I live in Ogden, NY. The following is an quote from the proposed ban being voted on Wed. 5-27-09...

"It shall be unlawful to operate or for the owner to permit the operation of any
type of motor-driven vehicles or conveyances, including but not limited to twowheeled
vehicles known as “minibikes,” trailbikes” and “motorcycles,” three or
four-wheeled vehicles known as “ATV’s” or ATC’s” or the like and fourwheeled
motor vehicles known as “go-carts” and “no-wheeled vehicles,” such
as but not limited to snowmobiles and limited-use vehicles as defined in Article
1 of the Vehicle and Traffic Law, under the following circumstances."

I wont be able to use my atv to hunt or plow my driveway with anymore!

Here's a link to their site (read it for yourself):
Town of Ogden :: News Details

 

Better go to that meeting and bitch loudly. Ogden is pretty rural for something like that. Town supervisor have a relative get killed on a quad or a dirtbike or something??

 

So it would be illegal to operate on your own property? That doesnt seem right. Man what a way to help the down economy. Just basically streamline the downfall of any dealer in ur area

 

They'd have a helluva time shutting me down on my own property....

 

Yea sounds like the wording of the law is not correct. So does that mean you couldn't cut your grass with a ride-on lawn mower?

Regards,

R'

If i was you i'd start trying to organize people to go to the meeting and raise hell!

 

and we live in the free country(that rules our own property and what we can do) and pay high taxes. i love my country for sure, but these stupid laws are so bogus. imo

 

Thats a bunch of crap! I'd be buying a dual purpose motorcycle and have it licensed by the state of NY and then if they gave me a ticket it would be going to the state judicial system to be resolved!
How many people live in Ogden anyway? What is their major beef with offroad vehicles? How many dealers would be put under or even slightly hurt by such a socialistic piece of sh** law?
Try that where I live and folks would be threatening violence!

 

New York state is pretty much a socialist republic, FYI, and there aren't that many people in Ogden. It is maybe 20-30 minutes west of Rochester NY, and about an hour east from me. And more rural than the town I live in, and we ride our quads to the gas station, right by the deputies, and nobody minds as long as you don't act like an idiot. But this proposal is about more than quads. I'm leaving this place as soon as my daughters graduate high school. I love the 4 seasons, the different terrains, the amazing food. The great fishing, deer and turkey hunting. My family has a very long history here, and the local and state governments are driving me and my wife away (and others, in droves). It's crappy.
