4wd offroad registration (like atv's)
Posted: Thu May 19, 2005 8:59 amAnybody researched how to "get on board" with a registration program similiar to snowmobiles and atv's in ANY state?
Seems to me that we cant seem to get anybody concerned about us because we dont contribute directly to the program. State of Maine seems to all of a sudden be bending over backwards for atv's and new land/trails. Mostly up north so I am told. Someone provided them with and economic impact in the $200M range for atv's and atv's are out selling snowmobiles 3-1. Snowmobiles have an estimated $400M impact currently on the economy. 3-1 ratio means atv's will pass sled shortly.
Funny what can be done once you hire a lobbiest. And yes I have been hobnobbing with the atv group just recently-hence all my (hopefully correct) info.
So my question is.........Has anyone actually spent time on researching how we get included in the process? I might be able to get a Maine legislature' reps ear throught the same process we just did for the ABS & lift laws. Might be able to get the same person to sponser a bill once we are ready.
