Well, since there is really no where legal to ride in CT I am planning on going down to Mass and registering my machine down there since they have tons of trails to ride and such. Does anywhere here have any experience with Mass registration and also what it is like over there for riding? Your info would be extremely helpful.

Thank you!

 

I live in mass and ride all over. You could go online and regester because it is pretty easy. Its pretty rocky here but some nice riding. You will probably like it. It is only like $50 to regester.

Yea..not tons of riding unless you either go illegal or know private places.

Then come spring you have 4 state parks 1 of which 'use is encouraged elsewhere'

Western Mass ATV association has done tons of work at Pittsfield over the last few years and the trails there have improved greatly.
