The advent of the toy hauler has made it easy to take your toys and leave home. Your motorcycles, Off-Road Vehicles, snowmobiles, and other recreational vehicles go with you in the "garage" of your trailer. You can go from state to state, and from competition to competition. Some may follow the sun, and others may follow the snow, but all are on the go! It's always fun to compare notes with other ATV devotees.
Know the rules of the road (on and off it)
Every state has rules for owners of ATVs, but not all have the same set of regulations. You would do well to familiarize yourself with the laws of the state in which you are visiting. Proof of ownership and registration may vary. Learn what you need if you want to ride your ATV without falling afoul of the law. Remember that these vehicles may be ridden only on public land or places where they are authorized. Nearly all states oblige users to hold a particular kind of license, be minimum age, and use safety paraphernalia, Your vehicle must be registered, and drivers must abide by local speed and noise restrictions. Look up the requirements, and be informed.
Connecting with local ATVers when you are away from home
There are ATV clubs all over the United States. It is simple to do an Internet search covering the area where you plan to visit. Then make contact with local clubs. They can tell you when and where competitions will be held, and give you lists of local events. You can find lists of Offroad Parks on the web as well. Do as much research as possible before you arrive at your destination to save time when you are there. It's a great opportunity to compare notes about your vehicles, and accessories with likeminded sportsmen.
Connecting with other ATVers online
Stay connected with other aficionados online through forums and discussion groups. Discussions range from the best off-road GPS device to fun places to go and things to do. One person can tell you about his Mohave Desert adventure, and someone else will enthuse about Illinois.
