The registration thing is comical. They force you to register your machine, and insure it if you ride off of your own property. Even if you have permission to ride on the property that is not your own, you need insurance. Mainly because NY is THE MOST lawsuit happy place on the planet. That's the reason for insurance..... ANyways, the registration, there are NO state maintained trails in NY. THey are all privately owned. So, where are the trails that I pay for? I would like to know. I know in the Tug Hill area, you can ride, but they are not state funded. SO, with the hundreds of thousands of ATV's registered in NY, where is all the $$ going? Piss on NY. :shootself:

NY cops are mostly tool box ass holes. A kid up the road was selling his quad and he put it out near the road then all of a sudden a cop comes up on his property and starts harrassing him saying not to ride on the road and bull shit like that when he wasnt even riding in weeks because he was selling his quad. Everyone around here rides up the road, even the kids of a cop that lives accross the street from me rides the road!!! its fucking bull shit, why should we pay 40 bucks for registration when you cant ride on the road or even ride in your god damn back yard for crying outloud!!!!!! I say we get a huge petition going saying to lighten up on ATVers and Dirtbikers, and send it to the Legislature and let those assholes know how we feel. We could go to like every online forum and have people sign it and have them all send it to people they know and we could get a huge petition going!!

 

I know this aint gonna happen but an other idea is getting like every ATVer in NY to stop buying registration if our demands aint met. You gotta hit the legislature where it hurts and that's their wallets. Just think how much money the state government would lose if every atver stopped buying registration!

Your story of getting stopped for it being by the road remineds me of something that happend to me.....I had just rebuilt the Banhsee about 2 years ago, and was taking it to a local farm to get a little break in done. On the way my brother stopped at His bosses old storage barn to put some shingles in. As hes pulling in we see a cop go by, as were pulling out we see the cop go by again. So we go maybe a half mile down the road to where we turn off for the farm and viola! there was that cop sitting on the road. We just turn on the road figuring thats awful strange....I look behind us as soon as we turn and see the cop doing a full out power whip U turn deal in the intersection to turn around and follow us. He comes up right on our tail, but no lights so we just keep driving along. We go about a mile from where we turned and take another turn, cop follows us still. maybe 200yds from that turn is the farm, as soon as my bro puts his blinker on the cop puts his lights on. Im like dude go in the driveway and see what he does :lol: He thought hed play it safe ad pulled over right in front of the driveway. The cop comes up..licsence registration etc...My bro gives it to him. They the comedy starts..."Get out of the vehicle" The cop says "Where you coming from?" Bro replies "Bergen" "No your not, where were you coming from?" "yeah Bergen, I live in Bergen." Angrily the cop says, "No you wernt, You were going towards Bergen" (We were, but were still in Bergen...very confused at this point) "So where were you comign from!!" My Bro confused as heck says "I dont know!!" So the cop says It again.."So my brother catches on and says "Oh i came from that barn" "what were you doing there" "dropping shingles off for my boss" The cop didnt act like he belived him and gos on to the banshee.."WHat year is it?" "89" "Pretty new tires for an 89 dont you think??" My brother tries not to laugh and explains that they are brand new. "wheres the VIN?" He shows him the VIN and the cop calls it in. Then he gives him a hard time about registration and insurance...After the report comes in negative over it being stolen, he slightly softens up and says "Lots of people will store quads in barns over the winter when the steal them." and let us go. It was so rediculous the manner of suspicion we were given for simply having a quad in the back of the truck, He never check my brothers liscence either to see no record at all, probably just a nice guy with enough money to buy new tires..and does he really think that you just junk the quad when the tires wear out? My brother later taled to A cop he knows and he said the officer was alittle nutty...sheesh :lol:

if you guys new your rights you could have taken that cop to court for haring the peace. he would have at least gotton a reality check if not anything else. he had no rights to even have to step out of your truck. you should learn your rights. next he will be asking to seach your car and you will let him.

 

also its the people that make the cops out to get us. its not the cops.

but when you get charged to register an ATV in the state of NY, and there are no places to ride, isn't that a little like taxation without representation? Instead of dumping tea in the harbor you should ride wheelies down the street.

exactly! thats why there is no way in heck im registering my quad....Ive said it before and ill say it again if i meet govenor pataki Im going to kick him in the balls!! I guess he better that the weasle that was in before him...

I've got seconds on the ball kicking!! Pataki and all his butt-slappin, don't know their elbow from their a$$hole, money hungry bitches really need to eat some of their own sh!t and resign from whatever the hell they're doin! ......they're doing anything but helping out NY state.

 

Any way, I do not nor do I plan on registering my Banshee for NY. I do insure it and know where I'm riding though.

NY sucks ass! I would just check a map to see if NY is still in the US, maybe it has relocated to communist North Korea or went back in time to Nazi Germany and Hitlers trying to round up ATV's for extermination.

 

Gotsta be the only state that makes CA look good! :shootself:

 

I don't know shy we still call America a Democratic Republic, it really isn't anymore. Face it, we've already been force fed and swallowed socialism with a helping of comunism still on the plate.
