    Street-legal buggys - It Passed!

    I need to double check the bill language in SB154. I didn't write that one. I can tell you for sure that it means on all roads state wide that are either under the jurisdiction the state or counties (except for any road in SL County, federal interstates like I-15, and certain controlled access...

    Street-legal buggys - It Passed!

    For now only full size street legal ATVs. But who knows what we could do in the future. Once LEOs see that beadlock wheels are no big deal we might be able to allow them for use on all vehicles. In fact I know a decent lobbyist who might be able to get that done for you! ;)

    Street-legal buggys - It Passed!

    Existing statute will still show the population limit on all street legal ATVs. SB154 that has passed and awaits the governor's signature will change that section of code. Our bill HB148 will modify that section of code further to create a new full size street legal ATV with a few differences to...

    U4WDA Alert, Tooele County Road Meeting

    Actually Don, I didn't request people not send in letters or hold off. I just want to make sure people submit comments based on facts not rumors. I would encourage any and all interested to contact the Tooele County commissioners and discuss concerns and if need be submit a letter. We have...

    SB 22 Need some Suggested Changes

    Steve, I really feel bad about how you feel. I don't agree with all that you claim. But I can understand why you have interpreted things a certain way. I will admit that things could (then and now) be run better, tighter, etc. I would love more oversight; it would protect me from false claims...

    SB 22 Need some Suggested Changes

    No Hard Feelings There is so much I could respond to but I really don't think it would change anyone’s mind. I will simply say there are multiple sides to the sad fall out USA-ALL had back then. When things imploded I felt as though I were living in a twilight zone. A few trusted friends turned...

    SB 22 Need some Suggested Changes

    Jeff, It was GREAT to talk to you. After I spoke with you I called Rep Noel to discuss another issue. I brought up SB 22. He told me it was going to conference over a disagreement having something to do with tire size. He felt it would be unlikely to change the bill as we need it, BUT he again...

    SB 22 Need some Suggested Changes

    Crawlinbear...All valid points. I am a little puzzled why UHP\DPS has been SO against this...it may stem from opposition to the bill last year. I would like to work with people who are ready to register their vehicles as a street legal ATV this year...we have until July to do so even if this...

    SB 22 Need some Suggested Changes

    You know this has been the weirdest bill ever for many reasons... I'm not happy with the process by which it moved. Others in the off-road community and even state government are not thrilled with a few changes it made either. I'm happy to yank some chains over this...but I really need some...

    SB 22 Need some Suggested Changes

    At this point it would be almost impossible to kill the bill. You don't do that once it passes both houses. This bill was greased, we almost had it fixed...but I still have lingering questions. I have not been able to find one single person who has registered a full size vehicle as a street...

    SB 22 Passes the House

    Wow. I just got a call from a both bill sponsors and UHP. With serious questions and concerns over the changes. They claim that all of us can already register our rigs as street legal and so there is no need for our changes. The senator is going to fight the changes and move to amend the bill...

    SB 22 Passes the House

    This bill passed with changes wrote by none other than USA-ALL with the help from a few on this forum! They took our changes and placed them where and how we wanted...nice. This bill had already passed the Senate but because the House changed it it will go back for consideration of the...

    Rally at the Capital

    Rep. Mike Noel will be there and will speak to us, The governor will be in a meeting in the room above us...we could raise the roof. Other legislators as always will come and listen and a few from the media will come and report on it. I can assure you based on past experience that most...
