** Day Trips by Bike Near Negril **
Leaving for Negril in 6 days, can't wait. Renting an enduro in the area for 3-4 days. Really would appreciate some day trip ideas near-by, that aren't terribly far away (less than 2hr riding), but worth the ride. Thinking about taking W. End Rd from Bloody Bay to Little Bay and Blue Hole. My only question about that route is the area shown in the map I attached. Would the area in red be ride-able as far as being non-private property? Any other suggestions are greatly appreciated!

I have never been on a bike in Negril... I am not sure what you have marked there is even a road?
Re: ** Day Trips by Bike Near Negril **
We do the loop past Westender, up, up, up at least 3 "hills" and end up around the city center gas station. It is a great trip and when you go on Sunday you can often hear them singing in the church at the top of one of the hills. Fun time and takes a couple of hours for sure.

Sounds great, thanks for the info!

many years ago we rented endoros and made an overnight trip to Montego Bay and then another to Sav,both a lot of fun and not too taxing on motorcycles,wouldn't want to attempt them on scooters.

I personally hate scooters, been riding liter bikes my whole life, so an enduro is a nice step down.

Don't have any particular paths to follow, but just get on the bike and ride. Head out the west end road and head down many of the roads. Hit Red Ground and check it out. In Negril, my motto is to just go with your gut and ride. So many adventures and roads to discover. Beauty beyond words!!! Enjoy the ride! :)

Sounds like a plan to me.

Swaptrex,
Subrina and I have been riding in Jamaica for years.
The route you are looking at is a great one.
After you past the Westender Inn and head up the hill, you will come to a right turn that leads to the Blue Hole. If you do not make this right turn, you will end up back at the gas station on the Negril to Sav road. If you continue on past the Blue Hole you will come to Brighton. You can continue along the coast to Likkle Bay. From there you can take the road to Likkle London. On that road you will pass Jamwest race track. We have actually run our bike down the dragstrip before. Just ask anyone for directions if you get off track. The pics below are from that area. We would pack a cooler full of Red Stripes and hit the road. This area is great for riding Let me know if you need any more info or advise.Attachment 26514Attachment 26515Attachment 26516Attachment 26517as there is not much traffic and the dirt bikes make the rough roads easy.

Hey Swaptrex,
There are numerous places you can explore from Negril by MC. By the way Harley Davidson has been trying for some time now to get Harley's as rental bikes in JA but have hit some Red Tape in doing so. I guess anything over 700cc the government has a prohibition on. What an awesome ride it would be Babylon by Hog, cross island tour, Hog Heaven!!!
Check out Bluefields, Lover's Leap, Maggoty, Treasure Beach, Seaford Town, Mandeville. You will pass through terrain that will blow your mind. Only thing is don't forget which side of the road you drive on as many foreigners have done, albeit briefly, that you drive on the left. Fatal mistake when you don't.

Yeah, I read that somewhere about Harley. Kind of a shame, because I would imagine Negril and Jamaica as a whole would be a good market for them. Looks like the main reason is local law enforcement doesn't want to get out-run.
