Letter from the Editor

Hi everyone, and welcome to our first issue of 2012. Im sitting here thinking back to the launch of Rec Rider just four short issues ago. At the time, I knew in my heart that there was a need for such a publication. However, in the same token, my mind was questioning if we could really pull this off in our slow economy, if the riders would enjoy it, and if the rest of the industry would feel the same passion.

Fast forward to today, and so far, so good. As a matter of fact, its even better than that. There have been so many great comments and that a boys that it almost blows my mind. You -- the readers and riders of our region -- have really had our back. From day one, the support and contributions have come in. The advertisers have joined in, and we continue to grow. I was really a little concerned about the issue you are about to read. I didnt know if we would have the content in the dead of winter, and I didnt know if we would have any income. Well, both have happened, so here we go, our first full year in publication.

I have to again thank each and every one of you for wanting to be involved, for helping to guide, making suggestions, and for partici-pating and sharing your stories from the trail. As we dive into 2012, we see the economy improving, slowly but surely. We have an elec-tion coming that could be monumental, no matter which way it goes, but best of all, we have new opportunities to ride. We have a chance to get out there and make a difference to establish more places to ride and meet new friends. Get involved somehow or someway, join a club, join the PA OHV, send in a story or a picture, tell us where we can ride and how we can continue to ride. Our sport is great; it lets us spend time with family and friends while staying in shape and enjoying the great outdoors. Turn off the TV, leave your cell phone in the truck, and lets go have some fun.

Again, please solicit the advertisers in our pages because with-out them we wouldnt have a pub. Even though were free, buy a subscription if you can -- $15 gets you a whole year of Rec Rider de-livered to your front door by mail, and it goes a long way to keeping us afloat. Send in a story or tell us about your upcoming rides. Like us on Facebook, and watch our website for regular updates between issues. If you own or manage a business that could benefit from ad-vertising, buy an ad. We reach thousands of like-minded individuals with each and every printing. Together we can make a difference and continue to enjoy the sport we love.

Thanks again, and maybe well see you out on the trail.

Over the next few issues I thought it would be fun and worthwhile to follow the evolution of the machines we use in our sport, to see how we went from pull start lawnmower engines on frames to independent rear suspension monsters that can tackle just about anything. To do that, the best place to start is at the beginning, and finding the true origins of the Personal Recreational Vehicle has been an interesting journey, to say the least.

I, along with many other people, often assumed that the ATVs we ride today were strictly descendants of the Honda U.S. 90. Having been a young man when Three Wheeler Fever took the nation by storm and seeing these wonderful machines running all over the place, it was a pretty common assumption. With the ban of three-wheelers in 1987 and the manufacturers knowledge of the ban coming, it seemed that passing into four-wheeled ATVs was almost as natural as going from crawling to walking. However, it was just a growing pain in the process of making safer and faster machines.

As the aforementioned young man, I just rolled with it the best I could. It seemed that girls, school, music, cars and jobs seemed to fill the void. I never much thought about how these things came to be a part of our lives or where they were conceived, or, for that matter, what kind of person would think to themselves, I want to drive over the undriveable and do it looking cool, going fast and having fun.

My curiosity got the better of me when we bought the first quads for our daughters. I remember very clearly watching them ride their 90s in the backyard and thinking to myself what a battle it would be introducing them in this day and age. This, of course, led me to start thinking about which came first, the machine or the nut to ride it.

After much research, Ive come to believe that the nuts came first. But thats a subject that could be debated after a long trail ride and

some cold beverages. For now I am going to stick with the evolution of the machines and some of the people who made it possible for us to be where we are today.

To state that the U.S. 90 was the origin of our machines would be unfair. There were machines used by militaries and private industry to crawl over all kinds of terrain long before Honda decided to build a machine that farmers could use to help around their farms to make life a little easier. Ill get more into that later. I want to keep this aimed toward recreational ATVs, and therefore you would instantly assume that Honda had it pinned as the first on the market. You would be wrong.

As I looked back in history and found some people even older than me (who knew?), who loved this sport before it was anything more than a whim, I learned there were many different types of vehicles available from dealers, catalogs, and magazine ads such as Popular Mechanics and Boys Life. Most of these were kits you could purchase and build from parts readily available at local hardware stores.

The first ready-to-ride personal ATV you could buy and hit the trails with was the Sperry Rand TriCart. This was a Fiberglass bodied three wheeled buggy, powered by a 2 stroke Rockwell JLO 230, that literally rode like a cart but was ridden like a motorcycle.

It took your whole body to correctly ride this machine. There were foot pegs or running boards on either side of the forks at the front tire to help make steering possible. The handlebars were yoke shaped, and as you pushed up on them it actuated the rear disc brake for stopping. To open the throttle on the

JLO you pulled a chrome two finger throttle handle on the right side of the bars. It was driven by a centrifugal clutch to a sprocket, then a chain final drive to the solid rear axle. The gas tank was molded into the body of the cart, and the tires were 16x14.5-6 rear, and 16x11-6 on the front, which were great for adding to the stability of this low center of gravity sliding machine.

The creator of this machine and almost certainly the Granddaddy of the modern ATVs is John Plessinger. I had the great luck to speak with him at length this fall and listen to him burst with pride as we discussed the TriCart. The cart was his graduate project from school, and it wound up taking him well out of school into a contract with one of the largest agriculture machinery manufacturers there was at the time. John said his goal was to make a machine that took your whole body to control, which was more stable than a dirt bike but able to go over any terrain.

John met with many companies trying to get the TriCart built. One day at Sperry Rand, a division of New Holland, he had the luck of meeting with all three levels of management. It took a presentation to the top man on the

ladder, who f i n a l l y

The Evolution of Modern ATVs

By: Chas McHenry

The Sperry Rand Tricart was the original ATV built for mass production beginning in 1968.

potential and made it happen. New Holland set up a Special Products Division in 1968 in Lebanon, Ohio, and thats where the TriCart was made.

John started his career in fiberglass making grocery store display tables, where he learned the art of working with fiberglass. He created the body of the TriCart in one piece as a frame and body weighing less than 50 pounds. Add the seat pan, engine, tires and wheels, and you still had an all-terrain vehicle you could pick up and stick in the trunk of your brand new 1968 Chevy Chevelle. This compact little machine was capable of fast speeds of over 60 MPH and was built with its center of gravity so low that if you wanted to cut the wheel and slide the rear-end out around a turn at 60, it would do it without a hesitation. It was also capable of climbing hills, crossing streams, jumping and racing.

Sperry Rand was sending John and his invention all over the country for rides and races against other TriCarts and 6x6 vehicles before Honda even had a 90 on the ground in the USA. When I asked him what it was like racing the 90s, he said, It was a lot of fun; they would just lap them and keep going!

Once Johns machine became available to the public, there were quite a few copies made from his idea. They were available in all kinds of places and were designed with all the 1970s metal flake and chrome people could get on them, complete with a set of fiberglass fenders to keep the mud off. John went on to make a

few other machines in the TriCart vein, including the TriCub, which had a smaller footprint and engine for younger enthusiasts, and a six and four wheeled amphibious machine. He also made a TriCart stretcher -- a 500cc model stretched, which was a four-rear-wheel-driven lightening bolt for drag racing.

The TriCart was able to traverse a 30 degree side slope, a 45 degree climb, had a four foot turning radius and used a gallon of gas about every three hours. It was also the only three wheeled ATV ever designed to hold a passenger.

Johns agreement with Sperry Rand was a lease on his patents, so when they terminated the program they bought him out of their lease, and he used the money to start his own company, going on to build more machines and one of the first Stealth Missiles for McDonnell Douglas, among many other things. He retired from his business in 2005 and retired from racing Formula 200 cars last year. When I asked what he thought about the present day quads, he replied, Ive never ridden one, but seeing what they do out there on the track makes me think those guys are nuts! Johns story is a great one, and there is much more information on him and his machine available on the internet.

There are still a few of us who love these little machines, and we are always looking to help someone get theirs running or rescue one from the back side of a barn. So, if you know

of anyone who has one, feel free to contact me through this magazine, and we will help you get it all back together or find it a new home. Our sport is growing in popularity by leaps and bounds, and keeping the history of it available is an important part of it all.

Stay tuned in the next issue of Rec Rider for part two of the history of our machines, and well look further into the Big Four manufacturers, the ban of three-wheelers and the development of the machines we enjoy today.

Harrisburg Pennsylvanias forest and park system offers a wide range of ways for visitors to enjoy spending time outdoors during the winter, according to the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources.

Our state parks roll out the welcome mat to winter visitors entering a new world of outdoor excitement and adventure, said DCNR Secretary Richard Allan. We invite families to find a steep hill at a nearby state park and take the sleds for a spin, or stroll on a trail and enjoy the beauty and peace winter landscape offers.

Our snowmobile and ATV trails are now open, and hunters and anglers will be seeking out our state forests and parks for late-season hunting and ice fishing.

To view scheduled activities around the state, visit www.getoutdoorspa.state.pa.us.

The Nature Inn at Bald Eagle now is an established, popular component of our park system, offering a great launching point for winter activities like cross-country skiing at Bald Eagle State Park or for other outdoor adventures in the Pennsylvania Wilds, Allan said.

The Nature Inn (http://natureinnat baldeagle.com/) offers modern overnight accommodations and breakfast. Guests can relax in front of a large stone fi replace in the great room to warm up after outdoor activities.

This season, snowmobile riders in state forests and parks have access to 2,894 miles of marked joint-use state forest roads, closed roads, and trails in 18 of the states 20 state forest districts and 32 state parks. Winter ATV trails stretching more than 170 miles in seven state forest districts opened Dec. 11.

Snowmobile enthusiasts are reminded Bureau of Forestry snowmobile maps have been updated to refl ect considerable changes linked to gas operations and recent storm damage. Maps can be found at http://www.dcnr.state.pa.us/forestry/recreation/snowmobile/smplacestoride/snowmobiletrailmaps/index.htm.

Starting Dec. 13, DCNR will provide condition updates on its toll-free, snowmobile hot line, 1-877-SNOMBLE (1-877-766-6253). Recorded messages, providing reports on snow depths and trail conditions across the state, are updated at about noon each Tuesday and Thursday. DCNR also provides weather and condition reports online for state parks and forests.

Snowmobile enthusiasts will fi nd maps, conditions, and other detailed information at http://www.dcnr.state.pa.us/forestry/recreation/snowmobile/index.htm. Updated ice conditionsimportant to skaters and winter anglersand snow depths also are available.

All snowmobiles and ATVs in Pennsylvania must be registered with DCNRs snowmobile/ATV Unit. For more information on registration, call toll free (866) 545-2476 or visit DCNRs website.

When winter weather cooperates, state parks and forests also are the scene of coordinated winter festivals with games, dog-sled races, sleigh rides and fun competitions for families.

For cross-country skiers, more than 330 miles of marked cross-country ski trails are offered on Pennsylvanias more than 2.3 million acres of state forestland. Also available are nearly 400 miles of groomed and un-groomed cross-country ski trails in 73 state parks. Downhill skiing is offered at Blue Knob State Park, Bedford County; Denton Hill State Park, Potter County; and Camelback (Big Pocono State Park), Monroe County. Skiing again is not being offered this season at Laurel Mountain, Westmoreland County.

Most state parks with bodies of water are open, weather permitting, for ice-skating, ice fi shing and ice boating. Sledding and tobogganing also are available at many parks.

Archers, muzzle-loaders and other late-season hunters are reminded that more than 400 miles of normally gated state forest roads were opened for the late fall and early winter seasons to provide easy access to often remote areas. As much as 3,040 miles had been open to hunters, but openings and closings are at the discretion of local forestry offi cials and are weather-dependent. Hunters are urged to check with forest district offi ces about specifi c roads.

Several state parks have winter cabin rentals available. Cabin reservations can be made online at www.visitPAparks.com or by calling the toll-free information and reservation line, 1-888-PA-PARKS (1-888-727-2757). It operates Monday through Saturday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.

For details on ice and snow conditions, or winter festivals at state parks and forests, visitors also may call the nearest state park or state forest district offi ce. For general information, visit www.dcnr.state.pa.us or call 717-783-7941 (Bureau of Forestry) or 717-772-0239 (Bureau of State Parks).

ATV New York By: Bob DiehlYou can actually ride in NY? Of course, I

replied. We have an extensive ATV trail system on Tug Hill and in Lewis County. We also have five other counties surrounding Lewis County that are working to connect to our ATV trail system. The big picture here in upstate New York is thousands of miles of contiguous riding, from community to community, having your bags arrive ahead of you at your hotel, and waking up the next morning to ride your ATV to your next destination all the while getting food, fuel and adventure recreation along the way.

Thats the plan, according to Bob Diehl, Lewis County Recreational Trails Coordinator and the man in charge of the ATV trail system push in upstate NY. We have an extensive family-orientated ATV trail system in place, and we are ready to let riders from out of the area come ride with us! Lewis County is about half the distance from PA as West Virginia and about 90 minutes north of Syracuse.

The Lewis County ATV Trail System is made up of seasonal town and county roads connecting areas of off-road trails on private and county reforestation lands. There is no state land use to ATVs in New York State, and the NYS Department of Environmental Conservations ATV Policy is NO ATVs on state lands. You are forced to register and insure your ATV in NYS, but the state gives our ATV

registration money to the general fund, where none of it is used

to promote ATV riding in any way, shape, or form. We are not even allowed to ride Side-by-Sides (UTVs) unless they are registered and meet the definition of an ATV in NYS, which is 60 wide or less and 1,000 lbs. or less, which, as many of you know, eliminates almost all of the UTVs out there.

Even with the state against us and private citizens that make it their business to thwart our efforts at any and all points in the development of our ATV trail system, with varying groups and hundreds of others against ATVing, we are still moving forward, following the rules and regulations for trails and motorized recreation, usually going above and beyond what the minimum standards are. We have the perfect infrastructure in place here in upstate NY for ATV riding. Many of our towns have hundreds of miles of seasonal dirt roads, perfect for ATV riding and recreational tourism. Lewis County has taken this project on and partnered with the Tug Hill Adirondack ATV Association, consisting of eight clubs in five contiguous counties working together to create the only public ATV trail system in NYS.

Our ATV trail system requires you to purchase an ATV trail permit to ride. This is a pay to play system, and the funding source generated through the permits allows us to monitor, maintain, fix, build, rehabilitate, and sign our

trails. It

also allows us to do the maintenance where and when it is needed. Our trail permits also allow us to pay our Lewis County Sheriffs Department to patrol, educate and enforce the laws of the system and county and to make our system safe for riders and residents alike. The permits also fund an ATV safety program run by the Lewis County Sheriffs Department that teaches ATV safety to every sixth-grader in every Lewis County school.

Many of our club members and ATV Association members have ridden many of the riding areas across PA. Were trying to set up the best ATV trail system we can in Lewis County and would love our neighboring PA clubs to contact us, come up for a weekend, and let us tour them around our system, visit some of our clubs, and have a good time. It is this cooperation between clubs of different areas that will really spread the word about different riding areas close to where you live and help keep ATV trails and areas open and thriving. For more information on recreation in the county, visit www.lewiscountyrecreation.com. For information on the ATV trail permit and places to stay and other great things to do while here in Lewis County, visit www.adirondackstughill.org, and for the Tug Hill Adirondack ATV Association, visit www.tughilladirondacksatv.com. For information on tours and to set up a tour for your group, call Joe at 315-286-6621 or Lewis County Recreational Trails Coordinator Bob Diehl at 315-376-5972. Happy Trails.


Frontline at work #1It began with a phone call from Scott

Vogel, our Frontline 67 representative for Venango County in western Pennsylvania. It was one of those calls that went kind of like this: Hey Dick, I have a relative who works with someone who knows a guy whos interested in creating riding op-portunities in Pa., and I wondered if youd like to check into it? That simple mes-sage led me to the head of one of western Pennsylvanias regional tourist promotion agencies. From there, the conversation branched out to interested township super-visors, a handful of business people bent on progress, and a state legislator. The result was a conference call with the leadership at the Hatfield/McCoy trail system in West Virginia followed by a subsequent call with PaOHV leadership. The discussions and planning continue and have the potential to lead to significant economic growth and riding opportunities for western Pa. Front-line made it happen. Frontline at work #2

Jim Hovey, our Frontline 67 contact in Warren County, has for some months been the prime mover behind a PaOHV-spon-sored effort aimed at securing grant money

that will substantially improve rest room and camping opportunities on a portion of the motorized trail system in the Allegheny National Forest. Jim has had a long history in the Allegheny and probably understands the trail system as much as anyone. His tireless efforts over the years have helped to maintain and improve the trails that so many of us enjoy, and his understanding of the value of grassroots efforts aligned with state association resources is one more ex-ample of Frontline 67 at work. Frontline at work #3

PaOHV is fortunate to have enjoyed a long relationship with the hard working folks of the Central Mountains ATV As-sociation (CMATVA). They have been one of PaOHVs most avid supporters, and the club continues to be an influential force in making things happen on the trail system in the Sproul State Forest in north central Pa., and PaOHV is proud to be a supporter of their efforts. Central Mountains ATV is working to improve access to parts of the motorized trail system in the Sproul, and during a recent planning session we asked our Lackawanna County Frontline 67 mem-ber Rob Gorczyk to join us. Even though Rob lives quite a distance from the Sproul,

he rides there often, and we felt his pro-fessional skills would be a good addition to our combined Sproul strategy. Rob is not only an avid ATVer, he is the VP of Integrated Facility Services, Inc., and as such he has extensive experience dealing with environmental issues, permitting, and myriad of other skills that stand a good chance of being needed as we move along. Its another example of Frontline 67 at work.

The next time you head into the woods on your ATV, dirt bike, or side by side, take the time to consider the privilege youre enjoying and recognize that there are hun-dreds of committed individuals, club lead-ers, volunteers, enlightened legislators, who, along with your state association, are fighting to maintain and extend legal rid-ing areas in the Keystone state. And then, GET INVOLVED! Join PaOHV, become a club member, or start a club if there isnt one in your area. PaOHV has the tools to help you do it. And, consider becoming a Frontline 67 representative in your county. If you and your friends expect to ride TO-MORROWyou need to get involved TO-DAY. You can begin the process by logging on at www.paohv.org. Thanks!

On a crisp autumn morning, in the third week of October, the sound of an air horn alerted riders that the day was about to start. It was time for the third annual ride from Trevorton to Donaldson, a 75-mile-plus ride that encompasses a Tri-County area in the heart of the anthracite coal region. The staging area was the proposed A.O.A.A primitive camping area on Northumberland County property known as Heart Lake, a name given to the area because of the shape of the body of water the property is situated on.

The riders, some who camped overnight, and others who were arriving that Saturday morning began to prepare for this annual trek. With an 8 a.m. departure time, riders began to assemble in an area known as Wrights Field for a group photo before heading into the trail system. The riders were divided into two groups with knowledgeable trail guides in the lead. With much excitement, the group headed out with check point one being a fire tower in an area known as Burnside.

As fate would have it, one of the riders dirt bikes encountered major mechanical problems two miles into the ride. The broken bike was towed back to camp, and the group was on their way again. Once at the fire tower, the guide was calling back, checking on the other riders. The first group, after a slight break, started on their way toward a mine fire in an area known as Locust Summit. As we approached, the plumes of smoke were evident. The cool morning was presenting a prime opportunity to view an underground mine fire. Several minutes into our stop, the sound of approaching riders meant the second group had made up lost time and was back on schedule.

Our next destination was the wind mills in Aristes; there we took a brief tour through the nearly vacated town of Centralia. The trail would bring us up an abandoned stretch of Route 61, where large crevices were evidence of an even larger mine fire. With the wind mills in sight, something seemed odd; all of the windmills were rotating except for the last in line. Upon arrival, we came upon a repair crew on a work platform suspended by cables and tethered to two trucks, repairing a blade that had been struck by lightning.

We were now headed to a mid-day lunch and fueling stop at Redners Market above Gilberton. Fuel cans had been stored in advance, and as riders headed to the store, several walked to the fuel island to supply

the group. Within 45 minutes the riders were ready to embark on the second leg of this journey. Coal-fired co-generation plants visible in the distance, and we were off again.

As we approached, there was a rough area washed out by recent rains, which would temporarily disable one riders quad. With prompt teamwork we were soon heading under an overpass for Route 81 above Frackville, with the destination being a large Culm pile known as the top of the world above Saint Clair. Beautiful aerial views are to be seen here, as the vehicle traffic appears to look like an army of ants converging on the local commercial district known as Coal Creek Commerce Center. With a short scheduled break we were now headed to the 901 Pub above Minersville for a quick pit stop. There we saluted a great day of riding and were on the near side of our destination, but daylight was getting sparse.

Out to the trail we were now headed to a natural waterfall above Newtown. With a brief intermission, the group would then proceed to a concrete basin where water from the falls empties down the mountain. The riders were assembled at the head of the basin known as the Floom. As one rider went ahead to video the group, all were anxious to enter this interesting portion of the ride. With video camera running, all proceeded to splash their way to the end. With much enthusiastic talk to be heard, we were off on our final leg of the journey. With our destination in sight, we proceeded to an area where my friend Wayne and his family allowed us to park our trucks and trailers at a secure location across from their home. As we trickled in, smiling faces could be seen by those on the porch awaiting our arrival. Though many were a bit weary from the days ride, all made the journey. As machines were loaded for the return trip, the last remaining minutes of daylight were disappearing. With a 6 p.m. finish time, all that remained now was the trip back and a scheduled community cookout. After the long day of events, many returned to their campsites early for the evening. The ride, with forty- three in attendance, was a huge success with teamwork and cooperation. It is now a memory many will relish for many years to come.

In my research of ATV Clubs in PA, as well as surrounding states, I fi nd two kinds of clubs: those that have a private trail system and those that dont. Typically, the ones that dont are located near a public or private trail system, and they use the club to organize

riding days, events, and, in many cases, work days to help to keep those trail systems open and safe.

I have been an offi cer in the Indian Creek Valley ATV Club for about six years, and I know fi rsthand how diffi cult it is to lease (or own) land for ATV riding. Our club leases over 750 acres, and we have about 32 miles of trails with an annual budget of nearly $20,000 a year. Every year is a struggle to cover our costs while continuing to look for more property so we can grow our club. This year was, without a doubt, the best year since I became a member. For the fi rst time in my involvement, we made money. (It is critical to note that this club would have closed long ago if not for the support of three Yamaha grants [2008, 2009, & 2010] and one Polaris grant in [2007].)

Income Sources:Memberships account for about two-thirds of our income, and this year

we surpassed our goal of 200 members with 211 family memberships. Our second largest source is our Open Houses, which were very well attended, netting about 10% of our income needs. Thanks to all of our members selling raffl e tickets (and those who buy them) we received 14% of our income. This year we had our fi st Dealer Event in which a local ATV dealer paid us to use our grounds to invite his customers for a day of riding. This was a win-win-win event since his customers enjoyed a great day of riding, we received some money, and those customers learned about our club. Guest rides are a great way to encourage potential members to try our trails. They pay a one-day fee, visit the trails, and if they join, the guest fee is taken off the membership price. Shirt and hat sales do not bring in a lot of money, but it does help to get the word out about our club.

Expenses:Leases represent almost half of our costs.

We pay the real estate taxes for the landowner in exchange for the right to use their land. Trail work includes the equipment we need to spray and trim as well as hiring heavy equipment to address erosion ruts and off-camber situations. This is an ongoing expense that should not be overlooked. Our insurance policy protects our landowners from liability suits. Operations and fees include things like renting a room for monthly meetings, website fees, map printing, etc. No member of our club receives any money for work done for the club. Offi cer efforts, trail maintenance, newsletter writing, etc. is all done on a volunteer basis.

As outdoor riding enthusiasts, we should all be aware of the costs and efforts put forth by all organizations and businesses that keep these areas open. I am truly amazed that the for-profi t riding areas like Mines and Meadows, Rock Run, and Majestic Kamp can remain in business paying for all the trailwork and staying profi table. Please continue to support our club and any place that makes riding areas available

WHERE TO RIDE - ATV Trails on State Forest Land

Registration, Titling and Insuring Your ATVWho must register and title?All ATVs in Pennsylvania, except ATVs used solely for business or agricultural purposes, need to be registered and titled with DCNR. ATVs used in Pennsylvania must be registered and titled with DCNRs Snowmobile/ATV Section. The ATV registration and titling fees are NOT user fees for the privilege of using trails on state-owned land. The fees provide funding to administer the program, maintain trails in DCNR-managed parks and forests, and provide grants to profit and non-profit organizations for developing additional riding opportunities.

Two Types Of Registrations Apply:Registration For ATVs used anywhere off of your own property or property leased by you, such as designated State Forest trails. $20 fee every two years

Limited Registration For ATVs used solely on your own land or land leased by you. Free registration -No expiration, unless ownership of vehicle changes

Plates and Decals An ATV owner will be issued a registration plate for the vehicle. An expiration sticker to be affixed to the plate will be issued for standard registrations.

Liability Insurance If you are using your ATV solely on land owned or leased by you, you are not required to get liability insurance. All other riders must carry liability insurance. Proof of that insurance must be carried with you when you ride. There are no minimum requirements or coverage standards established by DCNR or the Snowmobile/ATV Law for the liability insurance.
