Anybody got a Street Legal Polaris?
#1
Seriously, I don't want to take it on the freeway, but I would like to be able to drive it locally on county and state (New Mexico) roads legally. I do it anyway.
Turn signals, rear view mirror, Horn, what else does it need? Of course there's no rear differential but it (Sportsman H.O.) drives pretty well on pavement.
I'm sure this varies state to state big time,
out west, down south, up north would be easier than California or back east, I would think.
I sure hope we don't have to crash-test!!
Anybody know anything?

mine is street legal.
i have a license plate and registration and insurance cards also.
south dakota said i had to have a 200cc or more engine, brake light, rearvew mirror, headlight and that's it. (no turn signals required) my plates cost me around $20 per year. the only place i am not legal to ride is the interstate. i have titan turf tires that i use during the summer and for street riding. they really are nice on pavement. turns are much more precise and when it's hot, the rear tires squak on the pavement. i love it. besides, it goes 62-63 mph, i ride on the highway and all around town.
i have been pulled over 3 times by uninformed police who assume it's illegal. i have a copy of the law right out of the books in my drybox. once i talked to one of the town cops and he asked me if i knew my hand signals for turning, etc. i told him yes, but i had seen him not use his turn signal several times as with other people in town. he wasn't amused but he did understand where i was coming from. i use my hand signals if there is someone close behind or in front of me.

EVERYBODY in WV has a street-legal quad. Evidently there are no laws governing ATV use on the roads here. According to an article in the paper, I believe the only requirement is the use of hand signals. This was just discovered recently and the State Police are already looking for new laws, but they can't be passed until the next legislative session. I don't feel so bad about the test drives around my neighborhood when I'm tuning my clutch now.

Check with your State Patrol. I did & found out in Nebraska, you can drive them on any road. You are to drive on the shoulder on State Highways, but otherwise it is OK as long as you have working lights, a safety flag, and use hand signals. You can do away with the flag if you stay on gravel. Some towns have ordinances against them, some don't. That is the other thing you have to check.
