    People sometimes ride around 410/407 I forget where exactly. It wouldn't be legal though.

    right below the coke plant.. definitely not legal at all.. cops watch it a bit,.. my neighbor went down there one night and got his jeep stuck in about 2.5 feet of mud..

    he came to my door around midnight looking for a tug out of there..

    That's a crappy area, all rutted and washed out. The city had plans to purpose the area for enviromental trails and stuff like that but nothing has been done about it so far. There is plenty of signage that tells you not to be there. Unfrotunately if you live in Brampton you are probably going to have to trailer it to ganaraska forest or to a motocross track either gopher dunes or moto park. That's just been my experience and the places I go.

    Nothing legal or good in Brampton ..... you will have to make your way out of town and I don't mean just Caledon ... that's what kind of made me sell by dirt bike years ago.

    Get a small dual sport. Lots of roads, paths - goat and otherwise, just a bit north of you.

    The act states a fine of no more than 2000 dollars, however, not likely to go to the max.

    If you've been to Hockley Valley Rd on the paved road, just try almost any North or South road going up out of the valley. Only one is paved and straight (3rd Line heading south to Hockley Valley Resort). Most of the other roads involve gravel and some kind of switchback. The further north you go, the better the chances of getting unmaintained dirt roads, which is when the fun really starts. This is especially true north of 89. Just remember - East-West roads, between Hwy 10 and Airport Rd, are mostly twisty and paved, North-South roads are mostly twisty and gravel/dirt.
