lane splitting 405/san diego fwy; santa rides a red klr!
Posted: Wed Dec 23, 2009 12:44 pm
I can speak to Virginia and Maryland law -- a licensed vehicle (KLR with
plates) is not an OHV, and does not have to meet those requirements. Any
unlicensed vehicle -- ATV, dirtbike, KLR without plates, DualSport with
a photocopy of a license plate taped to the rear fender -- *is* and OHV.
What makes *this* really screwy is in the Greenridge State Forest,
Maryland. There's an 18-mile loop of fireroad-quality riding. OHV's need
a yearly permit, and can go only in one direction. Licensed vehicles can
go in *either* direction. Some of those unlicensed vehicles are
ridden/driven like there's no chance of a head-on with a full size
pickup or SUV. Oops.
