More ridiculousness.

I guess if I lived there I'd make the most of it with a dirt bike and a snowmobile though.

Not at all, Dirt bikes enjoy! But it is a stupid regulation they have against atv's.

nothing wrong with them at all- but dirt bikes around here is what ruined it for all off road riders.

used to be able to ride a reg'd atv in the douglas state trails- during a trail event where a bunch of dirtbikers decided to make a new trail to avoid some mud- they banned all orv's from the state trails.

even when I got my $250 citation- the cop was chasing 2 dirtbikes down when he saw me-

around here, because dirtbikes are cheaper and easier to find- more teenagers have'em- and they don't give a shat about anyone or anything-

Its not the machine its the rider. Like you said BG most of the dumb ones on the trails are the younger people. You should see the mess and problems they make around here with trucks and jeeps. F ers even pull the closed gates out of the ground.
Salesdan in this state everyone loves to hate and we seem to be a easy target. Funny how a bunch of libs. can have such a visceral hatred for others who are different from themselves. Iam glad I/we live so close to nh and maine. States that want us there. Trying to get new legal trails or old legal trails reopened in ma. is like pissing into the wind. There used to be about 30 legal places to ride quads in ma. belive it or not. The problems is IMHO population and we are a small state as well as general perception of our community. Its a shame too because there are some beautiful and really fun trails around here.

look at what I went through just trying to secure a measly 5 mile loop for that charity ride I started! As soon as anyone heard the word "ATV" it went down hill. It was going to cost me $1500 just to hire police details & secure supplies for a 5 mile loop & bbq in the town I was donating the money to!!! I couldn't even get local ATV clubs to help me!!!

I actually think "lawyers" ruin it more then anything else- just about every club or official I asked all said the word "liability" before saying "sorry- can't help you"

If anyone is interested, I'm thinking of going up to Claremont on Saturday, the 22nd. I can give anyone who wants to come the grand tour. There are two areas to ride that used to be connected but it now requires you to trailer to each seperately due to a landowner who closed a section of trail. I can meet anyone who wants to ride at the Burger King, at 324 Washington St., Claremont, NH. I would probably get there around 9:15-9:30 am.

Looking for places in NH that aren't to far to drive. I'm 20 miles South of Boston. Any places just over the border? Thanks.
