Just to add a step, if stolen return to rightful owners, or dealers they are sometimes stolen from. A shame when a reputable shop needs to block the door with their truck and chain their inventory to the floor.

Yup, how many of them ever go to the track in Richmond to pay for a day of off road riding?? None I bet.

I agree that the dunes should be reopened as a riding area, however these jerks will never go there to ride. It doesn't server their purpose, and it would be too far for them to ride there, lol.

Before crushing make sure they aren’t stolen. If stolen return to legal owners who probably ride them on a track (in another state) or private property.

Heading on Route 10 north on my line green ninja (not subtle) but wearing helmet , riding jacket, gloves and boots while not speeding I come up on a dirt bike and an ATV. First thought get away from these clowns before cops come, they take off and I get stopped and written up.

Route 165 in Exeter at CT state line is beach pond. But thread did start as desert. Two places shut down by our state.

Not sure what was there before but in the 80s and earlier we rode dirt bikes there. Not even sure if it was a quarry or the sand was a by product from some other process and was dumped there. It was a crowded place on Sundays especially with bikes, dune buggies, and 4X4 pickups. Probably a good amount of crashes too. When only a few people would ride on a weekday it was a lot of fun to blast across the dunes.
I think due to some crashes and maybe some bad behavior the state shut it down. I'm sure they could have done something on the weekends to make it safer, like maybe establish some sort of directional flow. Then again didn't the state dump rocks all over the sand at Beach Pond so no one can hang there on the beach? Apparently bad behavior and the state didn't want to have anyone posted at the RI/CT line to handle bad behavior.
I will say one thing as much fun as it was riding on it, that really fine sand could make its way into your airbox, possibly through the airfilter, it could also be tough on wheel bearings.

There is still a Laffey sign off 95S near west Greenwich. I thought of it when he said he was running for President.

Pachaug allows any license plated bikes, but only on certain trails or dirt roads. I think its a big loop they have for bikes.

You are correct. The red building on Escoheag Hill Rd. That is for trials bikes only. I think but don't know if you have to be a member of the RI Trials Club. Now that location has hosted world championships for trials, and i think some national championships. Again its trials bikes only.

yes, they have a facebook page, Buttonwoods MX. I think they are closed for winter. Its a JDay/MX type of track that you pay a daily fee to use. RI is a lousy place for dirtbiking unfortunately.

Not legal, unfortunately, even though in the 70's maybe earlier a dirt bike rider cut a trail there.

I just hope the Mavis acquisition of them doesn’t change things. Melvins has always been fair to deal with.

If the bike has a plate then Pachaug state park in Connecticut. Many KTM can be plates though I hear state is cracking down on that too. Something about the KTM MSO makes them easier to get plated. If you want to ride at an MX track you could join the Central Cycle Club in CT. There is also a track in Richmond RI that doesn’t require membership. RI is so hard to dirt bike legally.

Nope. Occasionally when the rhody rovers get a permit for an event but even that’s not easy.

Nope. Unfortunately the state shut it down to off road vehicles. Used to have a lot of fun riding in that sand.
