yeah we have to watch out. not many legal places to ride. make sure you are registered and insured too. if you dont have a title it will be hard to re-claim your bike. and they will ticket you for everything you are missing.

I hate to say it, but if it was between them taking my trike, or me downshifting and cracking the throttle, they would just have to eat my dust.

mike i know it stinks they impounded my buddy's 350x that he has no papers for and now he has to go to court and try to get it back along with a 400 doller fine and impound charges . he was riding in coram on rt. 112 when he got busted. and for outrunning them it is tough they have radios and if needed the copter and if you drove your truck there they would wait till you returned to your ride. it really stinks cause in about two weeks my t3 will be complete. the only place i know to ride with no prolbems is at the yaphank li motor cross and the surounding woods"hundreds of acres". so safe riding and if i hear of any other places to ride i'll post em.

One my 250R I have never stood still and waited to see what the cops wanted to talkto me about. But that has been mostly doing stuff that I know they would have a BIG problem with.....Wide open down the highway,back streets, construction zones,and blowing past the speed limit radar board to see my speed). When I was much younger and times were different we would just be told that we could not be there. But now that I am 30 years old and am running a 3 wheeler down the middle of the highway racing cars I think that the cops would not be so tolerant. It also helps that in my neighborhood I basically have known the same trails and how to get from here to there buy going around fences or a little trail. Everytime I know I should not be there I will always know my escape. So run if you know you can get away.

Ride FREE of DIE is my belief. You would have to shoot me if you wanted me to give up my bikes and impound them. I have them registered for the Massachussetts EPA but live 150 miles from the nearest state park where they ALLOW atv's. I mainly ride the powerlines and off path pits but use the road occastinally(I ride slow on the side and the roads are not busy streets either) Remember the song "This land is my land, This land is your land"? what ever happened to that belief. First they will tell you can't ride here then 3 months later you'll find housing developments where you once rode. It must all be about money.

Those stupid tree huggers won't be happy untill all machines are off their trails or so they claim. IT's the same way around here, all the horseback riders and biker fags think they own everything and you on your machine have no right to be there. The horses trailprotrailprotrailprotrailpro everywhere too. These people should be shot along with all the treehugging EPA morons.
