The Bostonians behind the noise at Franklin Park
âWhat you see in the news is that weâre being wild and disruptive, but in reality, weâre not doing any harm. Weâre just trying to have fun.â

City life can be loud. Sometimes itâs a parade of vehicles â mostly dirt bikes and ATVs â cruising in large packs through Roxbury, Hyde Park, and Dorchester, including Circuit Drive, the winding boulevard that cuts through Franklin Park. Itâs a sight to behold, the stream of riders on vehicles roaring along the city roads on the weekends. Someone described it to me as the Boston version of âMad Max,â a post-apocalyptic unruly crowd of misfits with their faces covered.
