Motor x
We recently had a visit at Twin Lakes from two U.K. riders P.C. Scanlon, who brought his whole family for an Easter break. They were aware of the local Motor X track at Montendre, so as all enthusiast do brought their Motor X and Quad bikes.
Riding in France, if you hold a U.K. race license bring it with you, you will need it. If you don’t have a license you will need a medical, which we at Twin Lakes can arrange. Whilst we at Twin Lakes are “bike friendly” we must stress due to health and safety as well as other guests there can be no riding on site.
