ATV Season For The New England Area is On its Way.

ATV Season in New England is about to start. But please remember, if you love to ride your ATV then observe these simple rules.

• If a Trail Is Posted for Mud Season, Don't Go on it. If you do you might just destroy any last chances we have to ride our Beloved ATV's.

• Ware safety equipment, and Ride Safe.

• Don't forget as summer comes, you will start to share the Trails with Bikes, Walkers, Runners, and even horses. Remember your the most dangerous thing on the trails.. You have the ability to cause the most damage, or even death. So drive safe. If you see a large group of walkers slow down and let them pass, or pass them very slow. If you run into horses!! Stop the ATV and shut the engine off if they are heading towards you. Horses are very skiddish to ATV's. If you are going the same way as a horse, best bet is too slow down and wait to they notice you. They will most likely slow down or even stop on side to let you pass.

• Before riding your ATV, do some basic maintenance on your Bike. Oil Change, Valve Jobs, Air Filter cleaning. Nothing worse then getting broke down, 40 miles in woods.

• In summertime, if you see cans or other crap some loser left on the trail don't be afraid to pick it up and get rid of it. Most land you ride on is privately owned. You wouldn't want someone leaving Cans and trash on your lawn right? So don't leave it on someone's Trail. Two separate times last year I cleaned up beer cans off the trail system where I ride the most. It sucks. But it had to be done, to keep the riding legal.

And for you Maine Residences. We don't have a Legal Mud Season. But enough of the trails are run by ATV, and Snowmobile clubs that they might be posted for mud season. Listen to them, another month is not going to Kill you. If you don't listen to me or the Clubs, then listen to this. Right now Democrats Run the State Of Maine, and the Democrats would like nothing better to do then make their tree hugging hippie constituents happy and ban ATV riding altogether. And if your an ATV rider, and voted for one of the loser Democrats now plaguing our state... Thank you soooooo much.. Not!! Not that republicans are much better.. They are at least a little less likely to take your ATV rights away though.

remember again, Maine does not have a Mud Season in books yet. But keep abusing the trail system and they will. Then pretty soon you will be just like the sorry folks in Connecticut, Massachusetts.. no where to ride. So its up to you... Think before you ride.
