    Bingo! Sounds exactly like my experience with the Ohio BMV. And they will do so with the utmost confidence in what they are saying. You should have asked them if you could swap it onto "the thicker" H1 frame and then videoed their heads exploding. :mrgreen: With my experience, none of the...

    This is certainly the crux of the matter. My opinion, supported by documentation with opinion straight from the NHTSA (which essentially carries the weight of law, like the ATF with their firearms opinion letters), shows that the whole off road only mandate is completely hollow from the get-go...

    I linked to it when I posted it before but here it is again: http://isearch.nhtsa.gov/gm/94/nht94-1.78.html It and other supporting documentation can be found in the PDF that cwc posted on page 12.

    Just like every other MV, they don't need to be. That's been the position of the NHTSA: https://isearch.nhtsa.gov/gm/94/nht94-1.78.html By way of background, I would like to discuss how military vehicles manufactured in the United States are treated under the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle...

    Does a Polaris RZR meet FMVSS or EPA on road emissions standards? What about a Yamaha or CanAm quad? Were they sold with the intent for them to be operated on road? Yet, here we are... The fact is many states have a 100% legal and above board process whereby an off road vehicle can be...
