Other than what i have guestimated:
$300-400 each for safety gear
$1200-1600 for a 16' trailer

what else? Insurance?

Thanks

Welcome to the forum bananaman, It sounds like youve got a good grip on expenses. I dont have to buy insurance for toys here and dont. Registration fees could apply in your area. But mostly its the little stuff. New spark plugs, chain lube,oil, grips, goggle lenses, etc... And gas money will always be necessary.

Insurance is a must around here, it is even the law for ATV's. Your homeowners will cover you if it is stolen from your house, but not if you are on the trails and crash. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

Also you will need mods! Tires are the most popular. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

What type of insurance? Is it expensive? What's an estimated cost per adult ATV ?

always get insurance. its not that expensive. i pay like $150/yr for full coverage, collision, theft, comprehensive, liability, etc... its worth it i think. quads cost too much money to risk NOT having it.

I get liability coverage on all my quads. What if one of the kids runs into somebody, etc.??? $30 per year.

And, full coverage only on the more expensive ones. About $100-150 per year.

What kind of a deductable do you pay reconranger? And do you use it for all damage? or just big time damage?

I have never insured a OHV in my 33 years of riding off road.
