Philly Classifies Dirt Bikes and ATVs as Illegal for Street Use

[abner13]

I don't understand. What 'loophole' are they closing?

If the bike isn't street legal, it's already illegal to ride on the street (duh). An ATV has also never been a street legal vehicle. I'd think that alone would have already been enough to impound them if caught on the street.

Banning ownership? Are you kidding? A Philly resident can't own an off-road vehicle, keep it in a garage, and trailer it to a location where it's legal to use it?

Sounds a lot like the argument about closing the 'gun show loophole.'

Can they all come out to your area and ride them?
