MD is to busy saving the environment from evil dirt bikes. Just be thankful they let you keep your bike.

It will be ATV centric. Betcha

Since the majority of the money for the grant came from the ATV/Snowmobile fund the ATV's are an important part. It will be handle much like Rock Run with bikes paying a higher useage fee. But PaOHV is very involved and their rep., George Fetterman is a Valley Forge Trail Riders member. So bikes have good say in the process thanks to Dick Lepley, PaOHV Exec. Dir.

This is good news for everyone in Pa. that rides motorized; bikes, quads, and 4x4s.

Yabbut look at PA right now, the state forests are full of ATV trails and no one likes bikes. Sure it would be great, but we'll see.
One thing is ATVs must be titled, tagged and insured-this is money for the state. They can't or haven't done this with bikes. If they think they can get some more $$ they might try.
