Nash those rules are for the trail pass trails i believe.First i heard of trail pass btw...hope it goes away or doesn't come near me.We ride upstate and i've never been checked by the law .My county says liability and registration but most i know don't have it.I have both on my bikes,one of which is a exc200,lights removed.We ride sled trails ,power lines and county trail.I'm north of syracuse ,in oswego county where there are many sled,quad,bike riders.Btw dirtbikes,3,4, wheelers are all atv's in NY dmv's eyes,that's what the reg says .I'm not sure what the state wide rules are but i see all kinds of machines with all kinds of aftermarket stuff.As i mentioned never have we seen the law of any kind on the trail or in road vehicles posted at a road crossing....i'de like and hope that continues.
