set period of time you can change ownership over - i've never left it long enough to find out what happens if you wait to long! You might just have to "get" another receipt with today's date or something...
