  2. It's actually for a friend of ours. He's looking at buying our Polaris Sport 400 for his wife and wanted to put pink plastics on it for her. But the quad is a 1996 and I haven't been able to find plastics for it. So I suggested painting it...I mean I see rhinos with killer paint jobs, so I figure there must be someone who can paint a quad.

  3. I couldn't believe the people that were coming in when we were leaving today. That was at about 1p.m. By the time we got to the end of the dirt road to turn out onto 127 there was a line of trailers and motorhomes getting ready to turn in. Everyone going out this weekend, be safe, it's going to be crazy.

    By the way this passed and the Governor signed it

    From what I understand

    BILL ANALYSIS

    SENATE TRANSPORTATION & HOUSING COMMITTEE BILL NO: AB 2755

    SENATOR ALAN LOWENTHAL, CHAIRMAN AUTHOR: Blakeslee

    VERSION: 6/5/06

    Analysis by: Carrie Cornwell FISCAL: Yes

    Hearing date: June 13, 2006

    SUBJECT:

    All-terrain vehicles: operating violations

    DESCRIPTION:

    This bill makes parents and guardians legally responsible for

    the illegal operation of all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) by children

    under 14.

    ANALYSIS:

    Existing law prohibits a child under 14 years of age from

    operating an ATV on public lands in California unless the child

    is accompanied by and under the direct supervision of a parent

    or guardian, or an adult authorized by the parent or guardian,

    and one of the three following conditions is met:

    The child has an ATV safety certificate issued by this

    state or another state;

    The child is taking a safety training course under the

    direct supervision of a Certified ATV safety instructor; or

    The child is under the direct supervision of an adult who

    has in his or her possession an appropriate safety

    certificate issued by this state or another state.

    This bill makes it a crime for a parent or guardian or another

    adult authorized by the parent or guardian to grant permission

    or knowingly allow a child under age 14 to operate an ATV unless

    that child meets one of the above three conditions in existing

    law. Penalties for this new crime are:

    For a first conviction, a court may impose a fine of up to

    AB 2755 (BLAKESLEE) Page 2

    $125 or may order the adult to take or retake and complete an

    ATV safety training course and then to provide the court with

    a certificate to prove that the course was completed. (The

    fine of $125 when paid would be approximately $475 with

    penalty enhancements.)

    For a second conviction, a court may impose a fine of $125

    to $250. (The fine paid would be approximately $475 to $900

    with penalty enhancements.)

    For a third or subsequent conviction, a court may impose a

    fine of $250 to $500. (This fine would be approximately $900

    to $1,770 with penalty enhancements.)

    If the child was not properly supervised when he or she violated

    existing law, then the court may order the child to take an ATV

    safety training course and then to provide the court with a

    certificate to prove that the course was completed. The court

    may order the child to take such a course only if the child's

    parent, guardian, or the adult authorized by the parent or

    guardian is convicted of allowing a child to operate an ATV

    without a safety certificate. The adult shall accompany the

    child to the court-ordered ATV safety training course.

    COMMENTS:

    1)Purpose . The author introduced this bill to "promote safe

    ridership in California's Off Highway Vehicle recreation

    areas. California has a long and proud history of OHV

    recreating, and tradition of safety, responsibility, and

    stewardship associated with OHV programs." The author notes

    that the bill proposes a subtle change to existing law that

    would allow enforcement of unsafe riding to be directed to a

    supervising parent, guardian, or adult, rather than forcing

    punitive actions to be directed at younger children. The

    author believes that the bill will lead to minor ATV riders,

    and the adults responsible for them, taking ATV safety

    certification courses.

    2)Background . Those under 18 who ride ATVs on public lands in

    this state must either possess a safety certificate or be

    supervised by an adult who has a safety certificate. The

    California Department of Parks and Recreation provides

    training and certification free of charge to anyone under the

    age of 18 through a program sponsored by its Off-Highway Motor

    Vehicle Recreation (OHV) Division. The ATV Safety Institute, a

    AB 2755 (BLAKESLEE) Page 3

    nonprofit ATV safety training organization, runs the program

    under contract with the OHV Division of State Parks. Adults

    can receive the same training for a fee, although most

    manufacturers include the training with the purchase of a new

    vehicle.

  5. Who's your dad? We've been dealing with Wheeler's for almost a year now and we've been through 4 service writers. Please give me the name of someone competent down there cuz I haven't found one yet. Although I've been told a new service manager took over recently and is supposedly getting service headed in the right direction...we'll see.
