Yeah that’s been on my list for a while! I’ll suggest it, but I think that might be little too far north from the where they’re driving from.

If we all work really hard to make the official language Klingon, we might be able to get on the news!

We DO have an official language. By the amount of times I get flipped off, it’s definitely sign language

Plus you can go across the street to surf cantina (but they don’t do frozen margaritas )

More to do with RI laws that limit what breweries can sell to product produced on site. Even that is pretty recent - before 2016 only wineries could sell on site.

The length of a skid mark left by a dirt bike depends on several factors, including the speed of the bike, the type of surface it is skidding on, and the condition of the bike's tires.
Assuming a dry dirt surface, a reasonable estimate for the coefficient of friction between the tires and the ground is around 0.5. To calculate the required speed, we can use the following equation:
v^2 = 2μgd
where v is the initial velocity of the dirt bike, μ is the coefficient of friction, g is the acceleration due to gravity (32.2 ft/s^2), and d is the length of the skid mark (50 ft). Solving for v, we get:
v = sqrt(2μgd) = sqrt(2 * 0.5 * 32.2 * 50) ≈ 40.3 ft/s ≈ 27.5 mph
Therefore, the dirt bike would need to be going approximately 27.5 mph in order to leave a skid mark that is 50 feet long on a dry dirt surface with a coefficient of friction of 0.5.

Eh, still gotta be doing 50mph.

I think we can all agree that the dirt bike/ atv plague is a citywide problem that needs a solution; mainly for the police to stop sitting on their hands and enforce the fucking law. That said, anybody here over the age of 20 was once a stupid, reckless 20 year old. Was what he did dumb? Undoubtedly. Did he “deserve” it? No, of course not…. What he deserved was a stronger and wiser support system; someone (just one person!) to step in and say, “Dude, not a great idea…”.
While we can be angry at the situation as a whole, we can also mourn the loss of life and sympathize with ALL involved.

I think the most reckless part about it is that this bike didn’t have turn signals, brake lights, or headlights. Plus this crash happened at night, so how are you going to ride a dirt bike on the road at night with no lights and not expect to crash into something?

I don't think Narragansett cops have a ton of other things on their plate to really worry about. It's a little bit different in a city that, while pretty safe overall, still has a fair amount of other crime.

I saw a 4 wheeler on RI Route 10 south weaving in and out of traffic. Got off at Union Av. Crazy and scary at the same time.
