The Truth About Rhino ATVs and Safety

The Truth About Rhino ATVs and Safety
Thursday June 25, 2009
Rhino Logo For several years there has been a flood of lawyers exaggerating claims about Yamaha Rhino ATVs being unsafe and unstable. This mis-information has prompted numerous lawsuits against Yamaha by people that drive these high-performance golf carts in a manner that is, at the very least, not intended by the manufacturer.

OHVs BLM Relationship on the Rocks?

BLM’s New Director May Not Be a Good Pick

What’s in Store for the OHV Community’s Historically Amicable Relationship with the BLM?
Sunday June 21, 2009
In my work with the OHV community over the years I’ve often found the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to be one of the more un-biased government agencies that deals with public land issues.

Matt Finley - ATVs / Offroading Guide for About.com

From Matt Finley:

As the father of two boys who were born with wheels instead of toes, I am 100% committed to safe, responsible riding habits. The best way I can think of to promote those types of values, besides by example, is to promote them in my work.

As About.com’s Guide to ATVs and Off Roading I will do my best to provide you with the information you need to make educated decisions about ATVs and off road recreation including un-baised and un-influenced machine and accessory reviews. I’ll also try to give you fair, educated and well-researched insight to issues that might interest or impact you and your ability to ride.

Make State Land ATV-Friendly in Vermont

Make State Land ATV-Friendly in Vermont

The state of Vermont is in a hotly contested battle to decide whether or not to allow ATVs on state land.

It’s a no-brainer. ATVers pay taxes just like other people in Vermont and they have every right to use State land. If you want it closed to ATVs, you need to close it to everyone, including hikers, bikers and equestrians.

Here we go again. the Fed is set to take more money from the California OHV Trust Fund which, by the way, is one of the only State programs that is self-funded, and use it to fund State Parks that DONT ALLOW OHV USE. That money is collected from OHVers gas taxes, registration and entrance fees to State Vehicle Recreation Areas (SVRAs).

End Zone Buzz: Da Bears Hug For Cutler

Jay Cutler. Bear fan as a child, Broncos Quarterback as an adult. He threw for more yards last year for the Broncos than any Bears Quarterback in any season. Ever. Now the Bears have him and Jay Cutler couldn’t be happier. He said it’s a dream come true, and for the Bears, their dream (of a Championship Title) is now a very real possibility.

The Outdoor Weblog: Defending the Hedge Against Coyotes

Without sounding like one of those extreme loons who think animals are more important than people, I’d like to point out one of the bad sides of humans spreading out and succeeding; the displacement of indigenous species. An interesting angle on this situation can be seen in the movie Over The Hedge, but it does little to provide you with solutions to real life situations like coming face to face with one or more hungry, displaced coyotes.
