    just thought id let u guys know on how shitty i felt the day after. couldn't even get a good workout in cuz i was thinkin about it all effin day.
    Please don't get me wrong I am not preaching just pointing out. I too break this rule. I have an Agricultural Tractor that I run up to neighbors to do work with along a public road. Hear in Massachusetts it is not legal to do & there is no way to make it legal so you just kinda do it. Like everything nothing is a problem until it is. I was also a sand rail guy when I was younger & DId my share of running dirt bike and rails down and across public road ways. I am just being devils advocate in pointing out the risk involved

    not really. even if everyone played by the rules, we would still be paying out our ass.

If you are going to operate equipment on any public roadway you owe it to the public and yourself to have all the proper documents. License, Registration, Insurance, Tags. It is not just the Law but these are the things that not only protect the public but protect you, your family and what you own. You & your friend put yourselves in a position that could have cost you hundreds of thousands of $ because if the circumstances were different insurance company's would have been void of there responsibility to compensate anyone for injury or damages all over proper documentation. Because your friend gave his blessing he would have been the biggest looser in this.

    but its like u here from most bike riders. accidents arent usualy their fault. its usually the dumb asses driving around in cars that are just oblivious to there surroundings.
