I don't know much about law, but i think i understand why laws and regulations exist.

Dirtbikes are illegal because they are not safe on the roads.

These kids would still be braking the law if they were riding their legal bicycles with their mothers' kitchen pans in the back.

There are laws and ordinances that prohibit excessive, unnecessary and unreasonable levels of noise. They need to be enforced. Bottom line.

People who ride excessively loud dirtbikes, modified motorcycles or cars, or play their music above the acceptable level for the human ears, are braking the law. It's unhealthy for too many people, including themselves. They are just too arrogant to even realize that.

My freedom stops where yours starts, my parents taught me. So your freedom stops where mine starts.

SeeClickFix New Haven Nation, time to make some noise of our own. Spring has sprung and again dirtbikes are flying up and streets, through parks, and on sidewalks, terrorizing the city.

On April 28 (Thursday), give the mayor’s office (203 946-8200) to let her know that it’s time to track down the bikes and confiscate!! More calls equals more action and fewer dirtbikes on the streets!!

SCF Nation, call it in to the Mayor's Office tomorrow (4/28/16): 203 946 8200. Just tell whoever picks up the phone that you have a message for city hall: let's get the bikes off the streets!
