According to the following http://www.warwickshi...afty/motorbikeleaflet
NO
Extract from the above
What about rights of way and bridle paths? These historic rights of way date back to a time when horses were the primary means of transport. All the law surrounding this preserves the rights of people to walk and ride horses along them. That means no motorbikes or quads! The two groups do not mix and it is simply not safe!

Extract from
Motorbikes in the Forest
There is a real danger to horse riders and drivers in the Forest from illegal motorbike riders. Motorbikes are forbiidden on Forestry Commission land and bridleways. However, this does not deter some individuals from causing mayhem in the countryside.
Please do report all instances of motorbike encounters. The police WILL be sympathetic to your complaints and they must give you an incident number when they log your call. The more incidents they receive, the more they will follow up. Even if the motorbike has no registration number, the police would want to know the colour of the motorbike, the colour of the rider's clothes and helmet and the area where the encounter took place. Planning of future joint operations between the Forestry Commission and the police will take reported 'hot spots', where incidents have been recorded into account in targetting stings.
The Forestry Commission is also interested in following up complaints of illegal motorbike usage.

Nibbles is quite right, most of the areas where I used to walk Max were Forestry Commission and round the sites and at the entry points there are notices as to what and what not was allowed on site and the phone numbers to contact about infringements. At the moment there's a dispute going on in one particular area of woodland about horse riders using the footpaths and not the bridle paths which has resulted in several incidents between parents walking their children and dog walkers
because daisynonna, its not me who rides a bike but i walk my dogs in the wood and im fed up with bikers ripping up the paths, most of the bikers are polite and slow down or stop but there are many who dont, i wanted to know so i could tell them, where they could go, so dont jump down my throat before you know the facts
