No there is no sound limit and the only thing that's not allowed in there is UTVs and trucks... Your bike needs to be registered (13% of what you paid for it and $50 plate fee) and then insured which isn't too expensive. But sometimes there are horses or familys hiking in there so you need to shut your bike off to let horses pass and keep your bike quiet when you ride past MTBers or hikers and just be respectful to other people in there

I did not realize you could plate a 2 stroke race bike ?

And was under the impression since last year they applied a DB law to 96.  2 strokers won't make that DB.

It's a green plate so technically you can ride anywhere on public (goverment) property if you have insurance with it. You can ride anywhere except the road or where you will get noise complaints which is pretty cool and I don't know about you but I've never been sound checked there before... And my bike is under 94 db

Sounds promising . Can you lead a dry horse to water. 

How do I go about getting the green plate ? And where did u get ur insurance ?

If you don't mind sharing

[Rm125guy]

Well if you have the ownership for your bike (which I really hope you do) then you just go down to the DMV where people register their cars and you just register it like that. It's 13% of what you paid for the bike (and $50 for a plate) so be prepared Also I got my dirtbike insurance from statefarm I'm pretty sure and it's under $200 a year. My Dad takes care of all the paperwork and everything so I'm not 100% sure on all of it but it is, for the most part, accurate.

Also if you do go through with this (which I would highly recommend because Ganaraska is sweeeet) make sure you have your plate mounted on your bike/chestpad whenever you go riding there. Also, make sure you have your insurance slip with you when you go because they have cops out there on quads on most weekends checking peoples ownerships & insurance slips. If you don't have either you get nailed with a $150 ticket. Also, if you don't pay the entry fee ($25 for 18+ year old $10 for "kids") you will also get nailed with a ticket. Me and my Dad go there alot so were getting season passes! Pays off in 5 times! Definetly worth it all because its 11000 acres and tons of singletrack and it's pretty sandy
