I've also been in the political aspect of ORVing in some capacity since 1999 and have seen 1st hand the waste and deceit that comes from within some of those in the DNR who are responsible for our...

Well stated Jim. I too, have sat thru tons of hours of ORV meetings since 1999. And in the end, it dont really matter what the public likes or dislikes, the DNR will do whatever it is that they want...

Was wondering IF the Government shutdown has any impact on ORV use in the National Forest we have in Michigan?

Meaning if a ORV trail goes thru one of our National Forest here in Michigan, is it...

If Oboma had a sign, it wouldn't look anything like that! lol

SO, Please take a look at [d] does it mean starting April 1 of 2019 that ORVers start to ride for free in Michigan? Its does say ''no fee'':banghead:

(2) The fee for a ORV license is as follows

I think we sell about 200k ORV stickers per year. And of these 200k sold stickers, ''maybe'' a total of 10k are from folks involved in various non-profit ORV clubs. Most of the non profit club...

I also like a challenging trail too, but grant sponsors are suppose to follow the guidlines that are in the handbook first.

When a grant sponsor agree's to do trail maintenence, he/she is given a...

Sure is strange how we can get a bill like SB 4669 to pass in 6 weeks of floor time but we cant find a legislator who will spend 5 minutes of time with us to amend some very old and outdated ORV laws...

So essentially, the roadway connectors from trail/trail for the MCCCT would have to be connected by either a forest trail/road or a State highway?

Can a local municipality open up a forest roadway or a M highway under their jurisdication by using PA 240?

A students father informed me during my last safety class that some ''NOTICE Secretary of State Licensing Required Beyond This Point'' signs are still in place even though the County has adopted an...

When you look at the definition of a ORV, a golf cart does indeed fit the criteria of an ORV under Michigan law. No need for meaningless change. Just another example of State Representatives who dont...

[QUOTE=hitechman;68213]Golf carts and others are not currently defined as OHV/ORV's. This would add them to that definition. They probably want road tires off golf carts so better traction off...

Can somebody please explain the Rational behind this change?

I guess not!

Steve,
after examining all of SB 0050, I do not understand the Rational behind changing some of the language regarding ORV and ATV's.

(a) "ATV" means a 3-, 4-, or 6-wheeled vehicle...

Thanks Steve,
I'll carefully look over SB OO50.

Steve,

I couldn't make this either as I had safety classes to instruct on the 16th. Any updates we need to be aware of from anybody who was able to make it?

Thanks,

Got it Dave, sent you PM back.

Yes, they do. The Mounds and Silver Lake Sand dunes follow Michigan DB sound levels [ 94 db limit ] for Dirt Bikes & ATVs.

Dave, how you been my long lost friend?

I totally agree with you Renegade, the language really leaves it wide open as to what a ORV really is. Further, in this same Bill, we have language that will not accept ORV safety certificates from...

who are the group of ORVers/people who bring these changes to our legislature? This Bill does nothing for the full size guys and makes no sense.
