Not justifying the riders actions but FYI There isn't anywhere legal in RI to ride a dirt bike.

Where then? Most of these people don't have acres of their own land

It’s not legal on the street, should not be driven on the street. End of story. A dirt bike is a luxury. It’s not meant for transportation, but fun. Who cares if there is no where to ride it. If there is nowhere to ride it then do not buy it. What happened is sad. But, this dirt bike riding on public roads is the prototypical example of selfish and discourteous behavior. They are endangering not only themselves but others as well. That young lady died because her boyfriend put other drivers and her life at stake while recklessly and carelessly driving an illegal vehicle without lights. I have seen a similar accident happen in New Haven, CT. Luckily the young man lived in that case.

My response was to the "they should be riding it on dirt" technically there is no dirt for them to ride on either. It's ineherently illegal for anyone to ride an ATV, what's interesting is up north and out west it's mostly white people riding them illegally and trespassing on others or state land and no one makes much of a fuss.
