Unless you have a street plate. ;)Originally posted by Papakeith
The only problem I see with Pittsfield is the need for riders to be registered in Mass. (yellow plate atv reg)... I would still like to see any venue that we go to have at least two types of riding available for the attendees.

Usually May 1st depending on the Mud season or lack there of this year. NETRA sells Loop maps. I do know at least one guy who know the area well. You also have October Mountain (Nice Place, alot of Quads though)Originally posted by WoodsRider
Pittsfield State Forest, over in MA, has a trail system. I don't know how many miles or when the trails "officially" open for dirtbike use, but I could check into it.
True, true. I just got my plate in the mail a couple of weeks ago. And that was on the 84 that got sold to me as parts only. 20 dollars to register, and 20 for taxes. I'd love to hit any Mass state forest. Pittsfield has a camping area available too.Originally posted by BRush
True, but on the other hand, Mass. does make it relatively painless for out of state riders to get the plate.
The only area I know well is Tolland which incidentally has the least legal trail. I've ridden in October mountain and Beartown, I'm sure with a trail map it could be navigated. Savoy and Pittsfield, I've only ridden in enduros. According to the MA. D.E.M. web site Pittsfield has the most legal trails. Either way anyone riding in these forest will need a plate. I do know members of the Berkshire Trail Riders do know these trail and I could get them to help. Maybe even lead different groups. You know people who are afraid of rocks and those that aren't.Originally posted by WoodsRider
DJ - Would you mind assisting me in semi-organizing some sort of trail ride over in Mass. I'm sure you know all the "good" places over there. However some of us aren't street-legal, that's why I suggested Pittsfield. Well that and the proximity to Albany. Do you know of any better places?
Yes they will give any bike an ATV plate.Originally posted by RM_guy
Is it possible to get a plate for a MX bike? I'd like to ride in MA but I'm not registered in NY.
Good. As it turns out I just found out that I know the president of the club but I can't seem to get a hold of him. Let's both keep trying to get info.Originally posted by thermo
guy i work with say he really couldnt say for sure. so ill talk to my cosin and see what he says about square deal.
Agreed. We still be able to make it a pay to ride deal though.Originally posted by WoodsRider
Dave - The "work to ride" plan may be something to look into in the future, so keep in contact with this guy. Right now we should look into "pay to ride" events in order to gain interest in DYDR. Trust me, there's nothing worse than having three people hack branches and hang arrows on trails where 300 people ride. :confused:
This is New England, there's a few everywhere. I think nasty rock gardens can be avoided. If you want to wait until early May and ride it we can see how bad it is. But if we want an area with absolutely no rocks I don't know what to tell you.Originally posted by WoodsRider
I don't think too many people enjoy riding in rocks (I'm assuming there's a few at Pittsfield).
They don't bother me... I need more practice in them anyway. :scream:Originally posted by DANIEL JOSEPH
