atv has to be set up factory for a second rider, bolt ons and add n dont count. this does NOT include private property, only trails and routes!

i dont agree with it either but like said above many drive one that doesnt really know how and it only takes a couple of idiots to screw it up for people with common sense. why do you think we have all those stupid warnings on everything?

Gonna make it tough at times to take a kid trapping, or demonstrate how to drive one. Rules are ok when they make sense. Guessing most of those accidents were on 4 wheelers designed more for play than utility or work.

Texas leads the nation in ATV deaths but you have had a steady rate so your increase is only 6%

https://www.cpsc.gov/Safety-Educati...ter/Death-Associated-With-ATVs-by-State-

Wisconsin had a much lower rate 1982-2014 and then had a 60% increase in 2015-2017 with 48 deaths looking at 2019 with 22 deaths by it's self it is still increasing.

we loose a kid in the county 4-H nearly every year to tractor roll over of some type it's sad . no one wants to see that but I don't think Madison can legislate that away.

You know registration is still required even if the vehicle is only used exclusively on private land, right?

Wisconsin private use, non-agricultural registration fee: $15, valid until ownership is transferred

Valid for use exclusively on private lands owned by the applicant or by an immediate family member. (ss 23.335(1)(j)[exit DNR] [exit DNR] “Immediate family” means persons who are related as spouses, who are related as siblings, or who are related as parent and child.) This type of registration remains valid until ownership is transferred.


yes they are rgistered , what I was more saying is I don't really see the less than 1 warden per county getting out to write a pile of tickets for farms where you are riding double out to fix fence or move animals.

we rode double all the time , the issue is people being stupid causing new restrictions for everyone.

there should be some exception made for training purposes on private ground or on less than 7% slope less than 15mph not on roads or trails or something like that.

a friend bought his grandson a little 4 wheeler when the kid was about 4-5 he is 18 now , he used a RC remote to actuate the relay that operated the kill switch any where withing 100 yards he could kill the engine on his grand son kid learned to ride well.

it will probably just make side by sides even more common.

a good trailer would also be nice so many of the trailers for atv are junk
we got o where we found a small 4x8 or 5x8 road type trailer was the most useful but had to be very careful not to over load it a trailer just big enough you could load the atv onto it and pull it down the road then put it behind the ATV for work.

the issue is you just can't legislate common sense.
