Does Your State Require OHV Registration?

[frdtrkguy]

The new Nevada OHV registration law goes into effect 7/1/12. Looks like we're slowly becoming California :roll:

Off-Highway Vehicles

I read that the money goes to maintaining the program and other OHV related programs but I bet it ends up in the general fund and gets spent on some social program..

The only positive I see is that I wont have to buy a red sticker when I go to Rubicon or Fordyce..

AZ did the same thing a few years back. One of my coworkers had an old dirt bike that he had to go buy a bond for so they could issue a title so he could register it to ride a few times a year. So it took him hundreds of dollars to ride his off road bike that is worth maybe $500 and now a annual fee to keep riding it.

Michigan has required orange ORV (Off-Road Vehicle) registration stickers on motorcycles, four-wheelers, ATVs, snowmobiles, and the like for years. The registration costs you $16.25 annually -- it was a lower cost before, but we all know how those "self-funded" programs turn out..

Michigan can actually get quite confusing. If your every day driver (licensed, insured, legal to drive on paved roads) is your also off-road rig, you can take it to the ORV areas and use it as long as you stick to "routes." Here you don't need to have the orange registration sticker. If you go on a "trail," you will need to orange registration sticker.

In the end, the state of Michigan gets quite a lot from us. All three of our motorcycles which we use on the trails are street legal (dual sport bikes) and require the proper registration, licensing, and insurances there; and when we want to go have fun on the trail, we cannot forget to fork over the annual $16 fee to do so. Even in the winter the snowmobiles must have these orange stickers in order to go on the trails, routes, and waterways.

Yep. Its 20 bucks a year and a $25 late fee if you forget. liability insurance isnt required and the deadline for compiance is July of 13..

I wonder if any of the additional moneys will go to BLM for additional LEO's to enforce the new laws..

IMO, there are other ways for the state to increase income..

 

[Drail]

yes

$20?!?!?! its over $100 a pop over here in southern cal.:x i have 2 bikes for the kids and a racecar and a trail rig. also, if you havn't registered it for 1 year, they add an extra $20. and so on.:roll:

you bitching about paying a few dollars to have use of OHV areas... I have to pay $25 a day per quad to use a 300 acre private ride park that there are 2 of in the entire state. If I had use of a few thousand acres of public land, I could stand a yearly fee.

 

[reddevildemo]

Yup, here in Wisconsin, all 4 wheelers, buggies and such all need to be registered to use the trails. It used to be a sticker on each side of the tank but this year they changed it and now you need a license plate on the back as well.

Not bitching so much, just not liking any more government intrusion than necessary.. Im not big on paying to use public land that should belong to the public.. Its just another tax :evil:

Here in Oregon I pay some amount, I forget, for a sticker good for a year or two. Haven't updated mine for a good 3+ years. Haven't ridden my bike much and generally I ride it near my house in the BLM areas. They are starting to kinda push having to take some sort of a training course now in Oregon. The lady thought if was funny that I rode a trials bike and was asking about the course seeing if I could just bypass it somehow. Don't mind the having to take a course, just think its pretty stupid and if I ever do take have to take the riding course I'll take my little 280cc seatless trials bike and play around on anything I'm probably not supposed to.

I was lucky when I lived in Cali a while back. My 2 stroke was green sticker probably only because the California DMV didn't know what a trials bike was nor know what a Gas Gas 280 pro.

Shit here in ca we pay $52/2yrs and then pay anywheres from 5-25 /day to use ca state parks, and that only when red sticker is open, screw ca I pay enough in taxes as a landowner, used to pay bid tax, then had to pay taxes on gas then road fees, so to answer the ?

Talk about CA really sucking you know Los Angeles County passed a city ordinance even if you own the property you can't ride your dirtbikes or atvs on them. I actually had a sheriff show up and give me a warning.
Total BS.

Ya and it makes it a total BITCH to deal with..

So you can build a rig but you have to go thru WSP inspection to get a title so you can get ORV tabs on it---government at its best,,,

Same here, it would be nice to have a place in this part of the state even!
