[QUOTE="2TrakR, post: 922114, member: 27322"] He could write a ticket if you were "acting as an ORV" vs acting as a SOS licensed vehicle. Very difficult for him to proof the former in the situation you were in. When your plated bike is on an ORV Trail (Trail, not Route) or in a designated cross-country scrambles area (Black Lake, Silver Lake, St Helen MotorSports area, etc.) your bike is not operating as a SOS licensed vehicle but as an ORV. In that case, you need the ORV sticker. What's the difference? ORV Trails are legally defined to include operation by ORVs, not PA300 vehicles (cars). Generally, all ORV Routes use forest roads; SOS licensed vehicles are permitted to operate on all open forest roads, so no ORV sticker needed on ORV Routes when in your car. There are some ORV Routes that a SOS licensed vehicle can't traverse, very rare and few in numbers anymore. A bad example, but legitimate, are a couple of ORV Routes in the Little Manistee system. There are a couple of 50" trails that are designated (improperly) as ORV Route. Better example: Gladwin ORV Route (now closed) had conditions that would preclude a conventional 2 wheel drive passenger car from traversing the Route. Due to conditions an ORV would be required, thus your bike would be considered as an ORV when on that route. Generally speaking, I would consider the court to side in your favor on such judgement/technicality items. Glad you had the sticker; sorry to have misunderstood originally. And guys - remember that tickets don't equate to revenue for the Department. After court fees are subtracted the balance goes to the local county budget. [/QUOTE]
