I have been thinking about this as well. My main point being that if its legal to ride as long as you have proper documentation, then whats all the fuss about Chatsworth closing down. If the folks that run that area lost the lease or what ever, than as long as I am registered and insured, whats the big deal? There wont be any organization, but the property is still fair game???
Where I live, I was on a motorized bike probably soon after the training wheels came off my bicycle, and I remember always running from the cops. Never a good exp. with them. I remember riding in spots down in Lakewood, Forked River, Waretown, etc. that are now covered by homes and those cops chasing us also. I think of the hunters that use the camo covered atv's and their high powered weapons to hunt, I guess they get a pass?
There is thousands and thousands of acres in the Pineys, why does everyone go to Chatsworth, because its legal. Some of the Pines borders Ft Dix and McGuire, so if Im registered its OK? The guy driving his son and his sons 2 friends are going to park on a dead end street and unload and ride off into the woods as long as they are registered, doubt it. Is the guy at the local Honda dealer going to give you a map of the plces you can ride, hell no, he wants your money, just like the politicians do.
I know where I can ride and where I cant. Do I see quad and dirt bike tracks where I ride, yes. Should they be there, no. Is a cop in New Brunswick going to chase someone riding a quad down the street? Will a cop down in Lacey chase a kid on a quad? Answer to both, probably not. But both times the person on the quad is in the wrong.
