Bad news,

Just a few years ago it WAS legal in Oregon. For whatever reason, like 3 years ago hwy use was outlawed on atv's.

I think the only way you could make it legal now is to convert a street legal motorcycle into a quad. I am thinking like old crappy street bike. And modify it to the degree that you have hardly anything left from original save the VIN #.

Any other thoughts on this? Anyone?

IMO, being street legal means being able to go faster than the cop chasing you

Iv seen a street bike in DW that they made into a wheeler for road use! But I kinda didnt want to hafe to do that, prolly just get a truck. But Ill go talk to the DMV or police station.

thats what ive always thought of doing, just have a quad and you can use it for driving and the track trails...ect. and also remember quads use much less gas and (4strokes) usually burn really clean. we just got back from riding to the gas station. no one around here gives a crap. my friend rode his shee over thursday and he passed a guy on the highway and he just waved at him.

I wish it was like that here.

Its like that here too, the only way to get into trouble by ridding on the road is if a cop catches you. My parents are cool about it, they let me and a friend ride on the road at night!!! Its asways fun to pass cars!!!We go and get gas at this gas station all the time, but then agin I live out in the BOON DOCKS!!!!!!! I think everyone in this "town" is related:confused2

man i hear ya..

my parents are pretty cool about letting me out on the roads. they used to never let me, but they started to when we got the snow and there was nowhere for me to ride around here. i havent been to any gas stations cuz the nearest one is like 8 miles away:huh
noone around here seems to mind us out riding the roads. most people will even wave at me when i ride by. ive found that if i obey the traffic laws, most people are pretty cool about it:macho

Yea, the gas astation is like 5-8 miles away, but we take all the back roads and make it like a 30 mile trip and only go on road 4 like 2 miles!:D It soooooooo cool cause I can get to like ALL the coo roidden places from my house. I do hafe to ride on the road in some parts, but hardly any!!! Me and my friends take the 4x4's out and go camp in the woods by the gas station, so we go down and get food and gas about twice a day!!!!4x4's in the mud are almost as fun as my r on the track!!!! :devil
