Quad Street Legality

[hondariderdylan]

Well i learned today that one of my good freinds is getting her motorcycle permit this week and is going to get to ride her dads dualsport to work

i have also have a job currently and was throwing around the idea of seeing if it was possible in my area to street legalize a quad

i saw a guy in arizona that rode his LTR on the street legaly and it got my mind running

i was planning on getting a 400ex or a 450R at the end of the summer or putting the money into my truck but if i could ride the quad to work/school it would save a ton of gas and ....... well i would be riding my quad to work and school, how cool is that?:D

i know that i would probably need to at least get a set of street tires, regear it to run good speeds, get a motorcycle tag/licence, and a turn signal kit


anyone else have any input or insight as to info on the matter or any experience with it?
any feedback would be great:)

i've looked into it for years

in my state. it is considered a car. becasue it has 4 wheels. you must have a seat belt, turn signals, street legal tires, horn, break light high/low beam headlights.

some people has put a custom swingarm on quad that have 1 wheel. so then it is considered a motorcycle. but then its not really your fourwheeler.

where i live i can ride on most roads besides highways

Oregon is terrible, for it to be legal here, it must be labeled from the factory as an "on-road" vehicle, so even if you put street tires and turn signals and all that on a rhino or quad or anything, it is still illegal, even if you use a dirtbike, it still is.

well for the GA guys i have good news

i just got done with the first in-car driving part of my drivers ed course and my instuctor was a cop, he is also into all kinds of bikes and cars and he said as long as it has a brake/healight, turn signals, motorcycle tag, etc. you can have it registered in georgia

he said that cops will often pull you over becuase they think it illegal and when they run your tag and it comes back clean, you will be set

i might try it:D
