Lot easier to make space for a bike or an ATV than a truck. Cost is also different.

>Ticks make my skin crawl, I hate the little fuckers!

Same: I'm phobic-ick! ick! ick! (also leeches and those worms that come down on threads ICK!)

Haha that said, I love walks and trails!

Years ago I bought a book, "Walks and Rambles in Rhode Island" and it's fantastic! It has at least a dozen, all mapped and described and rated for time and difficulty and describes what each one offers in terms of sights or animals (seals, birds, etc)

Unreservedly recommend!

I go to New Hampshire as often as I can do that’s my place.

>I’d take RI over any of the places I’ve lived.

Same; lived in states south, north, and west of here as well as in a handful of other countries on other continents.

When I came back to the States and had my pick of any place to settle, I chose RI and have not once regretted it since -- I love Rhode Island ❤️

It’s about damn time. Fuck these clowns. They do wheelies at me, and then give me a look of complete disbelief when I don’t veer away and they have to dip and fall.

>they’ll spend the money on the atv/dirt bike

Most of these bikes and quads are old and shitty or stolen.

Uh, it happens in Boston even more.

>Massachusetts has a decent amount of concealed carry holders.

No, it's those of us in full sized trucks that they're going to do something remarkably stupid in front of and we won't have time to stop.

You’re welcome. I live in an area with lots of ticks. I have my yard treated every few months professionally. And thank you.

Reminds me of living in Philly, the dirt bike/atv gangs literally took over the main road in center city.

> except the girl that was passenger is not a part of this whole thing and was just riding on back one night.

That makes her involved.

I had some behind me on 10 riding my bumper so I built in a little space and then gave them a good scare by a hard brake. They backed off a little more. Not a smart move on my part but I was pissed. The cop should have used a shotgun.

Not that these riders would know, but the rules in RI are unclear. They define that something with low pressure tires can be a snowmobile. Atvs have low pressure tires, it’s not even a debate. And there are several state parks where they are allowed. It’s written very unclear….

Section 8.2 definitions:

https://rules.sos.ri.gov/regulations/part/250-80-00-8

They go on to list where these recreational vehicles are permitted, but if you went there you’d have a problem because not even the DEM know how they’re own rules are written.

Areas where you “can” ride:

8.13

https://rules.sos.ri.gov/regulations/part/250-80-00-8

Now if you show up to these places, they’ll all say “no motorized vehicles”. The dem also expects you to register said vehicles even though you can’t ride it anywhere in public.

Under now circumstances can you free ride on the road like this, it’s reckless. You can make a parallel crossing safety, but that’s it.

Like cornering and threatening a woman with two small children. Fucking low life scum.

Rather than DEET, use picaridin and permethrin. DEET will ruin synthetic clothes.

I use a picaridin spray every time I hike, and treat my hiking clothes with permethrin. REI carries what you need if you want to check it out.

I also shower after my hikes to avoid getting bitten.

Happy hiking!

Just stay on the rocks at Beavertail. The woods are loaded with ticks.

That's great. Enjoy watching more of your idiot friends get scraped off the road!

That's quite the predicament

Because the last time they tried to stop them it ended in multiple riots.

And in that case one of these losers drove into a brick wall on his own, cops never even touched him. Imagine if PPD were to actually put their hands on one of them!

That cop should be fired. Defund the police
