1200 dollars a year for insurance? on your car? damn, i pay that much in 6 months on mine and my wife's truck, even with a discount for married and a multi-vehicle discount. you should consider yourself lucky. im still looking into getting my quad on the street here in mississippi. and from what i've seen, inspections should be no problem. as soon as you see more than 5 cars with no rust and dents, and no missing lights, you know you're not in mississippi anymore. i dont think people down here have ever even heard of emissions!

Umm. Eww.

I pay about $550 for 1 Durango, 1 Pathfinder, and a Jeep Sahara. $600 if you include my GS650GL. That's yearly, with full coverage on the Durango.

I have a 2001 Daewoo Nubira. So it's not like it's going to break an insurance company unless I slam into a high dollar Benz. It's full coverage but only carrying about 30/60/30 policy which is as low as AAA here in CA will go. State min. is like 15/30/10 or something. So you might be carrying quite a bit more protection than me. I don't own a house. My boss as a Honda VTX1300 full coverage. $500K policy and it's about $1200/yr. When I first bought the car the company I was with wanted about $2000/yr for a policy. Switched to another company. Had them for a year and they then cranked my policy up to $1800/yr. Clean record. Been driving since I was 18. But, gotta love those CA rates!

I live out in the country so I can take a quick zip down the road sometimes if I feel the need for speed.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

But riding on the street to get to work etc. would own.Put street tires on my atv with blinkers mirrors etc.
I dont see how a street bike is any safer and there legal and you dont even have to wear a helmet.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]
I pitty the fools I see with crotch rockets doing wheelies down the interstate with no helmets
and wearing flip flops and a wife beater.

Washington State has it written into law that an ATV cannot be made street legal, even with the proper equipment

if you go to www.littlefootconversions.com they have a section on there entitled 'advocacy section' which will give you your states specific laws, the names and addresses of different people you can write to. good luck!

my buddy lives in the poconos and he converted his grizzly into a licensed- street legal atv. All he had to do was put on turn signals, mirrors, and i think he pays about 350 a year for insurance.
