Club News
On 05.18.12 what`s new?
| License Plate Requirement | | Deadline July 1st, 2012 - Are you ready? |
Starting July 1st, 2012 all ATVs & UTVs will be required to have a rear license plate attached. This license plate will not be provided for you. You’re going to have to build/buy it yourself – the club has obtained the requirements for this license plate and published a page to help you. |
 |
| Utility Terrain Vehicle (UTV) Rules | | What are the new rules about UTVs on the trails? |
The club has created a new page to help answer some of the questions about UTV (Utility Terrain Vehicles) - In a nut shell – the driver must be at least 16 years of age. The driver must have completed an ATV certification course (and passed it) before operating a UTV. Most of the same rules about head lights, tail lights, brake lights and speed limits are the same. Cannot carry more passengers than the machine was designed for and the noise limit is the same as ATV’s. A rear license plate is required and not all ATV trails are allowing UTV’s on them yet, but most do. Yes – North East Wisconsin Riders Inc. does allow UTV on our trail. |

License Plate Deadline July 1st, 2012
Did you buy a rear license plate for your ATV / UTV yet?
|
On April 2nd, 2012 Governor Scott Walker signed the UTV program & ATV enhancement (SB354) bill into Wisconsin Law. Part of this bill changes how ATV (All-Terrain Vehicle) & UTV (Utility Terrain Vehicles) are registered for public trail riding in Wisconsin. A big change is the requirement for a rear license plate - you must mount on your recreational vehicle; a rear license plate the DNR will not be providing. You, as the owner, will need to furnish this rear license plate while following some very specific rules on its construction. Click

Get ATV Basics Right From Start
|
My daughter is a conventional teenager with keen interest in sports. Academically, I am never too worried for her – she does well. Recently, she has been mixing around with lots of friends who owns and rides ATVs actively. These youths are not irresponsible, as far I can tell but I know that it won’t be long before she starts asking for a youth ATV herself. Not knowing anything about ATVs, I started looking around for information on how to keep youths and kids safe on ATVs. I’ve read countless reports and news about youth and kids’ deaths related to ATV riding…naturally, as a parent, I was deeply concerned. Images of her spinning around on an ATV or crashing goes through my head whenever I think of her asking for an ATV of her own. I went online into ATV forums and message boards and have consulted with some other parents with youths who are into ATV riding and they have given me many tips on how to handle my daughter who is in her prime youth years.

Wilderness Tails Encountered
What did she see?
About midnight my wife went out on the deck to have a smoke before she retired for the evening. She heard a growling screaming like sound coming from our field across the road. The sound was moving from the field across the road to the field behind the house. She heard the sound every couple min. She tried to observe any movement in the moonlight, but saw nothing. The next day after work she told me what she had heard. Being the 10th of Dec. it was dark when She got home at 5:30 p.m.. We decided to take a spot light and see if we could see any couger tracks. What we found were tracks that walked on two feet had a long stride and had a large footprint. The next day after thinking things over I went back out to the tracks and took a few photo's. The weather was warm for Wis. this time of the year and the tracks were all but gone, howerever I did find a couple somewhat intact prints.
